Do You Need An Eyelash Grower?

Using Eyelash Grower Serum

Don’t you just think it’s so unfair that Great Uncle Fred has been blessed with those long, thick eyelashes that we would give our eye teeth for! However, everyone is different and if you lose your eyelashes either through pulling them, illness or accident then you are likely to want to find an eyelash grower that works, and fast.

First, a little about eyelash loss. One thing you should remember is that like the hair on your head, your eyelashes will fall out regularly but they will also replace themselves over four to eight weeks (longer if they have suffered a lot of damage). If you wear contact lenses eyelash loss will usually be greater. As people age, this process slows considerably and your eyelashes will never be as full as they were when you were younger. If you haven’t already tried an eyelash growth serum, then maybe this is a good time to do it.

Other things that affect eyelash growth apart from pulling them, is rubbing, curling, cleaning so you need to be careful and keep your eyelashes healthy. Those who suffer from an underperforming thyroid gland are also likely to lose small clumps of eyelashes.

There are a few things you can do and the most convenient is probably a really good mascara that is designed to lengthen and thicken the lashes you have. However, such mascaras can be harder to remove and make even more eyelashes fall out in the process. Therefore, greater care must be taken when cleaning the eyes. You could also use fake eyelashes but these need to be glued into place along the eyelash line so again, when you take them off there is a possibility that you may pull out your own eyelashes. Eyelash extensions can also be used and this is where individual lashes are glued next to your own. This process can be expensive and if your problem is habitual eyelash pulling, or eye rubbing, it may not solve your problem. You could also consider eyelash implants, but this isn’t for the faint hearted and is prohibitively expensive! I prefer to find out how to get long eyelashes naturally.

Now let’s look at eyelash grower serums. Such products normally include Bimatoprost or Latanoprost that of course are not so natural! They are safe to use providing you don’t over use the product in the belief that it may help the lashes grow even quicker. Applying the eyelash grower serum close to the root will see a difference in just two to four weeks on average.

Examples of an eyelash grower serum include Idol Lash, RapidLash and LiLash. Elsewhere on this site you will find eyelash grower reviews.

Important ….. If you live in the UK, we still recommend the following eyelash grower; Idol Lash or visit our UK site at www.eyelashgrower.co.uk for more information.

Do Eyelashes Grow Back?

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Do eyelashes grow back is actually quite a common question and the answer is yes, your eyelash growth is usually the same as the hair on your head. However, it doesn’t necessarily follow that if you have full, thick hair on your head that your eyelashes will be full and thick as well.

There are several factors that affect eyelash growth, trauma (mental or physical), age and your normal care routine to name but three. Let’s look at those three one-by-one.

Should you be unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident the shock of that accident, even if it does not involve your eyes, an accident can stop the growth for a while. Similarly, if you are very stressed or depressed this can happen as well. Of course you would be more concerned if you had an accident that directly affected your eyes, such as getting them singed at a barbeque! At these times you may have asked yourself, “do eyelashes grow back”. The answer is still yes, and they should grow back normally even if this takes longer than normal you should still see growth within 4 to 8 weeks. When the regrowth starts, this will be usually at the same rate as the growth of the hair on your head.

When you are younger, as with a lot of things, your body is better at regeneration. Age unfortunately not only affects the skin, it will also affect the regeneration process of the eyelashes and you will find your eyelashes thinning out considerable. You could try an eyelash grower serum which will certainly help as some have been scientifically tested (some of these tests may not pass what some people think of as science, but they have certainly shown something happening). The serums are applied to base of the lashes with a mascara wand every night for a couple of weeks so are very simple to use. You will have to re-do this every couple of months but the effects are worth it. You could also try the serums once your lashes have started to re-grow following trauma.

If you do not care for your eyes properly you will of course end up damaging your lashes. Too many people go for a quick wipe, dragging and pulling out their eyelashes as they do so. Be gentle and think about what you are doing and NEVER sleep in your make-up! Not only is this particularly unattractive in the morning, your eyes will suffer.

So, do eyelashes grow back? They certainly do for the majority of people but if you are worried contact your doctor. Otherwise, I’m afraid you will just need to be patient!
