Eyelash Grower Tips

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.

How to get long eyelashes naturally rather depends on how you define “naturally”. Here, we are going to define it as being able to grow your own eyelashes so that they become longer, thicker and better conditioned.

Science has been kind to us of late, and if we are born with short, stubby and thin lashes, have suffered an accident or have lost eyelashes because of illness or medications, eyelash growth products have been developed that can be used to improve the condition and volume of your eyelashes. This is a good thing, as not all of us want to stick on false eyelashes, have eyelash implants or extensions. Although you can get ‘natural’ false eyelashes if you buy the mink hair ones, these do not appeal to everyone.

So, on to how to get long eyelashes naturally. The easiest way is to use eyelash growth products. Now, these are not completely natural in the true sense of the word although they do contain substances such as wheat germ, kelp, chamomile and nettle. However, they do also contain some of those things you can’t pronounce such as Phenoxyethanol (used to kill bacteria and stabilize the formulation), so what price beauty! Now Phenoxyethanol is an organic compound, but a number of cosmetic manufacturers buy in a cheaper synthetic for their products. Without wishing to spread any concern about any possible dangers of using these products as the majority, it is wise to read any small print. The majority of products you can buy have been cleared as safe to use by various governing bodies in different countries. But if you do feel really strongly about this type of thing as many do, I am sure you will avoid them anyway.

Eyelash growth products work by the application of a serum to the base of the eyelashes (both upper and lower if required) at least once a day, sometimes twice depending on the individual product you choose. This is usually done at night after gently removing all traces of makeup. It takes around 2 to 4 weeks to see a difference and you should notice the lashes are thicker, longer and in a better condition. Look for a product that has information of clinical trials so you know it actually works. A word of note, to maintain those thick lashes you will need to continue to use your eyelash grower product. Missing the odd day will not make much difference, but in general it is logically to assume you need to keep using it.

Prices for an eyelash grower serum vary considerably, but usually you don’t need the most expensive and the cheapest may not be best, choose a middle priced one. Around $40 should see you through 2-3 months if used correctly so the cost isn’t that prohibitive.

How to get long eyelashes naturally can be as simple as it sounds, check the product ingredients out for yourself and then decide whether you want to use an eyelash grower serum, stick with what you have, or perhaps use false eyelashes.
