Eyelashes
Trying to improve our eyelashes , make them longer and fluffier, bending them and tint, we sometimes forget that eyelashes are not just another "accessory" of our beauty, but the natural protection of our eyes from dust, sweat and even the sun.

Let's listen to what dermatologists have to say about eyelashes, little-known facts about them and how to make them healthy and beautiful.


So, here are 7 little-known facts about our lashes:

1. Eyelashes need regular cleansing.

Our eyelashes are made from the same material as our hair and just as dirty as protecting our eyes is a "dirty job". As a result, a layer of dust mixed with sweat and mascara quickly builds up on the lashes. To gently cleanse your lashes, place a warm water compress on them before washing them with baby shampoo.

2. Eyelashes change with age.

You may have noticed that the length and thickness of the eyelashes change with age - and this is true. The fact is that eyelashes, like hair, are characterized by similar age-related changes. In order to keep your eyelashes thick and beautiful, you need to add elements and substances to your daily diet that promote hair growth - for example, biotin, a B vitamin.

3. Curling irons are harmful to eyelashes.

When it comes to a cosmetic tool like an eyelash curler, the usual concern is the loss of eyelashes, which the curler can accidentally pull out. However, experts say that much more often such tools simply break the eyelashes in half, and this is what you should be afraid of.

Therefore, instead of aggressively curling your lashes, it is best to use your curling iron for literally 10 seconds and with minimal pressure before applying mascara.

4. Eyelashes may grow too long.

It is believed that every girl dreams of long eyelashes, but too long eyelashes are uncomfortable and can lead to painful consequences. Increased hormonal activity (the same one that leads to friable eyebrows) sometimes causes eyelashes to grow to unusual lengths.

If your eyebrows need a "haircut", it is best to visit a professional beautician to learn how to care for your naughty lashes, and then purchase a pair of special scissors.

5. Waterproof mascara will irritate them.

The same ingredients that make the mascara waterproof get in the way of your lashes. Designed to repel all kinds of foreign bodies, including dust, dirt and sweat, eyelashes can repel the mascara that covers them (containing silicone and other waterproof substances). And this, in turn, can lead to unpleasant allergic reactions such as itching, redness of the eyelids and watery eyes.

If you want to protect your eyes and eyelashes from these side effects, use mascara with a natural composition, without preservatives or other harmful additives.

6. False eyelashes can be dangerous.

Of course, a lot of celebrities love fake eyelashes (certainly a more expensive and high quality version of what is usually available for women), but they are not as safe as they seem.

The formaldehyde and other components they contain are harmful to eyelashes and eyelids. And when misapplied, fake eyelashes can rip out a significant portion of your own when they fall off or are removed. But if you still want to try false eyelashes, don't do it yourself - go to a reputable beauty salon with good specialists.

7. You can grow long and thick eyelashes.

For those who still want to grow longer and thicker eyelashes than they were given by nature, dermatologists and cosmetologists are advised to find good cosmetics for this. However, for this, you should consult with your dermatologist and take into account that such funds not only contribute not only to improving the condition of the eyelashes, but can also cause various side effects.
