Eyelashes are an essential part of our look. They also have their functional part: they protect the eye from external impurities and filter sunlight. Regardless of the aesthetic, it is important to take care of it daily. Rocío Escalante, owner of Arbosana Farmacia and expert in dermopharmacy, gives us her advice to keep them healthy and beautiful.
Always remove eye makeup with specific products
If you use mascara or any other makeup product on your eyes, it is essential to always remove your makeup before going to bed. You have to choose a specific make-up remover for the eyes (their formulas are designed to be gentle and not to attack) and using a pad or cotton swab, gently clean them, without rubbing the eyes around the eyes undamaged eyelashes. It is better to leave it on for a few seconds so that the make-up softens and then remove all the residue with a light massage.
Nourish and hydrate the lashes
More hydrated and nourished lashes they will be stronger, healthier and look better. There are specific serums for eyelashes that are applied every night and that even have the effect of making them longer and thicker, which promotes their growth. You have to be constant, choose good products and be patient, because the results are visible after weeks of treatment.
Choose a good makeup
When it comes to applying eyelashes, choose quality cosmetics. Avoid using expired products (remember, all beauty and cosmetic products expire) and don’t abuse waterproof masks (which can be more complicated to remove makeup).
Do not abuse the eyelash curler!
The eyelash curler is a good tool to curl your eyelashes, but you have to use it correctly and without abuse. Check that it is in good condition, do not over tighten (as they will weaken) and do not use it daily.
Protect them from the sun
UV rays can dry out lashes and make them more brittle. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and wear sunglasses to protect both the lashes and the entire eye.
Take care of food
The eyelashes, like the rest of the body, benefit from a balanced and varied diet with an abundance of fruits and vegetables, a source of vitamins and antioxidants, and other foods such as fatty fish, extra virgin olive oil, legumes, lean meat or Eggs. Limit your intake of sugars and ultra-processed foods.
managing stress
Stress is a factor that can cause hair loss and can also affect the eyelashes. So avoid stress as much as possible, combat it with techniques such as meditation or yoga, and lead a healthy lifestyle, in which exercise and contact with nature are not lacking.
