It is very important to carefully care for the hairs in order to avoid their fragility and loss.

This applies to the correct choice and use of decorative cosmetics, and to the selection of health-improving products. But before moving on to care recommendations, it is necessary to understand the meaning of eyelashes and their role in the body as a whole.

Despite all the beauty, the main function of eyelashes is to protect the eyes from the aggressive effects of the environment. They, like eyebrows, prevent dust, small specks and foreign particles from entering the eyes. There are about 200 hairs on the upper eyelid, and half as many hairs in the lower eyelid. Due to their quantity, they become an obstacle through which dirt cannot enter the eyeball.

In addition, cilia also perform aesthetic functions, they make the eye framed, due to the direction of hair growth, it visually increases and thanks to this the look becomes lively and expressive. For this reason, most women tend to take care of their eyelashes. In addition to the basic daily self-care procedures, they pay considerable attention to special means, including folk ones, that promote the growth of hairs on the eyelids.

Today, there are many options for caring for eyelashes. These methods start from a trip to the sea and end with the use of various useful balms. However, before moving on to hair care methods, we note that the key point is the regularity of hygiene procedures.

After simple daily actions for caring for the face in general and the eye area in particular have become the rule, you can move on to complex methods that include the use of various means, both cosmetic and folk. These recommendations will also be useful for those who are just looking to expand their arsenal of knowledge about caring for the area around the eyes. Following the advice, girls will be able to achieve strengthening and splendor of eyelashes in just a matter of weeks.

Especially popular is the use of compresses and masks, which include the medicinal plant amla. Proper use of these tools can tidy up the condition of the cilia.

It is also worth turning to a healthy diet, which will most positively affect the process of hair growth.

Now the beauty market offers the widest range of eyelash care products that will help at home to improve their health in general, as well as strengthen them and promote hair growth. Among these funds there are cosmetic products, and folk recipes aimed at treating cilia.

For example, a well-known antioxidant called Refectocildesigned to strengthen eyelashes. The drug has gained wide popularity among women, because it has a pleasant texture and guarantees results - after a couple of uses of this remedy, many girls noted the strengthening of hairs and their density. This is possible due to the fact that the composition includes extracts of aloe and natural oils. They contribute to the rapid growth and healing of eyelashes. To achieve a similar effect, the product should be used before bedtime to minimize contact of the eye area with the external aggressive environment.

Another effective drug is the well-known balm "Mirra Lux". As part of this cosmetic product, you can find a lot of essential oils - ylang-ylang, damask rose, jasmine and grapes. Thanks to these ingredients, Mirra Lux promotes the rapid growth of eyelashes. The balm gives them a rich intense color and prevents hair loss. It's nice that this tool is absolutely hypoallergenic.

Company diademine also offers several eyelash care products. They are good because they are created by leading professionals in the field of cosmetology, who have developed a special innovative formula.It meets modern beauty requirements and is distinguished by its natural composition. In a short time, the product will have a positive effect on the eyelashes, they will become longer and thicker.

Wax-based cosmetics are an excellent assistant in healing procedures. These compounds are applied to the eyelashes at night in order to nourish them, restore structure and stimulate growth. This is made possible thanks to ingredients such as D-panthenol and provitamin B5, which promote cell regeneration and have a beneficial effect on the growth of cilia. Interestingly, such cosmetics are also effective for eyebrows, which can be fixed with this remedy during the day. Some firms, for example,Art Visage, produce entire lines of similar products that act as an excellent alternative to vegetable and essential oils.

An effective eyelash care product is, oddly enough, petrolatum. It softens, moisturizes and strengthens the roots of hairs, in connection with this, their growth is stimulated. This miraculous preparation provides an impressive result, and within a short period of time, girls get viable and healthy eyelashes.

To achieve this result, it is only necessary to apply Vaseline correctly using the most common household items, such as cotton swabs and discs, eyelash brushes. The effectiveness of the action depends on the correct implementation of the following tips:

• First, wash your hands and prepare all the necessary items, then collect a small amount of Vaseline on a cotton swab and walk it along the top of the eyelashes. In the event that you do this with your fingertips, be as careful as possible so as not to damage the base of the cilia. Do this with massaging movements to relax the skin of the eyelids.
• However, it is important here not to overdo it with the amount of product, you need to comb the hairs to get rid of the sticky clots that have appeared.
• Do the same for the lower lashes. It is necessary to ensure that they do not stick to the lower eyelid, so you need to apply a small amount of the product.

• The procedure should be done at night, since Vaseline has a cumulative effect and the longer it lasts, the stronger the effect will be.
• Since the product is quite sticky, it is very difficult to remove. To do this, soak cotton swabs in cold water, and then apply to your eyes for 5-10 minutes to dissolve the petroleum jelly.
• This product will be especially effective in cases where the eyelashes are very fluffy. Applying Vaseline, women will achieve a healthy shine, a clear line of eyelashes.

Many girls, in addition to the described cosmetics, use some masks and hair care balms as healing products. They are guided by the following principle: if eyelashes are the same hair, why not try. However, this is a serious mistake, because the hair on the head and eyelashes are fundamentally different from each other both in their structure and in their functions. Of course, using masks and balms to strengthen the hair in relation to the cilia will not be worse, but a stunning effect should not be expected.Instead, it is better to make a special mask for the skin around the eyes and eyelashes with your own hands.

One of the most effective means is a mixture of any vegetable oil with parsley and aloe vera juice. You need to chop the greens, pour it into a deep bowl, add a couple of tablespoons of oil (ideally unrefined olive oil, but regular sunflower oil is also suitable), squeeze juice from aloe or add ready-made. The result is a thick consistency that must be applied to the eyelashes and eyelids with rubbing movements. After that, cover the mask with a cotton swab and lie down for 15-20 minutes. After this time, the mixture must be carefully removed with a special soft disk or gauze, and the remnants removed with a cotton swab or washed off with warm, but not hot water.

Herbs have a positive and sometimes healing effect on the health of hair and eyelashes, so it is worth using decoctions of chamomile, sage, green teawhich are easy and quick to brew. Soak cotton pads in these infusions and put them on your eyes for 10-15 minutes. There is only one caveat: it is important to withstand the temperature regime so as not to burn your eyes - cool the liquid to body temperature so that it is pleasant to the skin.

Another indispensable assistant in hair care are vegetable oils, the most effective - burdock. It helps to take care of the problem area due to the presence of nutrients. If you combine burdock oil with a solution or mixture of vitamins A and E, this will be the best composition for restoring thinned and hospital cilia.This balm should be applied with a special eyelash brush in the evening and after waking up. The more often this solution is used, the sooner a positive result will come in the form of strengthened and fluffy cilia. It is necessary to carefully apply oil or solution to the eye area with a cotton swab, then wait about an hour, and then rinse this product with warm water.

Instead of burdock oil, others can be used, for example, castor, grape or olive unrefined. Thanks to these tools, in a short time, you can significantly improve the condition of the eyelashes.

You can maintain their health on your own at home, using folk remedies that have a beneficial effect on the growth and condition of the hairs.

Speaking about how to properly care for such a delicate area as eyelashes and eyebrows, one cannot help but turn to professional stylists for recommendations. The remedies will be especially effective in cases where the health of the eyelashes is undermined and they break, fall out and fade. However, first you need to understand what, according to makeup artists, is the cause of poor eyelash health:

• Use of low-quality cosmetic products that contain some dangerous substances, such as parabens or propylene glycol. These ingredients can adversely affect health and cause harm in the form of falling eyelashes and severe allergic reactions.Experts advise buying only high-quality cosmetics, but at the same time remember that quality is not always due to cost. The main thing is to carefully read the composition and purchase only those products that contain natural elements and “pure” substances, as well as keratin, lanonin, vitamins A, B5 and E. They will help nourish the eyelashes and protect them from the aggressive influence of external factors.
• Inattention to eye diseases or allergies, which affect not only health, but also the appearance of eyelashes. Often with such problems, they fall out and break. This cannot be ignored, so it is necessary to properly care for the problem area.

Remember that it is absolutely not allowed to go to bed with makeup - it just needs to be removed from the face. To do this, use a special milk, micellar water or a special make-up remover lotion. There are products that are used separately for the face and for the eyes. Apply the latter on a cotton pad and apply it to the eyelids for 10-15 seconds, then wipe them with horizontal movements in the direction from the nose to the temples. It is necessary to remove the mascara with gentle movements, but do not rub the eyelids in any way, otherwise it threatens with the imminent appearance of microcracks at the base of the eyelashes. This will cause them to fall out.

If the hairs are thin and weakened, then you need to use healing mascara, which is hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive eyes, and also nourishes the hairs with vitamins and strengthens their roots. This is especially true for girls prone to allergies. It is recommended to use only waterproof products, as they will not crumble and get into the eyes, and this is one of the causes of irritation.

In this regard, it is better to change cosmetics more often, for example, once every three months.

You can’t dye your eyelashes every day, it’s better to give them a rest, leaving them without mascara as often as possible. If you do not follow this rule, the hairs will become dull and thin due to the constant exposure to chemicals contained in cosmetic products.

In the summer, you need to keep your hair healthy by protecting it from dangerous ultraviolet light, so be sure to wear sunglasses.

Use various cosmetic health products and homemade recipes. Among makeup artists, a balm made from glycerin, cognac and burdock oil is especially popular. Mix 1 teaspoon of glycerin, a couple of drops of cognac and 5-7 drops of oil. Apply the prepared mixture to the eyelashes, but be careful not to get it in your eyes.

Products such as fish oil are very helpful in caring not only for eyelashes, but also for hair in general. In just a couple of weeks of use, the first results appear in the form of voluminous hair and thick, fluffy cilia.

There is no such woman who would not take care of herself, including paying attention to eyelashes. That is why many ladies turn to various cosmetic and medical preparations to improve the condition of the eyelids and hairs on them. Girls note that fish oil has an almost miraculous effect on the growth of cilia, their density and fluffiness, and the effect appears within the first two weeks of use.However, negative associations arise with this product in the form of an unpleasant odor and consistency, but this is solved by purchasing fish oil in capsules. The most positive feedback received a tool from the company "Teva”, it comes in a shell that neutralizes the repulsive taste and smell.

Many people use products that every home has, and a burdock oil mask is considered especially effective among all. However, before proceeding with such procedures, you need to make sure that it does not cause allergies. To do this, apply the solution on the wrist or in the crook of the elbow, wait about 40 minutes. If this did not cause any irritation or redness, then you can use masks and infusions for such delicate areas as eyelids and eyelashes.

Judging by the reviews, the main key to a positive result is the regular use of healing products and the purchase of the right, high-quality cosmetics.
