Long and thick eyelashes in a girl are a reason for envy of other representatives of the fair sex and a reason for admiration for men. And we are not talking about extended eyelashes, but about natural ones, which, unfortunately, are not given to every girl.
Therefore, eyelash strengthening products should be in the cosmetic bag of every self-caring girl. Moreover, they can be not only from the category of "professional", but also ordinary pharmacy or even folk.
And what means for strengthening eyelashes, according to customer reviews, are the most worthy, we will consider further.
Causes of eyelash loss
Loss of eyelashes, singly or even in bunches, mainly depends on the internal state of the body. The lack of vitamins, micro and macro elements is reflected primarily in the external state. Therefore, it is so important to ensure that the diet is balanced.
But this is far from the only reason. To provoke the loss of eyelashes can:
- regular use of mascara;
- poor qualityremoving makeup from the eyes at night;
- use of low-quality make-up remover;
- regular use of curling irons;
- frequent artificial eyelash extensions;
- bad environment;
- malnutrition;
- hormonal disruptions;
- frequent depression and stress;
- weakening of the body after a recent birth;
- a disease like hypotrichosis.
Therefore, before you run out to buy a good eyelash enhancer, you should take care of your he alth. After all, no matter how effective the remedy is, without internal treatment of the body, the effect of it will not be long.
You should also consider age. The older the woman, the rarer and paler the eyelashes become. This is mainly due to the exhaustion of the body, with hormonal imbalance and other age-related changes.
