Caring for your lashes
Not everyone is born perfect. While you might be blessed with some great features, there might be others that leave much to be desired. Long, lush eyelashes are feminine and something we have all lusted over at some point or the other. Either we sighed in resignation and moved on or we turned to our makeup arsenal with a vengeance. Well, not anymore. Read on to care about your lashes the way they should be:
MOISTURISE You moisturise your skin with lotions and creams to combat dryness. Your mane gets an oiling every now and then. What do you do to moisturise your eyelashes? In all probability, it hasn’t even struck you that lashes need to be pampered to prevent breakage and accelerate growth. Applying petroleum jelly or olive oil or castor oil or sweet almond oil is a great way to make them stronger. Either fill up an old bottle with a mixture of these oils or use only one with a clean mascara wand every night. You can also use your fingers to smooth them on your lashes. Just make sure you don’t tug.
HANDS OFF Rubbing your eyes when you wake up might be involuntary. But it does more harm than good. The skin around the eyes is delicate and is best left untouched, un-rubbed and un-tugged. Rubbing also tugs at your lashes leading to breakage. Also, curling your lashes every single day is an insane thing to do. You eyelashes will take a beating under so much stress. Use your curler only for special occasions.
FALSIES Blame the Kardashians for our obsession with falsies. Everyone wants pretty peepers. We have to admit that falsies really make your eyes pop and it can get a little addictive. After all, who wouldn’t want mesmerising lashes that fan their cheekbones? However, the glue that you use with your falsies may cause a reaction and lead your precious natural lashes to fall off. You might also lose lashes while trying to get those falsies off. Reserve falsies only for big events.
