Today, facial care has become a multi-step beauty ritual that allows not only to slow down aging, but also to partially abandon cosmetics. At the same time, by paying a lot of attention to the skin, we often forget the eyelashes: and day after day we stress them, by using mascara incorrectly or by favoring extensions. In this guide, we’ve rounded up up-to-date tips for restoring eyelashes – and asked some exciting makeup and grooming questions from a dermatologist.
Many women feel more attractive and confident when wearing makeup, especially mascara, which instantly makes the look more expressive and seductive. In recent years, eyelash extensions have become very popular, which gives girls the opportunity to choose any shape, density and length themselves. However, this procedure is often accompanied by irritation and allergic reactions. Many are then faced with loss, frailty, thinning and similar issues.
New day, new danger
Many girls are proud not to have extensions, thus not compromising the natural beauty of their eyelashes. But in fact, many factors in our daily routine contribute to the injury of eyelashes: from careless sleep with the face in the pillow to overactive makeup removal.

Affects the quality of eyelashes and the regular use of mascara. Of course, it all depends on its composition. But no less – from compliance with the rules of use.
You make mistakes if:
-
You are applying too many coats of mascara. This weighs down the eyelashes and causes them to become fragile and fall out.
-
Make up your eyes throughout the day.Applying a new coat of mascara over dry coats can increase stress on the lash roots and subsequently — hurt them.
-
Use an eyelash curler. Even if you curl your eyelashes, following the clear rules of the procedure, each time the tweezers damage the delicate hairs and make them weaker and more brittle.
-
You’ve been using the same mascara for a long time. After the expiration date of the opened carcass, some ingredients can cause harm, for example cause an allergic reaction. So try to change your mascara every 3-4 months. Or be guided by the individual storage conditions indicated on the tube.
The other side of home care
When it comes to eyelash care, many remember the existence of castor oil, a legendary beauty ingredient from the past, with which hair, eyebrows and eyelashes were once cared for.
Of course, castor oil and any other oil is better than nothing. However, in addition to the well-known advantages, this ingredient has serious drawbacks: a high probability of morning swelling of the eyelids, eye irritation and allergic reactions. Also, in their pure form, oils are not able to heal and transform eyelashes. They affect softness and shine, but you shouldn’t expect to speed up growth or strengthen hair from the oils.
How to understand what your eyelashes need: we select the right care
When starting the resuscitation of damaged eyelashes, we must not forget that our general state of health has an impact on our appearance.

At the same time, according to the expert, even the common cosmetic ingredients in the composition of the products that we use in daily care have a negative effect on the eyelashes.
“The delicate skin of the eyelids and eyelashes can be damaged by acids, retinol and tonics that contain a large amount of alcohol in their composition. It is better not to apply funds with such components near the ciliary edge “, explains the dermatologist.
Here you can immediately remember about mascara and the likelihood of a negative effect of the formula of this product on the hair. Don’t refuse this eye makeup product, just choose a beneficial mascara with a restorative effect.
Recently, such a tool appeared in the assortment of the Spanish brand Sesderma. This well-known dermatological brand from Valencia had previously specialized in the development and production of skin care cosmetics – and launched a few years ago eyelash and eyebrow growth serum-activator – Seslash, which contains the growth factor follistatin and peptides, extracts of mulberry and red clover. NOWThe range is completed by Seslash Black mascara – for an expressive look and maximum eyelash regeneration.

During this period, the beauty duo will provide comprehensive care: it will speed up recovery after unsuccessful beauty procedures and help to grow new, long and healthy eyelashes faster, while strengthening and protecting the entire row of eyelashes.
What else will help improve eyelashes: 3 good habits
It would be useful to emphasize this important point once again: the condition of the eyelashes is affected not only by how and with what we paint, but also by how we feel and what we do throughout the day. So try to reduce the lateral trauma of the eyelashes, as well as replenish the balance of nutrients.
Don’t sleep with your face in the pillow
The right sleeping position is the key to a youthful and beautiful face. When the face is in prolonged contact with the pillow and in an anatomically incorrect way, folds appear on the skin. It also affects eyelashes: this is often reminded by extension masters, because rubbing eyelashes against the pillow can cause their brittleness and loss, which will certainly affect the wearing time of extended eyelashes. They may start to break and fall off.
Gently rinse off makeup
Excessive eye make-up removal is no better than its absence. When we actively remove cosmetics from the eyelids, sometimes not only mascara particles and shadows remain on the cotton pad, but also eyelashes.
To prevent eyelashes from falling out during make-up removal, soak a cotton pad abundantly with micellar water or make-up remover milk and apply to the eye for a few seconds. During this time, the structure of cosmetics will have time to change and become more flexible for smooth removal from the skin.
Ideally, the eye makeup remover should use products specifically designed for this area. For example, Sesderma Sensyses liposomal eye makeup remover contains panthenol, chamomile extract, aloe vera and other anti-inflammatory ingredients that soothe skin and quickly relieve irritation.
Eat more healthy foods
Foods rich in B vitamins will help increase the production of keratin, the main building protein for hair, nails and eyelashes. These ingredients include eggs, meat, milk and dairy products, as well as buckwheat, legumes, seeds and nuts.
In addition, it is worth including foods rich in sulfur in the diet: for example, raspberries, cabbage, onions and cheese. Sulfur stimulates the production of collagen and keratin in the body, which means it indirectly helps strengthen eyelashes.
Also, do not forget about the consumption of healthy fats: in the form of vegetable oils, nuts, fish and seafood. Unsaturated fats have a special effect on the female body, as well as on the processes of regeneration and of aging.
And do not forget that the health of the eyelashes is important not only for their beauty, but also to protect the eyes from dust, wind and other external factors.
