TIPS FOR NATURAL, LONG EYELASHES

A common question arises, what natural steps can I take to have long eyelashes?

In addition to enhancing appearance, we must understand that eyelashes do serve a practical purpose.  These tiny hairs protect our eyes from foreign particles, thus for no other reason, we need to maintain our delicate eyelashes to promote proper eye care. Just as we need to make healthy lifestyle choices with diet and exercise, there are healthy eyelash care habits that will ensure our lashes have every chance of reaching their full length. There are also a number of things that give appearance of long eyelashes.

General Tips For Everyday Eyelash Care

• At days end, carefully clean your face including the eye area.
• Use cleansers specially recommended for eyes or even baby oil and clean the eyes gently with a sponge or cotton ball to remove dust, dirt and makeup.
• Avoid plucking or waxing the eyelash area.
• Never use soap on to clean your eyelashes.

Methods To Make Eyelashes Appear Longer

Eyelash curling:

• Curling eyelashes makes them seem longer and makes the eyes look brighter and larger.
• Clean the lashes before using an eyelash curler. Clamp the curler down firmly and close the base for about 5 seconds, then release it gently.
• Replace eyelash curlers every 2 – 3 months if used on a regular basis. This will reduce the possibility of infection and contamination.
• For additional impact, you can use a hair dryer under the curler but make sure that the hot air does not strain your eyelashes or burn your face.

Eyeliner:

• Applying the right color eyeliner on the outer rim of the eyelid makes the lashes seem longer.
• Never apply it on the inner part that touches the eye as the chemicals used may cause irritation.
• Use eyeliner sparingly.  A thin line as close as possible to the base of the lashes is adequate.

Mascara:

• The mascara wand should be cleaned with a tissue before applying mascara. This will avoid clumping and provide clear separation of the lashes.
• You can apply at least two coats of mascara for best results. The first coat should be completely dry before you apply the second.
• An eyelash comb on the final coat will give the necessary finishing touch. An eyelash comb removes excess makeup and clumps on the lashes and makes them look more defined.
• Use waterproof mascara to strengthen eyelashes.

Fake eyelashes:

Most users are grateful to stop using fake eyelashes or eyelash extensions, and are eager to use those dollars on other cosmetic products. However, for those who occasionally want to go for the unnatural shock and awe that only false eyelashes can create, here’s what you should know.

• Fake eyelashes may pull out your existing lashes upon removal.
• Make sure that you use good quality eyelash extensions and ensure that you are not allergic to the eyelashes.
• Remove your false eyelash and makeup daily.
• Fake eyelashes should be removed by dissolving the adhesive in baby oil or Vaseline, which also helps nourish the skin.

Dyeing eyelashes:

• In case you want to dye your eyelashes, contact a professional instead of trying it on your own.

Methods to Achieve Natural Eyelash Growth

Prescription Drugs:

• There are currently available certain prescription drugs originally intended  to treat various diseases, that have been retargeted to eyelash growth.  They typically contain prostaglandin or prostaglandin derivatives as the active eyelash growth ingredient but have several undesirable side effects.  The two most common are a change in eye color and discoloration of the skin.  These products require a doctor’s prescription, are quite costly and should only be used as directed.

Natural Eyelash Growth Products:

The ideal way to have longer eyelashes is to promote natural growth with a products like dúlash – Dual Acting Eyelash Gel.

• dúlash acts to promote eyelash growth and condition lashes at the same time.
• Use the eyeliner brush to apply a growth stimulating coat of dúlash directly to the edge of the eyelid at the root juncture
• Use the mascara brush to apply a conditioning coat of dúlash directly to the eyelashes themselves.
• dúlash can be used as a primer on eyelashes before applying makeup. It makes the tiny hairs look thicker and longer.
• dúlash not only gives the same benefit as primer, but actually grows long and thick eyelashes at the same time.
• Use dúlash – Dual Acting Eyelash Gel morning and night.  Once dúlash has dried, mascara or other daily makeup can be applied as normal.
• dúlash – Dual Acting Eyelash Gel is recommended to moisturize eyelashes and improves overall eyelash condition.

Summary

Making your eyelashes appear longer with makeup and other cosmetic products may be a quick solution to an age old problem.  However, having your own long, thick eyelashes naturally is the ultimate solution and the best way to achieve fabulous results is with dúlash – Dual Acting Eyelash Gel.
