Damaged Eyelashes - What Can Be Done?

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at February 28th, 2023

Our eyelashes are foundational to facial beauty, and it is no surprise that people enhance them through extensions or dyes. But, as we all know, sometimes attempting to apply extensions or dying lashes at home can lead to damaged lashes that can take some time to heal. This article will discuss natural and professionally-assisted ways to bring damaged eyelashes back to a healthy state!

To Prevent Damaged Eyelashes Avoid Harsh Chemicals

One of the most common causes of damaged eyelashes is the misuse of harsh chemicals, such as those found in at-home dyes or adhesives. If you are experiencing lash damage, avoiding further use of such products, especially at-home solutions, is essential. Wait for the eyelashes to recover naturally, as chemical overuse may only worsen the situation.

Try Natural Remedies

Natural remedies can be an effective way to heal damaged eyelashes, and they can also help promote new eyelash growth. Some popular natural remedies include coconut oil, castor oil, and aloe vera gel. These remedies can be applied directly to the eyelashes, helping to nourish and guard them against further damage. Be sure to check the label of the oils to make sure they are okay to use around the eye area. Most light oils should be okay, but sensitivities can occur - this is why it's important to always check the label.

Use Mascara Sparingly

While mascara can help enhance the depth and contrast of your lashes, it is essential to use it sparingly if your eyelashes are damaged. The use of mascara can weigh down your lashes, making them more susceptible to breaking or falling out. Moreover, many mascaras contain harsh chemicals, which can cause further damage to already weakened lashes. If you need to use mascara, choose a gentle product designed to promote healthy lash growth.

Consult With a Lash Professional

If your eyelashes are damaged or natural remedies are not working, it may be time to consult a lash professional. You may need a keratin boost to help jumpstart the lash healing process! An experienced lash technician can help evaluate the extent of the damage and recommend a course of action. A professional technician will choose the safest products and techniques to protect your eyelashes and promote new growth.

Try Growth Serums

Growth serums are an excellent solution to heal damaged eyelashes. These serums contain vitamins and minerals that promote healthy lash growth, nourishing your lashes and restoring their natural beauty. Most growth serums are applied once a day, either in the morning or at night, and will show results within a few weeks. These serums are safe and can be used along with natural remedies to promote healthy growth. Please keep in mind, Not all serums are created equal. Some serums contain hormones that can cause unfavorable reactions such as eyelid discoloration, eye color changes, and allergic reactions. We recommend starting with a natural, gentle, and safe serum first.

Damaged Eyelashes - Patience is a Virtue!

It is essential to be patient when dealing with damaged eyelashes. While natural remedies and professional solutions can help, your lashes may take some time to heal completely. Avoid applying makeup or using any products that may further damage your lashes. Instead, focus on keeping good nutritional habits and improving your overall health; it will help promote healthy lash growth and expedite recovery. Damaged eyelashes can be frustrating and can take some time to heal. However, they can be restored to their natural beauty with the right care and attention.
