What to do if eyelashes fall out

Eyelashes last for centuries for about 85 days, then their full renewal begins, which lasts 6 weeks. During this time, you will lose cilia one after another, so do not worry. You need to sound the alarm if you notice that they become rare and fall out with abnormal speed.

Possible causes of eyelash loss:

• poor-quality or expired cosmetics;
• improper care with folk remedies;
• allergy;
• inflammation of the skin around the eyes;
• sharp suppression of immunity with antibiotics;
• unbalanced diet.

If you did not find possible causes of eyelash loss in the above reasons, consult your doctor. In most cases, this phenomenon may be a sign of a number of diseases, the therapist will say for sure.

Eyelashes are made of keratin, so it is important to enrich them with this component. Include parsley, rosehip tincture, and fresh bell pepper in your daily diet. Simple manipulations will strengthen eyelashes and prevent them from falling out.

Use makeup that suits you. Proper mascara does not pinch your eyes and does not cause itching. Refuse such a remedy and replace it with a softer, sparing.

Do not rub your eyes, so you will cause eyelash loss even more. Always use sunglasses, the UV filter saves eyelashes and prevents their premature death.

Review food, exclude sweet and flour. These products prevent the absorption of vitamins and minerals, which are necessary for the full growth of hair and, of course, eyelashes. Eat more meat, vegetables and fruits, dairy products and cereals.

Make eyelashes longer: myth or reality

Those who say that natural eyelashes can be lengthened are deeply mistaken. Yes, you can grow them or use mascara with an lengthening effect, but in other cases the geneticist will not allow it. There is a certain period during which the eyelashes grow, then you can not do anything. The use of folk remedies can increase the density and make the color more saturated and "lively", but not lengthen.

Progress does not stand still, specialists have developed an operation for eyelash transplantation. As a rule, plastic surgeons resort to it, who restore the human face after suffering burns or other injuries that do not imply a natural growth of eyelashes. The operation lasts 4 hours, during this time a skilled doctor takes hair from the temporal region and transplantes it onto a moving eyelid.After the procedure, eyelashes begin to grow like ordinary hair on the head, which you need to care for and cut.

It is clear when people go for radical methods because they have no options. But there are fashionistas who intentionally do implantation of hair into the zone of the eyelashes, wanting to lengthen them. The procedure requires careful care, it is difficult to independently cut the hairs in the eyes and do it evenly.
