Oh! EYE can see you!!

How to Stop Loss of Eyelashes

{Avoid waterproof mascaras}
Waterproof mascaras can be very difficult to remove, frequently requiring lots of rubbing and tugging on the lashes. This can cause loss of eyelashes. Switch to a lighter mascara that's not waterproof and be gentle when you remove your eye makeup. Soak a cotton ball in baby oil or eye makeup remover and gently go over the lashes without pulling or tugging on the hair shaft. Removing eye makeup after a hot shower can make the job easier and less stressful on the lashes.


{Change the way you apply your eye makeup}
If you're using an eyelash curler, you may want to discontinue this practice. An eyelash curler used regularly can add additional stress to your eyelashes causing them to thin out. Go lighter on your applications of mascara and avoid rubbing your eyes when you're wearing it. Always remove mascara without tugging or pulling on your lashes before going to bed. Heavy coats of mascara left on overnight can contribute to eyelash loss.

{Rule out allergies to your eye makeup}
Sometimes loss of eyelashes can be due to an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in your makeup. Have you recently switched to a new brand? If so, you may want to eliminate that product and see if your symptoms improve. You can also try changing to hypoallergenic eye makeup products to see if this solves the problem.


Individual eyelashes fall out all the time. People who wear contact lenses know this fact all too well. Eyelashes take about four to eight weeks to grow back. These tiny hairs (with help from their cousins to the north) protect your eyes from dust and sweat -- you'd definitely notice a difference if you were to lose them.

All human hairs go through three stages during their growth and development. One stage is anagen. This is the active, growing phase. For eyelashes, this phase lasts 30 to 45 days. Eyelashes are short because this phase is far shorter than the 2 to 6 year growth phase of scalp hairs. During this phase, the hair will keep growing and will not fall out unless pulled, plucked or otherwise forced out.

So, if you see that your eyelashes ARE NOT growing back, the end result could be serious. See your opthamologist!!! O_o
