Here are a few tips that will help you in preventing eyelash fall and grow thick and long lashes:
Moisturise
Just like your hair needs to be oiled from time to time to get its share of nourishment, it is important for your eyelashes also to get moisturised from time to time. Take a few drops of olive or castor oil and apply them on your lashes. This will help your lashes grow faster and will also make them thicker.
Don't Settle For Just Any Mascara
Your falling eyelashes could be a result of a poor quality of mascara. Select a herbal mascara or one that contains vitamins and minerals. You might have to shell out a little extra but it is always advisable to buy a mascara that is rich in vitamins. It helps in making your eyelashes thick and prevents them from falling.
Remove Makeup Every Night
Even a trace of kohl in your eyes can be the reason of your eyelash fall. Remove your eye makeup religiously before retiring every night. Use a petroleum jelly to get rid of any traces of liner, mascara and kohl from your eyes.
Avoid Using Old Makeup Products
Do not use products that have crossed their expiry date as some of the products become host to bacteria, causing serious skin troubles. Replace your makeup every six months.
