Falling eyelashes can be a serious problem, not just an opportunity to make a wish. Wondering why do eyelashes fall out? Discover the causes and the ways to stop it.
Losing hair all over your body is normal, including your
eyelashes, and it shouldn’t be a cause for concern. In most cases,
new hair and new eyelashes will grow back from the existing hair
follicles. The cause of excessive eyelash loss may be as simple as
the type of mascara you are using. Other causes, such as medical
conditions, are more complex.
Causes for Falling Eyelashes
If you are not dealing with loss of hair, but your eyelashes are
falling out, then you may have an allergy to your cosmetic
products: switch to hypoallergenic products instead. Another
problem may be waterproof mascara: it takes more effort to remove
this type of mascara, which makes your eyelashes fall out.
Stress, nutritional deficiencies and hypothyroidism are
other causes of eyelashes falling out. Other reasons for eyelash
loss include aging, excessive eye-rubbing due to allergies, hormone
imbalances and chemotherapy treatment. Consult a healthcare
professional for an accurate diagnosis.
Tip 1
Sleeping with makeup on irritates your skin, and you're more prone
to eyelashes falling out. Remove your mascara every night using a
gentle makeup remover, specifically designed for removing eye
makeup, such as ORLANE Gentle Eye Makeup Remover or Vichy Purete Thermale Soothing Eye Makeup
Remover, both highly effective, yet gentle eye makeup removers.
Apply the makeup remover to your eyelashes using a cotton ball to
wash the mascara away. This will help solve the problems caused by
eyelashes falling out.
Tip 2
Apply an eyelash conditioner after removing your mascara each
night. We recommend RevitaLash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner - designed to
both beautify and nourish the eyelashes -, or ZINO
Eyelash Enhancing Serum - rich in active follicles and natural
ingredients that can penetrate into your eyelash and effectively
stimulate its growth within 14 days.
Tip 3
Don't overdo it with your eyelash curler. If you must curl, try not
to hold your eyelash curler so tightly over your eyelashes. Ten to
20 seconds is usually fine, but any longer you're risking damaged
lashes. The curler is a big reason why eyelashes fall out, so try
to avoid it altogether.
Tip 4
Avoid using old makeup products and always keep tabs on how long
you’ve had your beauty products, particularly your eye makeup.
