Cleaning eyelashes
One of the basics of proper eyelash care is the proper cleaning process. This is done by regularly washing the face well before going to bed every night, making sure to use the recommended types of soap that are suitable for use in the eye area. You can also use a sponge and baby oil to clean the eyelashes of dirt and dust.
Proper nutrition
Eyelashes need proper nutrition to ensure their growth, length and strength. Like hair, they need vitamins and minerals in good proportions. One must be careful to eat fresh vegetables and fruits, and include lean protein in the daily diet, in addition to whole grains.
Avoid false eyelashes
Although false or fake eyelashes increase the volume and length of eyelashes without the need for makeup, this may pose a danger to real eyelashes. This is as a result of the use of adhesive glue made of chemical substances that cause damage to the hair follicles in the eyelid area, in addition to the fact that the adhesive may cause the real eyelashes to be plucked when removing false eyelashes, so it is recommended to resort to more natural means to increase the density of the eyelashes and lengthen them.
