These days, our eyelashes can take a beating! Especially with mascara, false eyelashes, extension glue, all kinds of make-up, make-up removers, pollution and other dust. Needless to say, our lashes endure a lot on a daily basis. Serums, lotions, day creams, masks… That’s how we treat our skin on a daily basis. The question I ask myself is this: Don’t our lashes deserve to be pampered too?
Eyelashes
In short, they have a protective function. They are designed to prevent dust and debris from entering the eye. There are around 80 eyelashes in four rows on the lower eyelid. The upper eyelid has between 90 and 160. What’s more, the eyelash itself is made up of a shaft, a root and a bulb. The bulb itself is connected to the blood vessels. The life cycle of an eyelash is 5 to 11 months. Healthy eyelashes can be around 12 mm long and slightly curved.
A few practical tips for the health of your eyelashes
- Use a small, suitable comb
- Moisturise them
- Choose a quality serum specially designed to care for your lashes
- Take breaks from make-up and false eyelashes
- Make sure you remove your eye make-up carefully
- Eat a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients.
Gentle make-up removal
There’s no need to use harsh products to get rid of your waterproof mascara. There are simple options available. Avene Gentle Eye Make-up Remover is a great option for gentle make-up removal.
Secondly, the organic make-up remover from the Avril brand provides gentle cleansing. DHC make-up removal oil removes impurities from eyelashes and eyelids, while respecting the skin’s hydrolipidic film.
Finally, the Palpebral make-up remover from the SVR laboratory is a micellar gel formulated for sensitive eyelids: it’s the ideal companion for eyelashes in need of love!
Evening skincare routine in slow beauty mode
Adopting the slow beauty mode means taking more responsible care of yourself. In short, slow beauty means choosing natural, environmentally-friendly products.
Jojoba oil for eyelashes
Jojoba oil is the product of choice for removing make-up. In fact, it’s used on a damp cotton pad, just like a traditional make-up remover.
This breaks down the mascara while respecting the skin barrier. What’s more, jojoba oil is non-comedogenic and rich in vitamins and antioxidants: A real treat for your skin and your lashes!
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is a must-have in your beauty kit. You can warm it in your hands and use it as a make-up remover. Just as you would with jojoba oil.
A real all-rounder, you can use it in the bathroom, as a moisturiser, cleanser, hair mask, or in the kitchen! But beware of acne-prone skin, as coconut oil can be comedogenic.
Sweet almond oil
Sweet almond oil is another option for removing make-up. Rich in vitamins and incredibly gentle, it cleanses and nourishes eyelashes at the same time.
Eat better
To eat better and keep your eyelashes healthy, it’s important to eat a balanced and varied diet. Eyelashes, like hair, are mainly made up of keratin, a protein that depends on the nutrients we give our bodies. Here are a few tips for improving your diet and, consequently, the quality of your eyelashes.
First of all, opt for good-quality proteins, which are essential for keratin synthesis. Animal protein sources, such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products, are rich in essential amino acids. Vegetarians and vegans can also find quality proteins in legumes, nuts and seeds, as well as in soya-based foods such as tofu.
Next, make sure you consume enough vitamins and minerals, which contribute to the growth and health of your eyelashes.
Vitamins A, C, E and the B group, as well as iron, zinc and selenium, are particularly beneficial. Colourful fruit and vegetables, pulses, nuts, seeds and wholegrain cereals are excellent sources of these nutrients.
Omega-3 fatty acids also play an important role in the health of your eyelashes, helping to form the lipid barrier that protects them and keeps them moisturised. Oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines are rich in omega-3s, as are flax seeds, chia seeds and walnuts.
Also remember to keep well hydrated by drinking water regularly, as hydration is essential for healthy skin and lashes. Green teas and herbal teas with no added sugar can also be a source of hydration and antioxidants that are good for your eyelashes. Finally, avoid processed foods rich in sugars, saturated fats and chemical additives, as these can affect the quality of your diet and, consequently, the health of your eyelashes. Choose fresh, minimally processed foods, and cook at home as much as possible to control the quality and composition of your meals.
