Lashing Out - Opt for Natural, Longer, Lush Lashes

January 28th, 2015 • Posted by Skinergize Skin Care • Permalink

Full, long and healthy eyelashes are all the rage today! From the early false eyelashes that were made of human hair woven through fine gauze for Hollywood movie stars, to store-bought false lashes, and now the salon applied eyelash extensions - the lash craze is here to stay. There is another method to enhance your natural eyelash appearance, but let's go through a quick lesson on eyelashes and their growth cycle. Eyelashes are hair, so treating your lashes as you would treat the hair on your head is no different. The hair growth cycle has three phases know as ACT. A for Anagen which is the growth phase. C for Catagen which is the falling out stage. T for Telogen which is the resting stage, such as the hair on your head or lash line. The scalp hair cycles range from 6 months to 7 years, and eyelash cycles have a much shorter range of 30-60 days. In other words, lashes grow out and turn over on average every 45-60 days. Treating your natural lashes with a lash conditioner such as Jane Iredale's Pure Lash, Lash Extender & Conditioner will prevent breakage while encouraging growth. Grande Naturals Grande Lash-MD is infused with amino acids, peptides, and vitamins to promote longer, fuller and thicker lashes within 4-6 weeks. Using both of these products as directed will encourage your own natural lashes to grow long and strong. These products can be used at home, without the need to return to salon appointments to replace fallen lash extensions at a very costly price. Store-bought false eyelashes applied with glue, can ruin your natural lashes over time, leaving you with little to no eyelashes. Conditioning your natural lashes in the comfort of your own home, not only saves you money and time, but will keep your eyelashes healthy, long and beautiful for years to come!
