You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old ~George Burns

Time does things to us as the years pass. Our bodies change just like they did when we went through puberty. These changes are inevitable, but you don’t have to sit back and just let them happen.

One of the many things I noticed as I grew older was I didn’t have long eyelashes anymore.

Eyelashes are more than eye fringe. They help to protect our eyes from dust and debris that can obstruct vision or cause injury. They act as a filter and help reduce tear evaporation which keeps eyes lubricated.

The good news is that there are steps you can take to curb eyelash loss and have long, thicker lashes again!

Causes of Thinning Lashes

Like the hair on our heads, eyelashes are naturally lost and grown back out again in a cycle every 6 to 10 weeks. In fact, it’s actually normal to lose 1-5 eyelashes every day!

When we age, we stop producing certain hormones which can affect lash regrowth. These hormone deficiencies can cause thinner eyebrows and hair as well.

When you wake in the morning, do you rub your eyes? This could cause lashes to fall out.

Using and removing eyelash extensions and using an eyelash curler could also speed up shedding of the lashes.

However, eyelashes can grow back! And you can make a few small changes to help that process along.

Tip #2: Eat Right

One 2018 study among dermatologists showed that a diet low in protein can lead to great skin fragility in older patients.

Snack on nuts and seeds that are high in protein. These would include almonds, pistachios, or pumpkin seeds.

Experts also suggest eating a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, wild-caught freshwater fish like trout and catfish, legumes such as chickpeas (garbanzo beans), lentils, or pinto beans.

Change Your Diet.

Believe it or not, a change in diet could help! Eat foods that are high in vitamin A and C. These are found richly in berries and avocados.

Eating a protein-rich diet helps your body produce keratin that can keep eyelashes healthy and strong.

Biotin also promotes the production of keratin, so look for foods like cauliflower, broccoli, and nuts to help.

Niacin (Vitamin B-3) helps to improve blood flow to hair follicles thus stimulating growth. Foods rich in niacin include chicken, fish, beef, and green peas.

Be Kind to Your Lashes!

Never sleep in your makeup. Always remove it before you go to bed. Most people toss and turn at least a little bit in the night. Leaving mascara on and rubbing your face on the pillow can speed up the process of lash loss.

Remove your makeup gently. Rubbing and tugging at your lashes, especially when they are coated with mascara, can cause them to fall out.

Eyelashes coated with mascara are more brittle and prone to breakage.

Use a gentle makeup remover and a soft touch to get the mascara off. Probably the kindest move you can make for your lashes is to lose the eyelash curler.

These little devices, that most men don’t even understand, can cause tugging on the lashes. This can damage the hair follicles making regrowth more difficult.
