To make your eyelashes look healthy, grow faster, and be thicker, you can also use several other methods. When choosing one or another type of exposure, it is necessary to take into account exactly the problem that worries most, since the same method is unable to cope with all the features of problem eyelashes.

If there are no serious problems associated with fragility and loss of cilia, but you just want to visually increase the volume or length, then decorative mascara will come to the rescue. Makeup manufacturers offer a huge selection of different mascaras. If you need to increase the length of short eyelashes, you need to choose an extension mascara. If the eyelashes are very thin, you should pay attention to the voluminous mascara.

You need to apply mascara using several rules:

• before applying eyelashes, degrease with cleansing foam or micellar water;
• apply mascara at the end of the eye makeup process, only after applying eye shadow or eyeliner;
• first, they paint the eyelashes located on the upper eyelid, then on the lower;
• so that the eyelashes do not look overloaded, the number of layers of mascara applied to the lower eyelid should be 1 less than the upper one.

At the final stage of applying mascara, you can apply special serum. It will help the mascara dry faster and prevent shedding.

You can make your eyelashes healthier if you resort to traditional medicine. Home care ingredients can be purchased at any pharmacy.

The most common options include:

• lotions with herbal infusion;
• a mixture of castor oil and vitamins A and E.

An infusion of medicinal herbs such as chamomile, sage, and plantain will be good nutrition for both the hairs and the skin around the eyes. For the preparation of the infusion, it is best to use the pharmacy collection of medicinal plants. For a decoction, you can take each type of plant separately, or by mixing them in equal proportions:

• it is necessary to pour leaves in the container in the amount of 2 tablespoons and pour 100 ml of hot water;
• wait until the infusion has cooled to room temperature;
• moisten a cotton pad in the solution, squeeze out slightly and apply to the eyelid and eyelashes;
• stand for 20 minutes, then remove the cotton pad.

The procedure must be performed for 10-14 days. Then take a break for 7 days... Adhering to a similar scheme, you need to make lotions for 2-3 months. Such care will help to restore shine to the eyelashes, and to give the skin of the eyelids elasticity.

Castor oil will help give your lashes extra firmness, shine and volume. The recipe for making such a mixture yourself is quite simple.

• In a container, mix castor oil and the contents of 1 capsule of each vitamin.

Apply the resulting mixture, leave to act for at least 30 minutes. Then remove the remnants of the product with a dry cloth. Only pre-cleaned eyelashes can be smeared with this composition. The procedure is best done before bedtime, as the product is completely absorbed overnight, and the effect will be stronger.... It will be more convenient to apply with a brush from mascara, which must be thoroughly washed with water and soap.

An equally effective way to increase the growth and length of eyelashes can be a massage of the skin around the eyes. It stimulates hair follicles, which has a positive effect on hair growth. Massage must be performed adhering to the following rules:

• before manipulation, lubricate the eyelids with a non-greasy cream;
• massage of the upper eyelids is performed using patting movements;
• the lower eyelids need to be massaged in a circular motion;
• after the procedure, you must apply a moisturizer.

During massage, do not allow intense pressure and prolonged exposure to the skin. The maximum time for 1 session should not exceed 5 minutes.

If you do not want to engage in the preparation of strengthening agents, you can resort to a trip to a beauty salon. All procedures are painless and safe for health, and the desired result will be achieved after the first visit. Beauty salons offer a whole range of eyelash care.

• Lamination. It is a curling of the hairs on the eyelids from the roots with the simultaneous application of a keratin-containing emulsion and coloring. After such exposure, the eyelashes look lush, voluminous and more black. The effect lasts for 2-3 months.
• Botox treatment. It is carried out in the same way as lamination, but the active composition penetrates deeper into the hair, due to which the effect of the exposure persists for a period of more than 4 months.
• Build-up. It involves attaching bundles of artificial cilia to the base of your own eyelashes. This procedure provides the most attractive appearance of the cilia. Fake strands look natural. Post-build mascara is not required. But the effect is short-lived; frequent correction is required.

When choosing one or another type of salon care, you need to take into account the purpose for which the manipulation will be carried out. If an increase in eyelashes is needed for 1-2 outputs, then you can resort to extension. If it is supposed to preserve the effect for a longer time, then lamination or the use of Botox is suitable. But regardless of the type of exposure, for the procedure, you should contact only a trusted, responsible master.

During the use of both salon and home care for the restoration and treatment of eyelashes, it is necessary to abandon the application of decorative mascara. And in order to maintain elasticity, shine, prevent loss and fragility of eyelashes, you must:

• at the end of each day, remove makeup with a special product;
• do not use soap or shampoo to wash your eyes, use only special eye makeup removers;
• give eyelashes 1-2 days a week for "rest", doing these days without applying mascara;
• when rinsing mascara, avoid rubbing or using rigid sponges;
• use only high-quality mascara from trusted manufacturers.
