Knowing the “why” is always a healthy and logical place to start in any type of problem solving. And, while we all can admit that having brittle, tired eyelashes, slow to grow and quick to fall out, probably isn’t the biggest issue in our life, on Tuesday morning before the big interview or Saturday night before the party, it’s a problem!

Here are just a few reasons for more-than-normal eyelash loss.

• Leaving eye makeup on too long can cause your natural eyelashes to say “bye bye” quicker than normal.
• Stress can play a role in the loss of eyelashes.
• Simply rubbing your eyes too hard for too long will almost ensure that a few of those little beauties will make their exit prematurely.
• Clogged oil glands in the eyes near the base of the lashes can cause inflammation and subsequently, problems in the eyelash follicles.

As is the case with just about anything in our life, the more we care for it, the better our chances of a healthy outcome, and it’s no different with lash care! The good news is that little attention can go a long way towards the care of our natural eyelashes.

Remember, the goal is the care and nurture of our natural eyelashes. We want to establish a solid base before we think about eyelash extension care. While Lash Pilot does offer what we call a Lash Wellness Passport Program, how about we start with some simple lash care practices and procedures you can implement on your own!

• To start, and this may seem way too obvious, but who of us hasn’t been guilty of not washing our face and eyelids every single day. Gently, with soap and water. Seem basic? You’re right, it is. Again, be gentle.
• Use oils on your eyelashes – start with olive oil. While there isn’t research to support that olive oil as part of your lash care routine will grow record-breaking, award-winning natural eyelashes, olive oil does contain several types of fatty acids that have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties that help condition the lashes and promote a healthy lash base. Coconut oil is another natural oil you may want to try. You can speak to a certified lash technician at Lash Pilot to learn more.
• Remove your makeup more often, and when you do, do it gently. Leaving makeup on for days will only cause your natural eyelashes to become more hardened and brittle, increasing the chance that they’re headed for an early exit.
• Consider vitamin supplements for healthy lash care. This tip comes with added benefits, because vitamin supplements such as Vitamin B-3, Vitamin C and Vitamin E are great to take for more reasons than just those
  beautiful natural eyelashes.
• Brush your lashes regularly! Come on, you loved watching your grandmother do it as a kid. Gentle brushing just a few times a day helps distribute the natural oils found on your lashes more evenly.
• Drink green tea. First of all, it tastes good. Second, as with vitamin supplements, the health advantages of organic green tea would fill a list far too long for this website. But, organic green tea has been known to help promote hair growth.
