Many individuals wear mascara to create the look of longer, thicker lashes, though doing this all the time may be counter-productive. Mascara stiffens the lashes, making them easier to bend and break. If individuals do not take off their makeup at night, their eyelashes can crunch against the pillow and fall off. The same can happen with eyelash extensions or fake lashes. If they are too heavy, the pressure can cause an individual's natural lashes to break. Taking a break from mascara and fake lashes can be beneficial as it will allow the natural lashes time to grow strong. In the future, individuals should be able to wear mascara again without so much damage, provided they occasionally take a break from it.

Massage Eyelids

Massage will stimulate blood flow to bring nutrients to the skin as well as stimulating the hair follicles. Before an individual begins the massage, they should dampen a clean washcloth with warm water, ring it out, and place it over their eyes for about ten minutes. The skin of the eyelids is very fragile, and rough pressure to the area can cause wrinkles. So to massage the eyelids, individuals should lightly apply pressure with their ring finger. This is the weakest finger and should always be the one individuals use when touching their eyes. They should massage the eyelid in a circular motion, including the lash line, for about five to ten minutes each day.
