Why do eyelashes fall out more easily as we age?
There are many reasons why eyelashes tend to fall out as we age, but the main reason is that the activity of the hair matrix cells that form the foundation for eyelash growth tends to decline. If you notice that your eyelashes are "shorter," "fewer," or "thinner" than they used to be, it is important to increase the activity of the hair matrix cells and prevent them from falling out before each individual eyelash has had a chance to fully grow.
In addition, age-related eyelash loss is only a small part of the cause of eyelash loss. In addition to these factors, there is a great possibility that daily eating habits, gestures, stress, sleep, and other factors may also be affecting eyelash growth.
Basic eyelash growth routine
1: Understand the eyelash hair cycle
Eyelashes, like hair, go through a period of re-growth. The cycle is shorter than that of hair, about 3 weeks to 4 months. During this one-month period, the cycle repeats in four stages: the growth phase (the beginning of eyelash growth), the regression phase (when eyelashes stop growing), and the resting phase (when hairs fall out and are ready for the next growth).
There are cases in which aging makes it easier for eyelashes to fall out, but there are also cases in which it is simply a cycle of eyelash loss, so it is important not to be overly sensitive. If you become more concerned about eyelash loss than usual, try to adopt an extra habit.
2: Apply an eyelash serum.
Eyelash serums contain beauty ingredients necessary to maintain healthy eyelashes. By applying these nutrients directly to the eyelash line, which cannot be obtained through normal diet, they more effectively support eyelash health. It is also important to apply a moisturizing eyelash serum because eyelashes are prone to dryness caused by cleansing and other factors.
3:Take keratin and zinc
Eyelashes, like hair, are composed mainly of keratin. Keratin is produced from ingredients high in protein and amino acids. It is good to actively consume eggs, natto, liver, beef, broccoli, etc. without bias. In addition to this, zinc, which is necessary for keratin production, is also important. Seafood such as oysters and sardines should also be taken in a well-balanced manner.
4:Massage the eye area with a hot towel
Modern people who work at a desk most of the time tend to overuse their eyes on a daily basis. This can have a negative impact on the growth of eyelashes due to poor blood circulation in the capillaries around the eyes. Try to make a conscious effort to rest your eyes with a hot towel at the end of the day or during breaks.
5: Prevent rubbing with point remover
Friction" hinders the growth of eyelashes. It goes without saying that rubbing your eyes due to hay fever or other allergies is a bad habit, but another habit that can cause friction without you even realizing it is cleansing. Especially for those who use water-proof eye makeup, it is easy for dirt to remain that cannot be removed by normal cleansing. Therefore, avoid excessive friction in an attempt to remove the dirt. If possible, use a point remover specifically designed for eye makeup.
Point removers remove makeup more smoothly than regular cleansers, so simply soak a cotton ball in the remover and apply it to the eye area to prevent excess friction .
6:Take a break from eye makeup
For those who wear makeup on a daily basis, we recommend that you consciously take a break from eye makeup.
No matter how careful you are with your makeup and cleansing, daily makeup application can cause friction, dryness, and dirt accumulation, as mentioned above. In particular, the skin around the eyes is extremely delicate compared to other skin types. It is said to be as thin as a sheet of tissue, so it tends to be vulnerable to friction. If possible, take a day off from wearing eye makeup once a week. It is also a good idea to remove makeup as soon as possible when you return home.
7: Review your eyelash curler.
Eyelash curlers are a direct approach to eyelashes. As you become accustomed to using it and it becomes familiar in your hands, you may apply pressure to your eyelashes without thinking about the amount of force you are using. Also, if you are using a buehler that does not fit the shape of your eyes, you may be using too much force without realizing it.
If the curler does not fit your eyelids or does not curl even after several tries, it is important to review the curler itself. Also, when the rubber of the curler loses its elasticity, it is time to replace it. It is also recommended to be aware of whether you are using excessive force.
