Eyelash & Eyebrow Serum: How much should you apply?

Originally, the role of eyelashes and eyebrows is to protect the eyes from impurities and sweat. However, numerous external factors weaken them: extensions, permanent or temporary makeup, pollution, repeated or unconscious rubbing with fingers... In addition, with hormonal changes, menopause or andropause for men, their quantity and quality diminish. Let's not forget to mention certain ophthalmological pathologies, such as blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids), which can also damage them.

Eyelash and eyebrow serums have emerged on the cosmetic market in recent years and their success shows no signs of waning. By nourishing these hairs with their active ingredients, these serums help to promote their regrowth, thicken them, sometimes darken them, and improve their density. But how should they be used correctly? What is the right amount to apply? Answers to these questions will be provided in the following sections of this article!

Applying the correct amount of a skincare product is important as it prevents wastage while allowing the product to release the right amount of active ingredients. However, applying the right amount depends on the packaging.

Generally, eyelash and eyebrow serums come with brushes similar to those found in mascaras. These applicators are convenient as they allow for the optimal amount of product to be retained. On the eyelashes, the serum is applied using zigzag motions, from the root to the tip of the hairs. On the eyebrows, it is appropriate to brush the hairs in the direction of their growth. Whether for eyelashes or eyebrows, two applications are more than sufficient to evenly distribute the product.

Dosage errors occur when the serum for eyelashes and eyebrows is applied directly with the finger. Of course, the amount of treatment to be taken depends on the length of the lashes and the density of the eyebrows, but generally, one should not exceed an amount equivalent to a coffee bean. Since its formula is often watery and fluid, this amount easily spreads over the eyelashes and eyebrows.

Finally, if the serum is provided with a fine brush, apply it like an eyeliner, along the lash line. You can accompany this application with gentle massages or soft pressures to distribute the treatment and facilitate its absorption. Above all, avoid back-and-forth movements.

Composed of 96% natural origin ingredients, this fortifying serum does not contain phenoxyethanol or any prostaglandin derivatives.Based on pea peptides andcastor oil, it nourishes, strengthens, and promotes the growth of eyelashes and eyebrows. This serum also contains biotinyl-GHK and panthenol, active ingredients that stimulate the synthesis of collagen and laminin, playing an important role in anchoring the bulb in the epidermis. They thus strengthen the eyelashes and eyebrows, prevent premature falls, and contribute to their densification.

How is it applied? Remove the brush from the bottle and apply the lash serum directly to your lashes and eyebrows. Don't forget your lower lashes! Do not rinse off this treatment.
