Profile: Eyelash Loss

Definition: Experiencing a greater than usual eyelash loss. Generally, two to three eyelashes fall out daily and then regrow. Eyelashes have a short growth cycle and their average lifespan is 45 to 90 days. In some individuals, this eyelash loss can occur much more frequently.

Internal and external causes: Genetic factors, stress, age, nutritional deficiencies, overly aggressive makeup removal, incorrect use of an eyelash curler, frequent eye rubbing, hormonal changes, allergic reactions to a cosmetic product, and diseases (such as blepharitis, alopecia, hypothyroidism...).

How to reduce or eliminate: Identify the cause of eyelash loss and correct the action if possible; apply a concentrated treatment every night that is rich in nourishing and strengthening active ingredients (biotinyl-GHK, castor oil, silicon, peptides, panthenol...) to improve the strength of the phaneres, thus making them less brittle, and restoring their strength and resilience; consult a doctor as this could indicate a health problem.

Preventative steps to take: Always remove mascara from the eyelashes before going to sleep; avoid being too harsh during makeup removal, use gentle movements; favor a biphasic makeup remover lotion; enhance the quality of the eyelashes with treatments containing nourishing and strengthening active ingredients (castor oil, arginine, biotinyl-GHK, pea peptides...); refrain from touching or rubbing your eyelashes; use the eyelash curler before applying makeup; maintain a diet rich in vitamins A, B, and E as well as omega-3.
