#1 Lash/Brow Nourishment
Just as we treat our scalp hair with enriched shampoos, conditioners and our face and body with vitamin skin creams, the lash and brow hair require fortifying treatments as well. Lash and brow regimens are no longer being overlooked. In fact, nourishing these prominent features is now being viewed as fundamental for supporting healthier-appearing lashes and brows.
#2 Mascara Can Be Drying
Wearing mascara, especially waterproof mascara, can be very drying and may contribute to dehydrated-looking lashes. Hydrating ingredients like panthenol in lash serums help seal in moisture of the lash hair, improving the overall appearance.
#3 False Lashes Gone Bad
Women who are playing with the multitude of fanciful false lash products available in the marketplace today may remove them improperly and rip out their natural lash line or cause irritation to their lash line. Lash serums often incorporate ingredients like comfrey plant that help soothe and calm the delicate skin of the lash line.
#4 Environmental Factors
UV Rays, wind, cold and dry weather wreak havoc on lash and brow hair. Polypeptides, amino acids and biotin in some lash serums are essential factors in protecting against breakage and supporting more youthful-looking appearance of lashes and brows through all weather and seasons.
