If you don't want to rely on mascara or fake eyelashes to make your lashes look fuller and longer, you should look into ways to achieve growth. There are several products and natural remedies that can help stimulate growth. However, if a medical disorder or prescription drug is causing poor growth, you need to consult your doctor to reverse the condition.
Latisse
Latisse has received a lot of attention for being the first product approved by the Food and Drug Administration for stimulating eyelash growth. You need to receive a prescription from a doctor that offers Latisse treatment. The active ingredient in Latisse is 0.03 percent bimatoprost ophthalmic solution.
Cleanse the area before applying. Then apply with the disposable applicator to the base of the upper eyelashes. Any excess solution should be blotted away with a tissue. It takes about four weeks to start seeing results from daily use of Latisse.
LiLash
LiLash is a treatment for longer eyelashes that can be purchased over the counter. The manufacturer of LiLash states that you should expect to see results within four to six weeks.
To apply the topical solution, close your eyes and run the applicator wand over the base of your upper eyelids. You will apply the solution in a similar way to liquid eyeliner. The solution should be absorbed into the skin before putting on any other makeup. A blend of seed extracts, botanical ingredients and proteins are used to achieve results.
Natural Remedies
Daily massage of the eyelids can improve blood flow and stimulate eyelash growth. Eating a well-balanced diet with foods high in protein, iron, B vitamins and vitamin A can help you grow any type of hair, including eyelashes. Eat plenty of green leafy vegetables, fish, turkey breast, skinless chicken, beans and low-fat dairy. Some users claim that the daily application of a mineral oil to the lashes can help stimulate growth. However, the oil is likely to soften the lashes instead of encouraging them to grow longer.
