Care Tips
Very often at beauty forums there are questions about why someone had the lamination perfectly, and the result was pleasing for a long time, but for someone the procedure was completely useless. The case may well be in the subsequent care of eyelashes.
It is especially important how the first day after lamination will take place. In the first 24 hours after the session, it is impossible to wet the eyelashes in any case. And also you can not paint them, nourish with special balms and gels, even use soft cosmetic products.
In order for the result to consolidate, and the eyelashes have a beautiful bend, it takes about 3 days. Therefore, it makes no sense to evaluate the result of lamination earlier than after 3 days. At this time, you should not even lie down for a moment on your pillow, rub your eyes, apply a towel to them. This has a strong mechanical effect on the hairs, which may interfere with fixing the result. After lamination, eyelashes should be looked after.
- Be sure to give hair nourishment. For this, vegetable oil is suitable. Castor - one of the most popular - nourishes, strengthens, promotes the rapid growth of eyelashes. Burdock oil prevents brittle hairs and protects against hair loss. Thanks to olive oil, cilia become thicker and more magnificent, and coconut moisturizes hairs perfectly.
- No care is complete without proper cleansing. Always remove mascara. To remove mascara gently, you need to moisten a cotton pad in micellar water and gently attach it to the cilia. Rubbing your eyes to remove mascara is not necessary. In just a minute (or a little more), the product will dissolve the mascara and it will remain on the disk. And if you rub your eyes every time, it is not surprising that eyelashes fall out, break, and wrinkles appear ahead of time.
- Oils, serums and toners for eyelashes are affordable beauty products. To use such products you need courses for 2-3 months. Then the eyelashes should be given rest. The course can be repeated. Healing products are applied morning and evening along the eyelash growth line.
- Perfectly affect her eyelashes herbal decoctions. You can, for example, brew a teaspoon of cornflower, chamomile or calendula, moisten a cotton pad in a cooled broth and apply for 15 minutes to centuries. This is a wonderful multifunctional compress that strengthens the cilia and relieves fatigue from the eyes. This tool is especially suitable for those who work a lot at the computer.
- Daily makeup - a load for the eyelids and eyelashes. From time to time, they must be given rest. You can give them a detox: for the whole month to abandon makeup. This is not as difficult to do as it might seem at first glance. You just need to do makeup, in which the emphasis is on the lips and skin. Eyelashes are not tinted, but daily lubricated with oils, serums, growth balms. A very effective practice that will please you with healthy, strong ones that have become more magnificent and longer eyelashes.
- Care should be precisely comprehensive: external and internal. If a person properly, fully, balancedly eats, this affects his appearance. Hair will be thicker and stronger, eyebrows and eyelashes will also be transformed.
