Growing Longer Eyelashes
March 5, 2010
Long and thick eyelashes are usually a plus for eyes. Some may use fake eyelashes while others will go for eyelash growth boosters.
The discovery of eyelash growth enhancers was completely accidental. A drug used to treat glaucoma in the eye produced an unexpected side effect – those who used this medication found out that their eyelashes were growing longer.
Before long, cosmetics producers were using a combination of this drug and other elements to fabricate eyelash growth enhancers. Today there are several companies producing many different kinds of eyelash growth enhancers in the market.
Bimatoprost and Latanoprost are two elements that help eyelashes to grow faster. Many companies will alternate between these two drugs to create growth enhancers. These elements are harmless and have very few side effects if the eyelash boosters are used correctly.
Using Eyelash Boosters
Any eyelash growth enhancer needs to be applied very near to the root of eyelashes because the hair is made up of dead cells so for the enhancer to work, it will have to reach the follicle. This means that you should go for products that have brushes instead of wands. Wands will not reach the follicle and you may be disappointed with the results. It is best to apply your eyelash growth enhancer in the morning or evening right after cleaning your eyelids.
You usually do not have to wait very long for your eyelashes to thicken and grow longer after using a booster, especially if you use it correctly. Depending on your genes, the kind of food you eat and the eyelash growth enhancer you used, your eyelashes will be noticeably longer after about 14 to 28 days after using the product.
Which Brand Would You Go For?
There are many brands of eyelash growth enhancers. Before buying one, it is advisable that make inquiries into the various brands. You can do this by Googling eyelash growth stimulators and reading customer reviews. When buying, also make sure that the booster has either Bimatoprost or Latanoprost as an active ingredient.
Eyelash growth boosters are usually very costly and it is understandable that you are little skeptical about how effective they are. The truth is your eyelashes will return to their normal length if you stop using your enhancer but after about half a month or so, you can reduce how much use the product. Usually, applying once every 4 to 7 days will keep your eyelashes longer.
So do your research, make up your mind and start using enhancers for long and beautiful eyelashes.
