Life After Lash Extensions - 5 Top Tips On How To Repair Damaged Lashes
Lash extensions are often used as a quick fix to achieve the long and luscious lashes we all desire. However, we may only realise the damage they cause to our natural lashes once it's too late. Extensions tend to disrupt your natural lash cycle and the glue used to adhere the lashes may irritate, leading you to rub the eye and cause damage to the cuticle and the root.
At UKLASH, we believe in enhancing natural beauty with our bestselling lash growth products; including our #1 rated serums, gentle cleansers and volumising and lengthening mascaras, allowing you to achieve longer, stronger and healthier lashes.
We understand that once you have had extensions, the habit can be tough to break and transitioning from long faux lashes to shorter natural lashes is often a hard pill to swallow. Below we have laid out five top tips on how to speed up the repair of your natural lashes and achieve a long and luscious look naturally:
1. Use an eyelash serum daily to boost growth
Once the extensions are gone, one of the best things you can do for your lashes is to feed them with essential vitamins, extracts and peptides that are vital in stimulating growth - luckily we have just the product.
There’s a reason why our original Eyelash Serum is rated #1 worldwide. It is fortified with Vitamin B5 (Panthenol), Green Tea extract, and Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 — an amino acid peptide known for stimulating keratin growth — resulting in visibly longer lashes in as little as 25 days.
2. Take your vitamins
Fuelling your body (and your lashes!) with daily vitamins can encourage hair growth and help to protect and strengthen the follicles that are already there.
Our delicious strawberry-flavoured gummies are filled with Biotin, Vitamins C and E and Folic Acid; all key ingredients to replenish damaged hair and encourage long and happy lash growth!
3. Use a lengthening mascara
Not all mascaras are made equal and at UKLASH, we understand how to strike the balance between nourishing your lashes and enhancing your look.
Our Lengthening Mascara offers an extra-black pigmented formula that is powered by natural Carnauba and Candelilla waxes for optimum curl and hold, whilst Glycerin helps to hydrate and moisturise the lashes, resulting in a healthier, bolder and stronger look.
4. Eat more whole foods
Eating a well-balanced diet and making sure your body is taking in all the nutrients and vitamins it needs is a vital part of your lash growth journey. Up your intake of foods such as spinach and kale for omega 3 and magnesium, salmon, eggs and beans for protein and whole grain cereals, peanuts, and legumes for Vitamin B5 (Panthenol), all of which can help strengthen the lash roots and refresh the hair follicles.
5. Make sure to remove make-up daily
Keeping eyelashes clean is key to stimulating growth. Using a gentle cleanser daily will help to remove make-up and excess build-up from everyday life, and encourage healthier and stronger lash growth.
Our Lash & Brow Wash is an award-winning formula that calmly works to restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier and, with the help of plant extracts such as Aloe Vera and Apple Water, will leave lashes feeling hydrated, soothed and clean.
