The eyelashes are at the edge of the eyelid of each eye. They help protect the eye from dust and foreign particles as well as reducing the glare. Each eye has about 200 eyelashes. Eyelashes consist of 3 sets of short hairs. Those of the upper eyelid are more numerous and longer than those of the lower eyelid. The eyelashes of the upper eyelid are bent upwards, and those of the lower eyelid are bent downwards. They extend from the canthus (commissure of the eyelid) internal to the external canthus. Eyelashes have a lifespan of 3 to 5 months, which can be prolonged by deeply nourishing the ciliary bulb and through systematic maintenance. New eyelashes are constantly formed and the regrowth will be increased by the action of the purity of the ingredients, the strengthening of the ciliary bulbs and the constancy of the application.
Like a barrier, they hold impurities and foreign objects (such as dust) on the edge of the eyelid; this way, they avoid getting into the eye. They also retain the drops of sweat and finally, just like some blinds, they attenuate the sun’s rays mainly when the eyes are narrowed or closed. An eye without eyelashes is a vulnerable eye.
Furthermore, eyelashes contribute to facial expression. Their density and length give the eye a particular intensity. As such, each flutter of eyelashes is a weapon of seduction in women, and also in men.
The responsible pathologies
We are not going to make an exhaustive list of the diseases that cause the abnormal loss of eyelashes, but we will mention some of them:
– Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids. Its causes can be multiple: bacteria, overproduction of the sebaceous glands, dust exposure, vision disorders. It is manifested by swelling of the eyelids, itching, flaking, burning and a loss of lashes, which may be important.
– Alopecia areata is a dermatologic autoimmune pathology that attacks the hair follicles (the cavities where the hair is born) and causes the loss of hair, eyelashes and eyebrows.
– Lupus is also a chronic autoimmune disease. Most times, it is present in women. Several organs can be affected and symptoms vary from one individual to another: joint pain, fever, abdominal pain, alopecia, and vision problems.
– Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. Falling hair and eyelashes can be part of these symptoms.
Other factors
The abnormal loss of eyelashes also comes from certain treatments. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, which prevent the proliferation of cancer cells and kill them, are examples. But again, this side effect will depend on the individual (we are not all in the same boat) and the type of chemotherapy or radiation.
Stress, depression, nutritional deficiencies do not spare us anymore.
Better nutrition eliminating animal fats may allow faster regrowth of lashes.
Under the influence of the environment, pollution, and various shortcomings of our lifestyle and age, the epigenome (the environment of our cellular DNA) weakens.
The biological balance at the heart of the cells is disturbed. This can be seen in the weakening of the eyelashes and the more frequent loss of eyelashes resulting in narrowing and weakening of the ciliary bulbs.
In order to avoid any major complication, it is recommended to reduce the intake of fats of animal origin and to favor unsaturated fats of vegetable origin; to have a varied diet of vegetables, fruits, dairy, starches, and fish. Avoid salty foods and opt for fish, omega-3s, fresh vegetables, nuts, and other foods loaded with Omega-3s and -6s.
A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle meet the demands of the body.
Ultimately, processes such as eyelash extensions or eyelashes may also harm them. Frictions due to makeup removal, allergies, and temperature changes are all factors that affect the strength and health of eyelashes.
As we have seen above, the life of an eyelash lasts an average of five months, provided that it is well nourished and provided with the necessary daily care. Also a healthy and balanced diet is fundamental for the proper development of an eyelash: iron, proteins, zinc, vitamins, etc.
It is also necessary to provide the eyelashes with appropriate care to make it more resistant to various types of pollution and more resistant to aggressions, illnesses and stress.
External aggressions reduce the life of the eyelash, which forces us to provide, with Regenerate Lash Serum ®, a daily protection, a constant care of eyelids and ciliary bulbs.
Urban pollution and poor nutrition, coupled with a lack of sunlight, are the direct causes of the 26% reduction in eyelash life.
Regenerate Lash Serum ®, that we propose, can play a role. Indeed, it has fatty acids that nourish deeply. This action strengthens the eyelash by forming a shield around it to protect it from the various aggressions, nourishing and firming deeply the ciliary bulb.
In addition, Regenerate Lash Serum ® cleanses the lash with antifungal and antibacterial serum with extracts of “Moroccan Prickly Pear Seed Organic Oil Complex”.
Regenerate Lash Serum ® stimulates microcirculation, which allows the eyelash to grow stronger and stronger.
Health problems, treatments, deficiencies, stress, depression … weaken our eyelashes and can make them fall. The fall of the eyelashes is psychologically very hard, but there is no need to worry because they grow back. Regenerate Lash Serum ® can quickly restore your eyelashes.
Regenerate Lash Serum ® natural and organic care, is perhaps the solution: it strengthens the eyelashes and must be applied in a systematic way to firm the ciliary bulb and slow the eyelash at the time of regrowth and throughout its life.
Regenerate Lash Serum ® is a fortifier that must be applied every night before going to bed, on healthy and dry skin.
Adjusting of formulas to the life cycle of eyelashes
Regenerate Lash Serum ® regenerates, boosts and multiplies the natural cycle of the eyelashes: the fall is slowed down, the density is stronger.
Yes, they grow back! The eyelash will know several phases during which it will be born, grow, die to give way to another. In this paragraph we will see its different periods, the problems that can cause disorders of the eyelash and causing its sudden fall, and the care likely to remedy it.
The average duration of an eyelash is between 3 and 5 months. Like the hair, its life cycle is punctuated by 4 stages: the anagen, catagen, telogen, and fall phases.
– The anagen phase: The eyelash takes root in the hair follicle thanks to the nutrients carried by the blood vessels. Its duration of growth varies from one individual to another. Phase during which it is necessary to strengthen the ciliary bulb.
– The catagen phase: Relatively shorter, it corresponds to a stop of its development. The follicle reduces its activity and the bulb rises to the surface of the epidermis. Phase during which the treatment makes its effect and strengthens the eyelashes.
– The telogen phase: The eyelash enters a phase of rest, which marks its end of life. Another eyelash is formed, this is again the anagen phase. Phase reduced by intensive treatment of eyelashes and ciliary bulbs.
– And finally the birth of an eyelash will expel the dead eyelash. It’s the fall. Faster birth due to treatment of eyelashes and ciliary bulbs during a minimum of 6 weeks.
