I talk quite a lot about skincare and beauty tips around here because I love helping people feel more comfortable and confident in their skin.
One of the hottest areas in the beauty industry is eyelashes.
More and more people are getting eyelash extensions to go with their acuvue lenses or using prescription treatments for eyelash growth. More than 50% of women say mascara is a cosmetic they can’t live without. Are you apart of that 50%? I sure am!
Whether you pile on luscious layers of mascara like me or prefer they go nude, here are a few facts that will help you keep those lashes looking longer, fuller, and darker for years to come:
#1. We’re all born with a set amount of eyelash follicles. Although we can manipulate the look of our eyelashes, we can’t change the actual number of openings in the skin where lashes grow.
#2. Our eyelashes provide important protection. Those gorgeous, fragile hairs around our eyes help protect from dust, debris, sun, wind, and more.
#3. Eyelashes are constantly regenerating themselves. These precious hairs are in a continual state of growing, resting, shedding, and regrowing – a period that takes anywhere from 6 months to a year.
#4. Eyelashes become thinner over time. No, you’re not imagining things. The appearance of our eyelashes changes as we age. Additionally, those set amount of eyelash follicles can stop producing new lashes as the years pass.
#5. Most of us have around 100 lashes or so on the top eyelid and about half that amount on the bottom lid. Who knew? And is anyone actually counting? Besides, the amount doesn’t matter…what you do with what you have is what counts!
Now that you’re more informed about eyelashes and how we can show them a little more love, make sure you’re rocking the best lashes possible!
What if you could have lashes that were 100% real and 100% yours that looked like this in just 8 weeks?
Aren’t these results incredible? If you’ve been thinking about prescription treatments for lash growth or trying expensive eyelash extensions and would like to know more about the effective lash serum that’s helping me and thousands of other people experience longer-looking, fuller-looking, darker-looking lashes, shoot me a message. I’m glad to send you more info about it.
What lash treatments are you using? Are you happy with the results? Have you tried any lash serums before? I’d love to hear what is and isn’t working for you!
PS: Do you have a passion for health or beauty? Do you enjoy helping others? Would using that passion to add an extra $500 or more to your monthly income make a positive impact on your household?
Very impressive looking transformations. Thanks for the eyelash facts !
Thinner over time? Oh no! Haha. Guess i better take care of them as best as I can too 🙂
OKAY I NEVER KNEW HALF OF THIS STUFF ABOUT EYELASHES. GREAT INFORMATION TO KNOW AND USE.
I’ve considered using serums, but haven’t decided it’s worth it to fork out the money for them. I have friends who have used Latisse and it’s worked well for them. I also have friends who sell Rodan and Fields and they have an eyelash serum as well. Maybe one of these days I’ll give it a try. Until then, I just use a combination of lengthening and volumizing mascara.
Wow! The most I know is that mine are very long and sometimes look like I have mascara on even when I do not. I tried the fake ones once an it looked so nice and full.
I didn’t know any of this! They thin over time?! No!!!!

Good to know info about eyelashes. The eyelashes in the pictures look amazing.
Those results are amazing I feel like I had really full lashes when I was younger but they are sparse now I didn’t realise they got thinner!

I’m not sure I technically knew eyelashes thinned as we aged but it makes total sense!
My eyelashes are so small that they are hard to see. This looks like a product for me.
I love how we both had a topic about eyelashes today (: I didnt realize we had that many eyelashes! Great topic.

Wow! You can really noticed the results in the before and after pictures. I didn’t realize eyelashes thinned over time, but it definitely makes sense!
great article! Point 4 made me sad 🙂
Love the eyelash facts 😀
I didn’t know anything about this. But it is so interesting. I’ll keep it in my mind.
They definitely get sparser as you age. Mine are much thinner now than they were when I was younger. Overusing fake eyelashes tends to damage them, too.

I love getting to say that I learned something new today. Thanks for this, girlfriend! And can we please answer the age-old question of why boys get blessed with the thickest and most gorgeous full sets of lashes?? My little boys have lashes for days, while I’m sitting over here coating on the mascara! Go figure.
I had no idea about a couple of these. It’s awesome to learn about since I love mascara.
i’m not that much of a beauty that worries about things like this, i take everything as normal. but girl your lashes looks amazing! very informative post about lashes that most, I dont know about.
Wow! I never really pay attention to my eyelashes! Thanks for sharing these awesome information about our lashes. I’ve never tried treatments to make them longer or thicker.
Cool! I didn’t know we were born with as many eyelashes as we’d ever have … and that we have 150 per eye! Neat facts. 😀
Wow, I am super impressed with the results! That is amazing to have that kind of growth in only 5 weeks. I’ll be sure to recommend this article to a few of my friends 🙂
I do hear a lot about eyelash extensions, but really don’t have much ideas about it. These facts about eyelashes are quiet interesting which I have really not thought much before. Particularly it scares me a bit to know that they will become small as we age!
Very interesting. I don’t have very long lashes so I wear lash extensions.

Very interesting, I didn’t know any of those things about eyelashes. Mine definitely need a little help, I have thought about using serums, but have sensitive eyes so I am hestitant.
I seriously did not know all of this about eyelashes! It is a good thing that I take good care of mine!
