Do you want longer, fuller-looking lashes but are skeptical about lash serums because you’re unsure how they work? If you weren’t born with long lashes and don’t want to fuss with falsies or extensions, lash serums can help lengthen and strengthen your natural lashes. Eyelash serums nourish your natural lashes to help promote overall lash health and prevent breakage. With the right eyelash serum, anyone can achieve longer-looking lashes. But what is eyelash serum? And how does it work? This guide explains it all.

 

What is Eyelash Serum?

 

Eyelash serum is a lightweight topical treatment that, when used as directed, conditions and nourishes lash follicles to give the appearance of longer-looking lashes. Along with nutrients, lash serums have conditioning ingredients that support healthy hair growth. Most lash serums are applied to the upper lash line with a fine-tipped applicator once or twice daily. Like any of your other favorite beauty products, not all eyelash serums are created equal, and some work better than others. When selecting the best lash serum, it's important to choose a reputable cosmetic brand that understands how to create a gentle yet effective product. The award-winning LiLash Purified Eyelash Serumis physician-formulated and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

 

How Eyelash Serums Work: The Science Behind It

 

Understanding the growth cycle of eyelashes is vital to understanding the science behind how eyelash serums work. The growth process takes between four and eleven months and consists of three phases:

 

• The anagen phase: The growth phase is when a new eyelash pushes out the old eyelash and grows longer and thicker. The anagen phase typically lasts between four and ten weeks. Lash serums help extend the anagen stage to help promote growth.
• The catagen phase: During the catagen, or degradation phase, the eyelash stops growing and enters a dormant period. It remains in this phase until a new lash pushes it out.
• The telogen phase: Finally, the eyelash enters the telogen, or resting phase, which can last for three to four months. This is when the eyelash gets pushed out of the follicle (sheds) to allow the new eyelash to appear and start the process again.

 

Every eyelash goes through a growth cycle. Taking care of your lashes during the growth cycle will help keep them looking fuller and longer. Eyelash serums nourish the lashes throughout this cycle, especially during the anagen phase. Get into the habit of applying your lash serum daily for the best results.

 

Lash Serum Ingredients - What You Need to Know

 

Using an eyelash serum made from high-quality ingredients can noticeably improve the appearance of eyelashes. Look for serums made with peptides, plant extracts, vitamins, and minerals. These ingredients help stimulate growth and keep eyelashes thick. LiLash Purified Eyelash Serum uses a carefully curated formula to condition and nourish follicles, boosting the appearance of length, thickness, and curl. All of the ingredients are specifically chosen for their lash-nourishing abilities.

 

You’ll likely notice a change in your lashes around six weeks after using a lash serum. Maximum results can take as long as 90 days. If you stop using the eyelash serum, lashes will eventually revert to their natural state and appearance. Applying eyelash serum regularly keeps lashes looking healthy for longer. Some users recommend giving eyelashes a one-to-two-week break between treatments to allow the hair follicles to rest. Taking a short break shouldn't majorly affect the overall results.

 

Benefits of Using Eyelash Serum

 

There are many reasons why your lashes may look thin, sparse, or short. Aging, genetics, and health conditions can affect eyelash growth. Using a high-quality eyelash serum can stimulate new growth and keep follicles healthy.

 

Here are some benefits of using a lash serum to boost your look.

 

• 1. Condition Lashes

The hydrating effects of eyelash serums provide eyelashes with the moisture they need but don’t often get. Conditioning the eyelashes encourages healthy growth and less breakage. Less breakage means that your lashes have a chance to grow longer and fuller.

 

• 2. Prevent Damage

Dry, brittle eyelashes can break easily and look dull. As your eyelashes become healthier, they’ll be less likely to break.

 

• 4. Skip Mascara

Many people are comfortable going out without mascara after consistently using eyelash serum for at least three months. This means less time spent applying makeup and more time showing off naturally beautiful eyes.

 

How to Apply Eyelash Serum

 

Applying your eyelash serum correctly is essential for the best results and naturally longer-looking lashes. Improper use can result in eye irritation and poor results. Always read the instructions carefully. Some brands recommend using the serum twice daily, while others, like the LiLash Purified Eyelash Serum, only need it once. Sore your lash serum with other cosmetics you use daily as a reminder to apply.

 

Here are some tips for correctly applying eyelash serum:

 

• Choose a time of day to apply the serum, typically before bed, and repeat the application process at the same time each day.
• The area around the eyelashes should be clean and dry before applying the serum.
• Remove the serum application tool from the tube and gently wipe excess serum off the applicator using the sides of the tube.
• Use the serum applicator to apply the product to your upper lash line.
• Let the product dry for at least three minutes before applying mascara, eyelash extensions, or other cosmetics.
• You don't need to apply eyelash serum to the lower eyelashes. When you blink, the extra serum from the upper lashes will naturally transfer to the lower lashes.
• Putting serum on the lower lash line is unnecessary and can lead to waste, potential eye irritation, or dryness from overuse.

 

Choosing the Best Eyelash Serum

 

When choosing the best eyelash serum, a few things make products stand out from the competition. Consider these factors while shopping for a lash serum for the best results.

 

The Ingredients:

Ingredients are a great indicator of how well a lash serum will support eyelash growth. Reading the ingredient label on cosmetics ensures that a product doesn't contain anything that can cause discomfort, skin, or eye irritation. Serums with natural, plant-based ingredients designed for sensitive skin are ideal for use near the eyes.

 

LiLash Purified Eyelash Serum uses natural ingredients, like sweet almond extract and lupine protein, to help promote fuller, longer-looking lashes. A study by Cosmetic Ingredient Reviewhas determined that sweet almond extract is safe for topical use. Another study published by the American College of Toxicology reports that lupine protein is nonirritating and safe to use even near the eyes.

 

The Brand's Reputation:

Many brands create cheap cosmetics that attempt to mimic products that work. These often fall short when it comes to results. Using a lash serum from a reputable cosmetic company helps ensure consumers get the expected results.

 

LiLash Purified Eyelash Serum is paraben-free, has not been tested on animals, and is physician-formulated. LiLash's products are tested by ophthalmologists and are safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

 

The Cost:

Your skincare routine is an investment. Although a high-quality product will cost more upfront, choosing a well-formulated lash serum will help you get the desired results.
