The only proven thing to grow lashes is Latisse, which is only available by prescription. Everything else is either a placebo effect or bad for your eyes/pores.

DO NOT USE VASELINE. Vaseline is a sealant and can clog your pores and, in serious cases, clog your tear duct.

Thank you so much 😊

Your eyelashes shed and regrow every 28-32 days. Latisse is the only thing "proven" to work because it is the only thing doctors can make money off of. I've seen this trend a lot, one person says it and the rest repeat it without actually doing research. They blindly follow pretty much. The leading active ingredient in Latisse is bimatoprost, which is found in other products too. There are bimatoprost eyedrops (prescription), revitalash, Jan Marini serum, xtremelashes lash and brow fortifier (personal favorite) and a few more reputable ones that use the same ingredients in different quantities, which takes longer but helps to aide some of the side affect you get with the higher dosage in Latisse.

Your eyelashes are hair, and like any other hair can only grow to its fullest potential when at its healthiest. Use an easy penetrative oil such as jojoba or coconut oil, scoop some or pour some out into a separate container to avoid contamination, and apply with a disposable spoolie being sure not to double dip. Cleanliness is very important when dealing with the eyes. NEVER USE VASELINE. I have a whole freacking paragraph on that ask around 😉

Also, avoid mascara. Please I can't stress this enough girl you're suffocating your lashes!! Try and avoid it as much as possible with tight lining and what not. It's like constantly wearing heavy product in your hair- no good. When you do wear it, use an oil based remover to GENTLY remove is as soon as possible. Do not scrub at your lashes,
You shouldn't rip them out. There are alternative options such as lash extensions, hut you need to go to a reputable technician (not just a reputable salon, the technician but be GOOD specifically) Eyelash extensions can actually benefit your lashes when applied properly! I can write you quite a bit of information on those as well if you're interested.

You are avoiding mascara and usually eye makeup in general when you wear lash extensions. Also, you are required to avoid oil based makeup and be gentle on your lashes to avoid any tugging. If your lash trchnician knows what she's doing, she will choose lengths and thicknesses based on your natural lash and what she thinks it can handle, so it would be like not wearing anything on your lashes, giving them a break.
