Every woman dreams of beautiful, full, and long eyelashes. They are like a frame for the eyes and the focal point of any eye makeup. Without long eyelashes, even an elaborate smokey eye often looks incomplete.
From false eyelashes to lash extensions, there are many ways to enhance your lashes. But wouldn't it be even better if you could save yourself the time of going to a beauty salon and simply wake up with beautiful, natural lashes?
Many of us dream of not having to go through a long routine every morning until the eye makeup is perfect. We'll show you a few simple tricks and home remedies to strengthen your natural lashes and help them grow healthier. With these beauty tips, you're guaranteed fluttering lashes with a natural wow effect.
Tip 1: Removing Makeup Properly
After a long evening or a night out, it can be very tempting to simply go to bed with makeup on. However, this is not good for your lashes at all. Frequent mascara application makes the delicate hairs brittle and prone to breakage. That's why it's very important to give them a little break from the stress of everyday life sometimes.
When removing makeup, it's important not to strain your lashes too much and to use the right makeup remover. I recommend ouroil-free LongLashes Eye Cleanser. It is not only gentle on the sensitive eye area, but also removes even waterproof eye makeup thanks to its two-phase formula. I place a cotton pad with the cleanser on my closed eye for a few seconds and then wipe downwards over the lashes. For me, this has become a real beauty ritual after long workdays.

For the rest of your face, I highly recommend our Payalove Cleansing Foam. Daily deep cleansing with papain and fruit enzymes gives you a fresh glow and does not dry out your skin during cleansing. Because let's be honest: a perfect eye look alone is not enough ;)
And the best part is: If you want to try both cleansers together, you can get our Double Cleansing Duo at a special price.
Tip 2: Finding the Right Mascara
If you wear makeup regularly, it's important to pay attention to both the choice of the right mascara and the application. This will really make your makeup stand out and you can do without false lashes.
Before applying mascara, you can detangle the fine hairs with an eyelash comb so that they are free from dust and possible foreign bodies and do not clump when applying mascara. Using an eyelash curler before applying mascara creates a longer-looking lash effect. When applying mascara itself, you start at the base of the lash line and then move in zigzag motions towards the tips, thus protecting the lashes.
Mascara with hyaluronic acid is particularly practical, as it protects and nourishes the individual hairs. Our special Hyaluron Volume Mascara features a special mascara brush that coats each individual lash. This provides more volume and curled lashes, while your lashes are simultaneously supplied with nutrients. This makes your mascara-coated lashes look full, naturally get the perfect curl, and hold their own against false lashes.

Tip 3: Healthy Lifestyle and Proven Home Remedies
To strengthen your lashes, you can also turn to natural home remedies. These prevent the fine hairs from breaking and lead to full lashes with regular use.
For the growth of strong, long lashes, castor oil from the pharmacy or health food store is suitable, for example. It is not expensive and ensures that your lashes become stronger and fall out less often. With regular use, it thus ensures more robust, fuller lashes. It is best to make sure when purchasing that the castor oil is cold-pressed, as it loses important nutrients through heating and thus the desired effect is weakened.
Before applying the castor oil, it is important to make sure that no makeup residue remains. It is best to apply the castor oil after removing makeup and before going to bed with a clean mascara brush or a cotton pad and then wash it off the next morning. Since it is not harmful, you can safely apply it every evening. However, if you want to use an eyelash serum, you should avoid castor oil and other oil-based products or wash your face thoroughly with water again in the morning before applying, otherwise the oil can reduce or even prevent the effect of the serum.
Green tea can also help strengthen the lashes (and prevent dark circles at the same time): Simply soak a cotton pad and place it on your eyes for about 10 minutes. Then wash your face with cold water and pat it dry carefully.
Apart from external home remedies, a healthy lifestyle is also important. Through plenty of exercise and a healthy diet with enough vitamins, you not only promote your internal health, but your lashes, hair, and nails will also thank you and grow faster.
Tip 4: Eyelash Serum and Treatment
In addition to time-tested home remedies, we also have professional care products in our range that ensure dense lashes. If you want to pamper your lashes especially, you can occasionally apply a treatment or serum. These strengthen the lashes particularly and thus promote better growth, they also give the lashes shine and supply them with moisture, nutrients, and vitamins. With regular use, you can feel a difference after just a few weeks. Such products should not contain silicones, as these can irritate the eyes and seal the skin, preventing an eyelash serum from working. You can recognize silicones in products by the ingredients with the endings "-cone" or "-xane". Our Long Lashes Eyelash Serum stimulates growth and nourishes the lashes.
