Eyelash care – not just useful after an eyelash lift 

Beautiful eyelashes and eyebrows are real eye-catchers. They radiate vitality, shape your individual expression and can significantly define your face. Although these tiny hairs are finer and shorter than the hair on your head, they too need some gentle care. The good news is that eyelash care needn’t be particularly time-consuming or complicated. With the right products, you can establish a quick and effective routine that fits beautifully into your daily life – and which pays particular dividends if you’ve had an eyelash lift or brow lamination.

What puts strain on eyelashes and eyebrows in everyday life 

These fine hairs consist mainly of keratin and are made up of a hair shaft and a hair root; melanin gives them their colour. They are not only an aesthetic feature but also protect the eyes: eyelashes keep dust and dirt at bay, whilst eyebrows help to channel away water and sweat. In addition to such environmental factors, eyelashes and eyebrows are subjected to further stress as part of the daily beauty routine. Mascara, frequent make-up removal, the use of an eyelash curler or simply rubbing the eyes can take their toll on the hair structure. Gentle cleansing and effective care can help to provide optimal support for these fine hairs. Specifically, good eyelash care should achieve three things:

• Moisturise: Well-moisturised hairs are more supple and easier to style. 

• Protect the hair structure: This helps eyelashes and eyebrows cope more easily with daily exposure to water, styling, and mechanical and environmental stressors.

 • Create a base: This treatment prepares eyelashes and eyebrows for all subsequent products and styling treatments, such as eyelash lifts and brow lamination.

Why eyelash care requires a little patience 

Eyelashes grow differently to the hair on your head: their growth phase lasts only a few weeks, after which the hair falls out and is replaced by a new one. Not all eyelashes are in the same phase of the cycle at the same time. This explains two things. Firstly, it is completely normal for individual eyelashes to fall out every day. Secondly, care products and serums take time to work, as they work in harmony with the natural growth cycle. Visible results therefore usually only become apparent after several weeks of consistent use – patience is an essential part of eyelash care. 

Intensive eyelash care following an eyelash lift 

An eyelash lift, just like a brow lamination, is a chemical treatment that alters the natural structure and shape of the hair. In the first 24–48 hours after the treatment, you should avoid contact with water and make-up. Afterwards, an oil-free product can help to nourish and strengthen the fine hairs, ensuring the results last as long as possible. The EYEZONE CONDITIONING CARE COMPLEX is a highly effective eyelash care product designed precisely for this purpose. It features a combination of nourishing, high-quality ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, panthenol, biotin and peptides. These moisturise, soothe, protect against breakage and increase resilience. This ensures the fine hairs are well cared for and the results of your treatment last longer. 

Why removing make-up is part of eyelash care 

Cleansing in the evening is essential for removing dirt, sebum, bacteria, make-up, mascara and other residues from the face, as well as from the eyelashes and eyebrows. It helps to prevent blocked pores, inflammation and bacterial growth, and promotes skin regeneration and the absorption of skincare products. The CLEANSING & MOISTURISING FOAM offers deep, intensive cleansing whilst remaining gentle on the skin, eyelashes and eyebrows. The sulphate- and oil-free, silicone-free formula is gentle even on chemically treated and coloured hair, as well as false eyelashes, making it the ideal choice for removing make-up after an eyelash lift or brow lamination. Active ingredients such as panthenol, hyaluronic acid and glycerine provide additional moisture, nourish the skin and, acting as a kind of primer, optimally prepare it for the absorption of further products such as an eyelash serum.

Eyelash serum: the foundation for a beautiful eyelash lift 

An eyelash lift looks particularly stunning with long, thick eyelashes. The EYELASH ACTIVATING SERUM is a highly effective eyelash serum designed to deliver maximum results. The complex of active ingredients strengthens the eyelashes, increases their number and extends their growth phase. The serum’s nourishing ingredients strengthen the eyelashes, whilst the Activating Complex stimulates both active and inactive hair follicles – resulting in eyelashes that are 50 per cent longer and thicker, as well as 50 per cent greater colour intensity. ¹ An ideal starting point for a treatment that will benefit you for a long time to come. The EYEBROW RENEWING SERUM has been specially developed for eyebrows. With its innovative formula, it ensures 80% thicker brows, 80% new hair growth and 50% greater colour intensity. ² The fine hairs are replenished, growth is stimulated and the hair structure is improved. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides and biotin provide intensive care for the brows, ensuring that a brow lamination treatment lasts well. The same applies to both serums: consistency pays off. Those who use them daily over several weeks will see the best results – in line with the growth cycle of the hairs.

What you should avoid doing to your eyelashes 

Just as important as proper care is knowing what to avoid. These habits put unnecessary strain on the delicate hairs: 

• Using waterproof mascara as a long-term solution. It usually can only be removed by vigorous rubbing, which can cause the hairs to break.

• Using an eyelash curler after applying mascara. The lashes are already shaped; any additional mechanical pressure will only put strain on them.

• Rubbing your eyes. One of the most common causes of eyelashes falling out or snapping. 

• Leaving make-up on overnight. This can lead to blocked pores and irritated eyelid margins. 

• Dry, jerky brushing. It’s better to gently comb the lashes into shape with a clean brush. 

Conclusion: Eyelash care is worth doing every day 

Eyelash care takes just a few minutes and has a dual benefit: it keeps the fine hairs supple and resilient, and it ensures that an eyelash lift or brow lamination stays looking beautiful for longer. Gently cleanse, provide targeted care, strengthen with a serum – that’s all it takes to keep your eyelashes and eyebrows long, full and naturally beautiful.
