Tips for Growing Healthier, Longer Lashes

In our quest for longer eyelashes, many of us opt for lash extensions to achieve that show-stopping look, but what if we could grow our natural lashes to the same level?

As the leading salon supplier in the UAE, we are passionate about helping our clients to find the very best products and methods to enhancing their natural beauty. From volumizing mascaras to strip lashes and lash serums, we’ve tried them all! Here’s our breakdown of the Pro Beauty Group’s tried and tested methods of successfully growing thicker, fuller eyelashes.

1. Nutrition

Just as with your hair and nails, the health of your lashes can be affected by your diet. It is important you are eating a varied diet to ensure you are fueling your body with all the nutrients it needs. Try to include plenty of protein, B-vitamins, Iron and calcium.

2. Combing

Combing your lashes helps to improve blood flow and therefore stimulate hair growth. Use a clean mascara brush to comb through your lashes for 5 minutes twice a day. Add a few drops of Vitamin E for enhanced results!

3. Lash Serums

The beauty market is flooded with eyelash serums which promise to boost the length of your lashes, each with varying levels of success. For best results, look out for products which contain peptides and biotin. We recommend the Yumi Nourishing Biotin Serum which guarantees to make lashes up to 43% longer and 40% thicker in just 15 days.

4. Green Tea

Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, green tea is often found in cosmetic products and hair loss treatments. Brew a strong cup of green tea and, once cooled apply it to your eyelashes with a cotton pad twice a day.

5. Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is great for hair strengthening and nutrition. Apply a few drops of juice from a fresh aloe leaf to your eyelashes and leave overnight. Further enhance your results by adding castor or olive oil to the juice. Remember to wash your eyes when you wake the next morning.

6. Choosing the right make-up

The components in some mascaras can cause lashes to become dry and fragile, especially if used on a daily basis. If possible, give your eyes a little rest from time to time. Better still, choose a mascara which actually nourishes your lashes as you wear it! The Yumi Lashes Keratin Restore Mascara was formulated to stimulate, repair and strengthen eyelashes. The keratin gives shine and flexibility to the eyelashes while hydrating them deeply.

Whether you choose just one of these techniques or decide to combine a couple of methods, remember that there is no such thing as a quick fix! Each of these methods take at least 15 days to start showing results but we can guarantee that if you are consistent and patient, your lashes will make considerable improvements.
