As humans age, small lines and wrinkles are to be expected. Anti-aging skin care is a huge and growing industry. However, you may not think about your eyelashes changing with age, too. It’s true; aging can cause eyelashes to get thinner and shorter. Luckily, there are methods to prevent or lessen these effects.

How to Prevent Thinning Eyelashes

Why Are My Eyelashes Getting Thin?

There are many reasons that your eyelashes may get thinner or shorter. Usually, when eyelashes fall out, they simply grow back. But as you get older, you may find that your lashes are taking longer to grow back. In some cases, they may not grow back at all. 

Aging and menopause can be a direct reason for this, thanks to changing hormones and imbalances that may thin hair. You may also be allergic to certain skin care products or mascara, which can cause lashes to fall out. If you are a regular user of fake eyelashes or eyelash extensions, this can have a traumatic effect on your lashes. Failing to remove makeup properly or scrubbing your eye area too hard can also cause fall-out.

What You Can Do to Prevent or Repair Eyelash Loss

There are many available treatments for eyelash loss on the market today. You can invest in several mascara systems that will temporarily enhance the look of your lashes. Many women also choose to use fake lashes or get lash extensions at the salon for a short-term solution.
