To use eyelash growth serum, wipe any excess product off the brush, then apply it once per eye, gently wiping off any excess serum from your eyelids or lashes.
Here's a breakdown of the typical application process:
- Prepare your Eyelids: Ensure your eyelids are clean and free of makeup. Remove any eye makeup with a gentle cleanser.
- Prepare the Applicator: Most eyelash growth serums come with a small brush applicator, similar to a liquid eyeliner brush. Remove the applicator from the tube and carefully wipe off any excess serum on the edge of the tube or on a clean tissue. This prevents the serum from dripping into your eye.
- Application: Apply a thin line of the serum along the base of your upper eyelashes, similar to how you would apply liquid eyeliner. Focus on the skin at the base of the lashes, not the lashes themselves.
- Avoid the Lower Lash Line: Typically, you only apply the serum to the upper lash line. Applying to the lower lash line may increase the risk of irritation or unwanted hair growth.
- Use Sparingly: A little goes a long way. Applying too much serum can increase the risk of irritation or other side effects.
- Frequency: Most serums are applied once daily, usually at night, after you've completed your skincare routine. Check the specific product instructions for the recommended frequency.
- Consistency: Eyelash growth serums require consistent use to see results. It may take several weeks or even months to notice a significant difference in lash length and thickness.
Important Considerations:
- Read the Instructions: Always read and follow the specific instructions that come with your eyelash growth serum.
- Potential Side Effects: Be aware of potential side effects, such as eye irritation, redness, darkening of the eyelid skin, or unwanted hair growth. If you experience any of these side effects, discontinue use and consult with a doctor.
- Contact Lenses: If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the serum and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
- Consult a Doctor: If you have any pre-existing eye conditions, consult with a doctor before using eyelash growth serum.
