Lash Care and Health

National Lash Day is an ideal moment to get up to speed on caring for your lashes, and to commit to a regular lash care routine.

Eyelashes not only protect our eyes, but they also help us feel beautiful – especially when they’re lush, healthy, and dramatic-looking. And lashes need proper care to look and feel their best.

As the beauty industry’s lash experts, we know a thing or two about what lashes require to reach their full potential. Here’s what we recommend to keep your natural lashes looking healthy and beautiful:

  1. A Gentle Makeup Remover: Choose an oil-free, residue-free, micellar water makeup remover designed to be gentle and nourishing to lashes. Never rub harshly while removing makeup – rough treatment can damage your lashes.
  2. A Physician-Developed Lash Serum: A lash serum conditions and strengthens your lashes, helping them achieve a lusher, healthier appearance. Because it’s used near your eyes, the lash serum you choose should be safety tested and developed by a physician – like our RevitaLash® Advanced Eyelash Conditioner.

    Our formulas (which include a Sensitive option for irritation-prone users) are also ophthalmologist-reviewed, board-certified dermatologist-reviewed, and third-party safety tested. No wonder RevitaLash® Advanced is known worldwide as the gold standard of lash serums!

3. A Reparative Lash Treatment: If your lashes are damaged – whether from daily makeup usage or professional services like extensions or lash lifts – you can benefit from an ultra-nourishing, reparative treatment in addition to your lash serum. Our twice weekly Lash & Brow Masque restores hydration to lashes in just one 15-minute application, and continues to repair damaged hair over time.

4. A Water-Resistant (Not Waterproof) Mascara: Whether you prefer a volumizing or lengthening formula, choose a mascara that’s easy to remove so that you don’t damage or compromise your lashes in the process. Waterproof mascaras can be tough to take off and drying to lashes. Our Double-Ended Volume Set, on the other hand, offers conditioning benefits that improve your lashes’ strength and flexibility while you wear it.
