Thinning of eyelashes and eyebrows is a very common phenomenon. There have been times when many people look in the mirror and find that somewhere more eyebrow or eyelash seems to have left.

However, if your loose eyebrows do not allow you to maintain such beautiful eyebrows, you may want to turn to these natural tips.
If you’ve already noticed that your eyebrows or lashes have started to come off even more, there may be several reasons for this, which we’ll cover next. However, you can rest assured that almost always this kind of facial hair loss is temporary and can also be curbed with the right kind of treatment. So keep reading if you want to prevent your eyebrows and lashes from coming off too much!
1. What causes the release of your eyebrows and eyelashes?
As we mentioned earlier, more loosening of eyelashes or eyebrows is almost always temporary. However, it is important to find out first what causes the shedding in more detail so that you can choose the treatment that is right for you. Here are some possible reasons for excessive detachment of your eyebrows and eyelashes.
Stress
There are times when you feel more stressed than normal. Your metabolism changes and your body’s cortisol levels fluctuate. This greatly affects the functions of your body and it is common to notice annoying detachment in the eyelashes and eyebrows.
Eczema or local dermatitis
In the case of eczema, the problem is more serious and requires the intervention of a dermatologist. Eczema is a disease that usually causes chronic redness, itching and discomfort of the skin. It often affects the eyelids area, causing even more loosening of the eyelashes and eyebrows. Above all, take the advice of your doctor for help, as eczema should be treated with the right kind of medication – this way you can also curb more loose lashes or eyebrows.
Be careful when removing hair
Here we are referring to plucking or waxing the hair, i.e. trimming the eyebrows. When the hair is removed from the roots, it takes a long time to grow back and in fact it can take up to two weeks. So you should be careful when plucking your corners. The corners should also not be plucked too much. Keep in mind that skin hairs only grow back a certain number of times before they eventually disappear completely – so if you prick your eyebrows very much, you could cause them to disappear from your face over the years.
Certain medicines
Some medications, for example to treat arthritis, may cause hair loss on the lashes or corners. If you are unsure about the possible side effects of the medicines you are taking, contact your doctor – you really should be aware of the contents of the medicines prescribed to you.
Changes in metabolism
As you reach a more mature age, one of the consequences is a slowing of your metabolism, making some small imbalances more likely to occur. These imbalances may cause hair loss, as the hair follicles are less stimulated than before. As a result, hair growth slows down and eyelashes, for example, tend to fall faster than they grow back.
2. How can eyebrows and eyelashes be avoided?
This is how you take care of your eyebrows
Increase your daily intake of minerals like folic acid and sulfur. Also, make sure you get enough vitamins A, B3 and E. The following are examples of foods from which you get a good amount of these nutrients:
- Beer yeast
- Egg
- Turkey
- Carrot
- Broccoli
- Onion
- Peach
- Paprika
Rosemary Oil and Castor Oil: Both oils are easy to find in both regular grocery stores and stores specializing in natural products. All you have to do is dip a cotton swab in oil and rub your eyebrows every morning and evening. If you repeat this daily, you will be able to stimulate the growth of your eyebrows in a natural way.
Different treatments for eyelashes
- Rub your lashes with olive oil: you can take this treatment just before going to bed. Moisten a cotton swab with olive oil and then brush your eyelashes in the area of the hair follicles. Very easy!
- Vaseline: When you get home in the evening, you should first remove all mascara and other makeup from your eyes and lashes. Then put a little Vaseline on your lashes and rub lightly. This stimulates the development of stronger and thicker eyelashes.
- Chamomile: What about a little chamomile tea to improve the condition of your lashes? Apply the following recipe:
Chamomile bath for eyelashes
- 1 bag of chamomile tea or 20 grams of dried herbs
- half a cup of water (100 ml)
This is how this treatment is implemented
Let the water boil and add chamomile. Let the tea simmer for 15 minutes and let it cool slightly. However, the liquid should still be warm when you put it on your eyelashes – moisten a cotton swab and brush your lashes with it. Repeat this treatment every day after you have removed your eye makeup.
- Castor oil: as you probably already know, castor oil is a great help in preventing hair thinning as it promotes hair growth. All you have to do is follow an easy routine – put a few drops of castor oil on a cotton pad every night before going to bed and then gently apply it to your eyelashes. In just a few weeks, you will notice the difference. This treatment is really an effective help in improving the condition of the lashes!
