How long does the life cycle of an eyelash last? For all the useful info, we tell you everything.

Between make-up and make-up removal, our lashes are often put to the test. They can even fall out prematurely. Eyelashes are a very important part of the body, as their role is to protect the eye from external aggression, but also to enlarge the eyes and magnify the face. Eyelashes are very similar to hair in their composition and the way they develop. Like hair, eyelashes can sometimes fall out, either due to their life cycle or to various external factors.

How long does an eyelash last?

The life cycle of an eyelash

The life cycle of an eyelash is divided into 3 phases. First, there's the growth phase. This is when the lashes grow. The growth phase , or anagen, is when the speed of lash growth is exponential. This is followed by the catagen phase, which lasts an average of two to three weeks. During this period, the roots of the old lashes begin to die. Here, growth declines considerably and may even come to a halt. The telogen phase is the final phase. This is the stage during which the old lash falls out, giving way to new roots.

The lifespan of an eyelash

When it comes to the lifespan of an eyelash, many schools and beliefs diverge. In any case, the total life cycle of an eyelash lasts between 2 and 4 months. Depending on the individual, eyelash life may be shorter or longer.

Use rosegold ROSELASH lash serum to capitalize on lash growth

Eyelashes can fall out for a number of reasons. Repeated and excessive use of make-up, for example. Poor make-up removal, unhealthy eating habits and stress. ROSELASH Lash Growth Serum works to bring shine and thickness to lashes. What's more, once you've got naturally long, beautiful lashes, you can skip the mascara step and let your lashes breathe.

How to use eyelash serum

The serum should be used during the anagen (growth) phase. In fact, its use boosts this growth stage by providing the necessary nutrients and active ingredients such as biotin and keratin.

Pour la perte des cils

Eyelash loss is inevitable. As explained above, eyelash loss is a natural part of the growth process. The serum is not designed to prevent eyelash loss, but rather to accelerate the growth phase, increasing the volume and size of the lashes by strengthening the hair shaft.

The influence of eyelash serum

Note that the effectiveness of ROSELASH Eyelash Extender Serum depends on individual predispositions. If you have naturally sparse eyelashes that don't grow quickly, you won't see the same results as someone with full lashes who may grow faster at the same rate of use. Some will see results after just one week , while others may have to wait a little longer...

This particularity of growth is linked to the anagen phase, during which a very large proportion of the eyelashes are replaced. Since the growth phase differs from one individual to another, growth will not be different in everyone. What's more, ROSELASH Eyelash Regrowth Serum can't prevent the loss of eyelashes associated with their life cycle, and no serum can claim to have this super power. As we've said, eyelash loss is a completely natural phenomenon. With ROSELASH eyelash serum, lashes will still fall out during the telogen phase, but this won't necessarily be noticeable, as they'll be growing faster. The serum doesn't disrupt your lashes' lifespan, let alone their cycle. It simply boosts their growth and their content of vitamins, proteins and other essential elements needed to stimulate growth.

A few additional tips to limit the loss of your eyelashes

The evolution of eyelashes is a well-established phenomenon. They have their own mechanism that no one can change. Lashes fall naturally, as part of the growth process. However, there are several other causes that could accelerate the loss of your eyelashes outside the falling phase. Note that these tips will have a greater effect if used in conjunction with ROSELASH Eyelash Serum.

Eat a healthy, balanced diet

- To accelerate eyelash growth and limit eyelash loss, diet must be your first ally. To do this, you need to consume fruit, vegetables, vitamins and minerals on a regular basis.

- Hydration is something you shouldn't neglect. It's important to drink plenty of water. This will keep your lashes perfectly hydrated, which will limit breakage.

Don't sleep with your mascara on

To avoid considerable lash loss, never sleep with mascara (or make-up for that matter) on. Mascara clings to the lashes, making them heavier and more susceptible to breakage. 

Remove your make-up gently

Make-up removal is an essential step for all make-up wearers. But it must be done gently, especially around the eyes, to avoid damaging the (already fragile) lashes! Too much rubbing can cause lashes to fall out prematurely. So can using the wrong make-up remover. For this sensitive area, we recommend an appropriate make-up remover, without aggressive agents.
