Eyebrows, like hair, lose density over time, lose density over time.. "This is due to aging, hormonal changes and factors such as stress or lack of nutrients. The follicles produce thinner hairs and in smaller quantity, reducing the density over the years," explains to this header the chemist and cosmetologist Arturo Alba. To prevent this, in addition to avoiding over-epilation the desire to show off a super-thin eyebrows in the '90s was not a good idea, I can attest there are certain infallible recommendations to minimize this loss of density and to optically thicken the eyebrows and enhance their definition.
Both Arturo Alba and Monica Ceño, founder of The Lab Room beauty center (famous, among other things, for its specialization in eyebrows), confirm that the remains of fixing gels or makeup can weaken the hair follicle and accelerate the loss of density. That's why it's so important to remove makeup residue, minimize the use of fixative products as much as possible and nourish the eyebrow hair every night. "It is still a hair fiber that also fulfills very important protective functions and deserves rigorous care. Use strengthening serums with biotin or peptides, and moisturize the eyebrows with natural oils such as castor oil. castor oil. If the loss is excessive, consult a dermatologist who can recommend specific treatments. With good care, it is possible to slow down this process," explains Alba. For all these reasons, when it comes to fixing eyebrows, Ceño opts for wax products that give volume when deposited on the hair without having to resort to gels that can damage the hair follicle.
This is The Lab Room's house trick, especially for all those women who want to look thick and defined but without the need for makeup. It involves using a creamy concealer or highlighter under the brow, right on the bone underneath. "By applying it underneath the eyebrow following its natural line and then blurring it, it optically lifts and makes the design look more polished and defined and the eyebrow more highlighted," explains Monica Ceño. You can do the same above the eyebrow following its natural path, but it is essential that the concealer is a similar tone to the color of the skin on the eyelid and blend it very well with a brush so that it is integrated.
Eyebrows are hair and as such benefit from a balanced diet in which there is no lack of nutrients related to hair growth such as vitamins A, B, C and E, minerals and omega 3 oil. Eyebrows remember that it is important to eat eggs for their high content of protein and biotin and kefir with chia seeds for the presence of zinc, iron and protein.
