Age Giveaway: Sparse Brittle Eyelashes

The cause: Frequent eye rubbing can trigger lashes to shed. Plus, nature's replenishing system slow down as we get older, leaving us with fewer lashes that don't stick around that long. And those weak, brittle ends? Old mascara is likely culprit, since most formulas cake up and are hard to remove.

The cure: Try OTC remedies such as RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner, which can harness the strengthening power of peptides to improve resiliency. To prevent breakage, replace mascara every 90 days and use gentle remover each night to take off all eye makeup.
