If you are a woman, make a mental note to look at the eyelashes of your guy friends and/or boyfriend. Typically, their lashes will far outshine that of any woman past the age of 18 despite their attempts for long, luscious Bambi-inspired lashes. Why?

All that mascara gooping, eyelash curling, eyelash extensions, fake eyelashes and glue has essentially made eyelashes quite lovely in the short-term while damaging them in the long-term. According to Alan Rockoff, MD, of The Rockoff Dermatology Center in Brookline, Mass., “In general, traumatizing follicles won't destroy them, but they can thin somewhat over time of you keep messing with them.”

Short of giving up the eyelash curler and tube mascara, which sounds pretty much like the worst idea I’ve heard all day, or opting for LATISSE that was just approved for lash growth by the FDA, is there a more natural way to improve appearance and length?

If I can keep up with the consistency of adding a new product to my nighttime regime, I think neuLash might do the trick. After receiving a tube of it ($150.00 for a three-month supply), I decided I would do a 30-day trial and see if I notice anything. Skin Research Laboratories out of Chatsworth created the product, and it’s chock full of ingredients for all elements of long, fuller lashes. By December 16, I hope so.
