Beauty Q&A: How Can I Make My Lashes Grow Longer?

Are there any over-the-counter lash serums that can stimulate lash growth? 

While lash serums aren’t clinically proven to make lashes grow, they can help promote healthy hair growth by nourishing and hydrating them. “Look for ingredients such as castor oil, coconut oil, amino acids or vitamin E,” says Rashidi. One of our favorite lash serums is the Lancôme Cils Booster Lash Revitalizing Serum, which contains amino acids and helps prevent and repair lash damage. For a drugstore option, we also recommend the L'Oréal Paris Makeup Lash Serum Solution.

Are there any everyday habits that can help promote lash growth?

“Be gentle with your eyes!” says Rashidi. “Choose a gentle eye makeup remover or cleansing balm to help take off mascara — the less rubbing the better.” A great option is the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Cleanser & Waterproof Makeup Remover because it helps sweep away stubborn makeup with ease.
