Why is it so important that your eyelash and eyebrow cosmetics do not have prostaglandin?
Remember that eyelash or eyebrow serums with prostaglandin are not suitable if you want to take care of your face with natural products.
These serums with prostaglandin can cause some very annoying, even serious side effects, such as redness and swelling of the eyes, itching and irritation, dry eyes and discomfort. They can also cause darkening of the eyelid or circles under the eye, which are recognized as the common “panda eyes.”
The vast majority of serums to lengthen and strengthen eyelashes are formulated with prostaglandin and therefore are products that cause long-term unwanted effects. Generally, when starting a treatment with cosmetics that includes prostaglandin, it provides good results initially, but in the long run it causes side effects such as eye irritation and increased pigmentation of the iris. The unwanted consequences can go further with this type of treatment, causing the weakening of natural eyelashes and even accelerating loss and scarring of the eyelid follicles, which leads us to completely and permanently lose our natural eyelash.
What is prostaglandin that is included in cosmetics for eyelashes and eyebrows?
They are synthetic, hormone-like compounds that are structurally similar to a natural substance called prostaglandins. Natural prostaglandins help regulate various processes in the body, including inflammation and lipid production.
Actually, the appearance on the market of synthetic prostaglandins has its origins in a drug created to improve and treat glaucoma. Although the function of prostaglandins is essentially medical, during their peak, the cosmetic industry began to use them as a cosmetic ingredient when it was detected that a side effect of this medication was that the eyelashes of these patients appeared, with the passage of time. months, more populated, black and long.
Although the eyelash growth effect is visible, the use of prostaglandins and their derivatives, known as prostaglandin analogues, generate many negative effects on consumers, something that glaucoma patients, faced with the danger of losing their vision, are aware of. willing to suffer, but in healthy people, and according to our criteria, the danger of these substances are absolutely inadvisable to achieve an aesthetic effect that in many cases become other irreversible problems.
Therefore, we must understand that prostaglandin is not, nor should it be, an ingredient for cosmetic use but rather for medical use and that is why in the United States they began to prohibit cosmetics that contained it, because its side effects can be serious. As we have already said, increased pigmentation of the iris and irreversible changes in the color of the skin around the eye are the most common, but there are many more, and of course there are obvious contraindications for pregnant women.
In 2011, the FDA banned the sale of these eyelash products without a prescription. But in Europe, we are much slower in terms of consumer defense against cosmetic products and its ban is being delayed although there are many of us who will warn of its massive use in cosmetic products for eyelashes and eyebrows.
That is why, at Emocosmética, we have created “Immense Look" prostaglandin free, which is born with an exquisitely natural and effective formula.
And to keep your eyelashes healthy, shiny and full, we offer you some easy tips in this post:
-Use “Immense Look” at night, every day or every other day to nourish them and keep them healthy.
-If you use mascara, don't forget to remove your makeup well at the end of the day: the hardening mascara can cause premature loss. For this it is best to use a biphasic makeup remover such as Nectar of Fortune.
-Brush them often. Even if you don't put makeup on them, it's a good idea to stimulate and clean them by brushing them. A good way is to use a brush from a mascara that you no longer use. Clean it very well and stimulate its growth with small gentle touches.
-Avoid eyelash curlers because they generally bend, break and tear your eyelashes, damaging them and preventing their growth.
-The sun is not a good friend of eyelashes, so wearing sunglasses is an extraordinary habit that your eyelashes will appreciate.
-Rest well, and monitor your stress levels. As with hair, high levels of stress or anxiety cause premature loss of eyelashes and eyebrows.
-A healthy diet and regular exercise, among other routines, help reduce these levels and keep the body in perfect health.
Your eyelashes are part of your body, take careful care of your body, pamper yourself and your eyelashes will also look beautiful and healthy for longer.
