What special eyelash care can do – serums with and without hormones
Unfortunately, only a few people are naturally blessed with super eyelashes. However, eyelash serums give everyone else hope: the selection of eyelash-lengthening products is large. However, the serums often contain local hormones such as prostaglandins, which achieve the desired effect but can also cause side effects. In addition to relatively harmless consequences such as itching or red eyes, serums containing prostaglandins can also lead to, among other things, corneal and conjunctivitis, headaches and eye pain or, in rare cases, even retinal bleeding. An alternative? Hormone-free products like the eyelash elixir from REFLECTIVES®. TheEyelash growth serumis based on aloe vera and is therefore perfect for sensitive eyes and provides the eyelashes with an extra portion of moisture thanks to biotin, panthenol and hyaluronic acid. Another plus point: the product does not contain parabens, which are discussed to have a hormonal effect.

Make-up is a matter of taste. Nevertheless, for most women it is: “Without mascara, without me!” Inked eyelashes give a awake look and, depending on the product, more volume, more length, more curl - or all at the same time.

Beauty sleep for your eyelashes: eyelash care for the night
After your eyelashes have been the center of attention all day long, they should definitely be relieved before going to sleep. Just like our skin, eyelashes don't particularly like sleeping under a layer of makeup. If you go to bed with mascara on, you risk clogging the tiny pores from which eyelashes sprout. This makes healthy eyelash growth more difficult - and eyelash care remains nothing but wasted labor of love. In addition, the eyelashes themselves are affected by the make-up layer and can break off, for example if you brush your face against the pillow while sleeping. That's why it's important to remove all makeup residue from mascara, eye shadow, etc.
