How to Condition Eyelashes
- 1). Do not go to sleep with eye makeup on. Wearing mascara for a long period of time, such as all day and overnight, can lead to breakage and damage of the lashes.
- 2). Remove your eye makeup using an eye makeup remover specially formulated for use on the eyes. Many eye makeup removers include a conditioning agent to keep your lashes from drying out.
- 3). Wash your hands to remove any contaminants before applying conditioner or product to your eyelashes. Clean your hands to reduce the risk of introducing bacteria into eye tissue.
- 4). Use Vaseline or a natural oil to condition your lashes before going to bed. Oils such as olive, castor and almond may be applied to the lashes before sleeping to condition during the night.
- 5). Purchase an over-the-counter eyelash conditioner if the desired results are not reached using Vaseline or oil. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and application.
