How do women's eyelashes change with Age?

How do eyelashes change with age?

Have you ever wondered what happens to eyelashes with age. Well, a recent study set out to examine changes in eyelashes among 179 Asian, Hispanic, White, East Indian and Black women women between ages 22 and 65.  

Key points of the study:

The authors found that THREE parameters DECREASE with age:

1) eyelash length

2) eyelash thickness

3) eyelash darkness  

 Comment

This simple yet well helpful study confirms what women tell us: their eyelashes change with age. Cosmetic product such as bimatoprost (Latisse) can enhance eyelash length and thickness and sometimes darkness as well.
