We all love the look of long, lifted lashes. Whether it’s from extensions, lifts, or layers of mascara. But, just like your skin and hair, your lashes can get tired too. If your lashes start feeling weak, brittle, or sparse, it might be time to give them a little rest and recovery.
Your lashes do a lot for you. They protect your eyes and help frame your face. Here’s how to tell when your lashes need a break and how to help them bounce back.

1: Your Lashes Look Thinner Than Usual
If your lash line doesn’t look as full as it used to, your natural lashes might be overworked. This can happen from frequent extensions, waterproof mascara, or harsh removal habits. When lashes shed faster than they grow, they start to look sparse.
How to help:
Take a short break from extensions or heavy mascara. Give your natural lashes time to breathe, and use Vellora Lash Serum daily to help condition and strengthen them as they recover.
2. You Notice More Lashes Falling Out
Seeing a few lashes on your pillow or makeup wipe is normal. Most people lose between one and five eyelashes per day. Losing clumps at a time or frequent fallout are signs your lashes are stressed. Constant curling, rubbing, or tugging can also weaken lash roots.
How to help:
Be gentle when removing makeup, and avoid rubbing your eyes. Switch to a lightweight, oil-free cleanser. Hydrating serums help reduce breakage and keep new lashes soft and flexible.
3. Your Lashes Feel Dry or Brittle
If your lashes feel rough or stiff, they might be lacking moisture. This often happens after repeated use of waterproof mascara or lash glue, which can strip away hydration.
How to help:
Skip waterproof formulas for a while and choose conditioning mascaras instead.
4. You’re Getting Frequent Fills or Lash Lifts
Too many back-to-back lash treatments can wear down your natural lashes. Extensions, tints, and lifts look beautiful, but lashes need downtime.
How to help:
Take a break from lash treatments. Focus on repairing your natural lashes to allow them to rest and recover. You want to let your lashes breathe and regain their natural resilience.
5. You’re Seeing Gaps Along Your Lash Line
If you spot small empty spaces or uneven growth, your lash follicles might need extra care. This is a sign your lashes are shedding faster than they can grow back.
How to help:
Avoid picking or rubbing your lash line. Keep your eyes clean and remove all makeup before bed.
How to Get Happy, Healthy Lashes
