Effortless Eyes: Eyelash Extensions for Mature Skin

by Nicole Flevaris, founder & president of The Lashe 

Eyelash extensions can be a great option for mature skin as they can enhance the eyes and make the face appear more youthful and refreshed. They are a quick, easy, and affordable way to enhance natural beauty without the need for knives, needles, or incisions. Not only are eyelash extensions a noninvasive alternative to surgical procedures, but they also offer numerous benefits that make them a better choice for those looking to enhance their appearance. They have much lower risks and minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures, and they can be applied in a matter of hours with no recovery time needed.

EFFECT ON APPEARANCE

Eyelash extensions can provide a boost of confidence to those who may have lost some of the fullness and definition in their eyelashes over time. By adding volume, length, and curl, extensions can draw attention to the eyes, making them look more youthful and awake. Additionally, unlike makeup, eyelash extensions do not smudge or smear, making them a great option for those with mature skin who want a low-maintenance beauty routine.

EXTENSION TYPE

For mature skin, it may be best to choose a more natural-looking eyelash extension, such as mink or silk, that is lighter and less dense than synthetic lashes. This reduces the risk of irritation or damage to the delicate skin around the eyes. It is also important to choose an adhesive that is gentle and safe for mature skin and to have the extensions applied with a lighter touch to minimize the risk of damaging the natural eyelashes. Additionally, the placement and application of eyelash extensions can be tailored to enhance specific features and improve the overall balance of the face. For example, placing extensions on the outer corners of the eyes can give a lifting effect, making the eyes appear more open and awake.
