Swimsuit season is here! And, according to every magazine cover out there, it’s time to focus on our diets in order to achieve that ever-popular bikini body. There’s no question that living a healthy lifestyle is important and we should all be eating a well-balanced diet, but did you know there are actually foods you can eat to promote longer, stronger lashes?

Protein: Proteins and nutrients are essential in growing fuller, healthier lashes. Salmon is an especially great choice loaded with protein and fish oil full of omega-3 fatty acids that can stimulate your lash, nail and hair growth.

Iron: Adequate amounts of iron in your daily diet can help build stronger lashes which reduces the risk of breaking. Common iron rich foods include spinach, red meat and fortified grains. A salad for lunch can go a long way!

Vitamin B: Part of a healthy group of vitamins, Vitamin B has proven to also help promote healthy hair growth. This specific vitamin can improve weak, brittle lashes and make them stronger which will help support your lash extensions.

The bottom line is that healthy, natural lashes are essential for supporting eyelash extensions. If diet alone isn’t enough to help make your lashes stronger, there are a variety of strengthening serums on the market you can use for healthy lash growth.
