We love how lush brows and long lashes help frame and brighten our eyes, drawing attention to them and making them pop! But as we age, our brows and lashes become thinner, shorter and grayer — resulting in a lack of oomph that leaves us looking older than we are. To get back that natural appearance, check out these easy tricks for thickening those hairs and achieving a youthful you now and later.
Balding brows? Apply palmetto oil.
Stress, aging, and over-plucking all contribute to brow hair fallout, says brow expert Dani Kimiko Vincent. The easy solution? Apply a saw palmetto oil — like Nature’s Answer Saw Palmetto Extract (Buy from Amazon, $12.74) — onto brows twice a day. Phytosterols in the oil have been shown to improve hair density by 33 percent in three months, thickening brow hairs to “fill in” bald spots.
If you need a fast fix in the meantime, fill in brows using a kit that comes with stencils and a stamp-on tinted “filler.” Just hold the stencil over the brow, then stamp on the hair-matching color! One we like: Madluvv Brow Stamp Kit (Buy from Madluvv, $39).
Graying brows? Try an eyebrow dye.
Pesky grays are just as likely to pop up in our brows as they are on our head….
