5 Tips To Keep Your Lashes Working On Lockdown

Posted: 17 Apr 2020 11:11 AM PDT

Lash whisperer, Sarah Maxwell provides her top five tips to nurture your lashes so you will emerge from this lockdown looking your very best.

You're stuck at home, unable to book an appointment with your favorite lash artist. Your last set is barely hanging on, or that lift you were so proud of is losing its shape. Thankfully, social distancing doesn't mean your lashes can't get the love they deserve.

Here are five things you can do at home to create a strong, healthy foundation for your favorite lash service. If you follow these tips, you'll come out of this isolation with longer, thicker, natural lashes that will make your lash artist proud, and probably result in the most dramatic full set you've even had.

1. Let Go of the Remnants

If you still have pesky extensions hanging on for dear life, it's time to let them go. Use a small amount of castor oil (or coconut oil) on a clean mascara wand. Roll from the top of the lash line through toward the tips to safely remove the extensions without professional help. Do this at night before bed, and the oil will loosen the adhesive so that you can remove the lashes when you wash your face in the morning.

2. Clean Your Lashes Every Day

A simple routine can be cathartic and help maintain structure in your day, and no lash care regimen is complete without a good daily cleaning. Find a soft foaming cleanser that you love and lather up your lashes each day. I prefer to do mine at night before bed, but you can do it whenever you have the time.

3. Use a Growth Serum with Natural Ingredients

Your lashes have a natural growth cycle that varies with each lash, so when some lashes are ending their cycle, others are just coming into their full length. Many lash growth serums use artificial or prescription ingredients that alter that cycle, resulting in gaps or inconsistencies in the lash line. Find a serum that uses natural plant extracts that have been clinically proven to stimulate new hair growth. Apply it to your lashes (and brows) every day, and you should start to see results within 2-3 weeks. By the time we're all released from lockdown, you could see as much as 75% more natural length.

4. Add Keratin

Eyelashes are composed of 95% keratin, which is a structural protein that strengthens the lash and protects the cells from damage and stress. If you wear extensions frequently, your lashes are carrying a lot of extra weight, and they're probably experiencing some damage after so many nights of glam. You'll want to use a lash conditioner that maximizes the amount of keratin your lashes can use to repair themselves. Even on healthy lashes, the additional keratin will supplement the natural polypeptide chains in your lashes, making them much stronger. You could see up to 45% thicker lashes, and your next set of extensions will feel light as a feather.

5. Use a Hydrating Mascara

We may not venturing out into the world as much, but we still want to look cute on those Zoom meetings and FaceTime calls, and mascara is a quick way to do that. Just be sure that your mascara isn't hurting the rest of your progress by drying out your lashes. If your lashes feel stiff and hard, exchange it for a smoother, lighter formula that contains a hydrating ingredient like Aloe Vera to give your growing follicles some extra TLC. The camera will love the slick, no- makeup look.

Renowned makeup artist Sarah Maxwell

Sarah Maxwell specifically created the Livylash DAILY LASH RITUAL to support lash health in all these ways. While we're taking a break from the outside world, it's the perfect time to give your lashes the spa treatment they deserve. All of the products are non-toxic, and paraben free, and they were developed to be an effective and safe lash-growth system that neither irritates your eyes, nor exposes you to the potential side- effects of prescription products.

Livylash LENGTH Growth Serum – Step one of the Livylash DAILY LASH RITUAL. Nourish your lashes with natural plant extracts to stimulate new growth and encourage a longer, thicker, darker lash cycle. See results in as little as 2-3 weeks when used with Livylash LAYER keratin conditioning treatment. The exclusive doe-foot applicator allows for easy application across the entire lash line.

Livylash LAYER Keratin Conditioning Treatment – Step two of the Livylash DAILY LASH RITUAL. Fortify your cuticles and add a nourishing, hydrating layer, sealing in the essential vitamins and restoring your lashes to their youthful, natural state. The Keratin in Livylash LAYER mimics the natural polypeptide chains in your lashes, bonding to the rough edges of individual lashes, covering the cuticle, repairing any damage, and promoting strength.

Livylash LAVISH Sculpting Mascara – Step three of the Livylash DAILY LASH RITUAL. Sculpt, refine, and separate your healthy lashes with this smooth, lightweight mascara. Featuring Sarah's precision mascara wand, this flexible, clump-free formula allows for a detailed application that will enhance your lashes all day long.

Livylash LAUNDER Lid and Lash Cleanser – Not included in the DAILY LASH RITUAL set, but available as part of the Livylash line. This gentle foaming cleanser is safe on lash lifts and lash extensions. Its formulated with chamomile and witch hazel to effectively remove eye makeup while maintaining your skin's natural pH balance. Leaves your lashes SQUEAKY CLEAN.

YOGA BY MARTA; THE SLEEPING PIGEON POSE

Posted: 17 Apr 2020 04:57 AM PDT

Asanas, Yoga postures, sleeping pigeon pose

We proudly present our very own in-house Yoga teacher MARTA!! Since Yoga is in her blood, we thought it would be a nice idea to let her tell you some more about the benefits of certain yoga postures, as we can all do with a little inspiration in these challenging times!

¨I have chosen the postures that seem to me to be the simplest and most accessible to almost everyone, and which also represent the essence of classic Hatha Yoga.¨

Today´s suggestion is the Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (Sleeping Pigeon Pose)
This is a very comfortable asana and it provides significant and long-lasting benefits, it can even be performed by beginners but there are some things to bear in mind: you should listen carefully to your body whilst performing this asana, don't try to go beyond your capability and be gentle with your body. If you suffer from high or low blood pressure, migraines, insomnia, or any serious lower back or neck injury then you should avoid this asana.

This pose also provides emotional benefits by boosting self-confidence and sense of self-love.

But in addition…

It opens up the hip joint and provides flexibility to the body.
Helps in lengthening the hip flexor.
Offers an excellent stretch to the thighs, gluteals and piriformis muscles which tones the lower body.
Stimulates the internal organs.
Helps in reducing substantial pain in the lower back and stiffness throughout the body.

I hope you enjoy it!

With love,
Marta.

YOGA BY MARTA; THE DANDASANA POSE

Posted: 17 Apr 2020 04:23 AM PDT

¨I have chosen the postures that seem to me to be the simplest and most accessible to almost everyone, and which also represent the essence of classic Hatha Yoga.¨

Before explaining the Dandasana pose, I would like to say something else. We here in Spain are already in the 5^th week of our isolation caused by the COVID 19 pandemic, an isolation that we have no idea how long it will still last, an isolation that has separated us, that has created fear and uncertainty. For this reason, I would like to offer a piece of advice in addition to a yoga pose if I may.

Don´t let those negative feelings take over, feelings which of course are perfectly normal, recognize them and then try and park them, don´t cling on to them. Let´s take advantage of this current situation and try and take the good from it.

And so, I invite you over this next period of time, while we are forced to stay at home, to create a time and space just FOR YOU, a space with no specific objectives. Choose a time of day (mornings tend to be preferable), light a candle if you like to create a more intimate atmosphere and sit in any comfortable position in silence for a few moments (eyes closed or open, you decide), just stay there, in silence, creating a space in which to connect with your body, with your sensations, with your breath, and just be, simply be, and when your body asks you to start moving, then gently, little by little, start to mobilize the whole body with some postures. Take it easy, choose simple postures (like the ones I am proposing in my blogs) or more complex ones if you feel comfortable, on the internet you have endless sources of information.

And well, regardless of the postures you do and the direct benefits you get from them, the greatest benefits of all will come from creating YOUR space of silence every day, of having some alone time, of letting go, of switching off from the news, the noise, our own internal conversations that exhaust and keep us on a constant journey to the past and future, bringing us only uneasiness and restlessness. Create YOUR space to connect with wholeness, with love, with the certainty that everything will be fine.

Today I have chosen the DANDASANA POSE (Staff Pose or Base Pose). As you can see in the picture this pose might look straightforward, but there’s more to Staff Pose than meets the eye!

Just as Tadasana, or Mountain Pose, is the foundation for all standing poses, Dandasana (Dahn-DAH-suh-nuh), or Staff Pose, is the foundation for all seated poses. It establishes the patterns of muscular engagement, alignment, and breathing that will inform every other pose that is to come once you get down to the floor in your yoga practice.

It is also a powerful pose in its own right and is surprisingly difficult to hold for extended periods of time.

It helps to build both strength and active flexibility.
Strengthens the back muscles
Stretches the shoulders and chest
Improves posture

Chin up! Everything will be fine!

With Love
Marta.
