eyebrows and eyelashes

slg76

Not exactly fitness related but I don't see a board for body issues after cancer, which seems odd.

I am five years post chemo and am 39 years old. My eyebrows and eyelashes are pretty pathetic and never grew all the way back in. When I look in the mirror I feel like my brows and lashes make me look older and a little sick (I think because it reminds me of when I was sick). Any tips for making them grow any better and/or look fuller? I use mascara and eyebrow filer but it's just not the same.

Thanks to chemo for saving my life, but darn it for taking away my pretty eyes!

Try Biotin, I've been usingit and I think it's really helped especially with my eyebrows, nails and lashes

I have the same issues. The eyebrows are particularly vexing. My eyelashes have never been great but the eyebrows did not come back completely and the ones that grew are bristly and stick straight out. NOTHING will make them lay down. I've spent a fortune in products trying to tame them to no avail. It took a long time for my hair to come back fully so maybe they'll get better but in the meantime they are making me crazy.
