What is a common effect of aging on eyelashes?

Increased length
Thinning
Color fading
Fullness

The correct answer is: Thinning

As individuals age, one common effect observed in eyelashes is thinning. This phenomenon occurs due to several factors associated with the aging process, such as hormonal changes, decreased hair follicle activity, and overall changes in skin and hair matrix. As a result, both the number of lashes and their individual thickness can diminish. In contrast, increased length typically does not occur with age, as lash growth cycles may slow down, and lashes may not reach the same full length as they did earlier in life. While color fading may happen to some eyelashes over time, this is not as universally noticeable as thinning. Fullness is generally affected negatively as well, as the reduction in the quantity of lashes contributes to a less voluminous appearance. Therefore, the thinning of eyelashes is a direct and commonly observable consequence of aging, making it the most accurate choice in this context.
