One of the main tricks is by soaking the mascara tube in warm water. Simply place the tightly closed mascara tube in a cup filled with hot water for a few minutes. This process will help to soften the dried mascara texture so that you can use it comfortably. Make sure to gently dry the tube after this process is finished.

"If the mascara is still too thick after soaking it in warm water, you can try adding one or two drops of a safe makeup remover solution into the mascara tube. This solution will help thin out the mascara texture without making it too watery. After adding the drops, rub the mascara tube between your palms for a few moments to mix it evenly."

In addition to the cleansing solution, you can also use a little bit of coconut oil or other occlusive oil to help soften dry mascara. Apply a small amount of oil on the lash line before applying mascara. This will help improve the texture of the mascara and provide some additional layers of color when used.

"Finally, make sure to properly store the mascara when not in use. Avoid pumping the mascara excessively, as this can accelerate the drying process of the product. It is advisable to store the mascara in an upright position and ensure that the tube is tightly closed to prevent air from entering. Source: Byrdie."
