Your eyelashes are a big part of who you are and you could make the argument that even that is an understatement. While having long lashes (or fake ones at that) aren’t necessarily the biggest thing when it comes to beauty and makeup, some people can look like entirely different individuals when they have longer lashes, and typically for the better. It is for this reason alone that fake eyelashes have pretty much become the norm for most women of all walks of life as it pertains to making yourself look better whether it be for a date, job interview, or your day-to-day life. However, some women actually don’t need to wear these fake eyelashes as they naturally have much longer eyelashes than the average person. Are these individuals just blessed with great genetics or are they actively doing something to achieve these beautifully long eyelashes naturally?
Here are ways to promote healthy and beautiful eyelashes naturally
8- Green Tea
Take advantage of the beneficial properties of green tea, such as flavonoids. Dip a cotton ball in green tea and smear it over the eyelashes. The tea will stimulate growth and help clean the follicles, allowing for more substantial growth to occur.
7- Clean Diet
Nutritional shortcomings can lead to unhealthy hair and eyelash, as mentioned above. Out of the junk, choose a diet full of healthy foods. Reduction or removal of refined sugar, gluten, and fast foods will reduce inflammation of the entire body, promote clear and healthy skin. Also, keep hydrated, drink plenty of water every day, and at least half your weight in oz.
6- Naturally, remove makeup
see It is essential for your eyes to breathe in the night to remove all makeup. It can irritate your skin, even cause an eye infection if you get to sleep with makeup. The mascara will dry up and break your eyelashes at night. Furthermore, it will attract dirt and bacteria if you have dried the mascara on your lashes. Use coconut oil or organic clothing removers to remove all your makeup every night (you can even make your natural makeup pads). Healthy lashes can develop much quicker than unhealthy lashes.
5- Castor Oil
Castor oil helps eyelashes grow and can also fight bacteria that stops them from growing. Take a clean brush and put castor oil on your lashes before going to bed. You can add some Vitamin E oil before putting it on. Leave the oil overnight and rinse it off in the morning. You can also mix two tablespoons of castor oil with two spoons of aloe vera gel. Put it on your eyelashes using cotton swabs. Once again, you’ll want to leave this mixture on your lashes overnight until rinsing it off in the morning. Try either of these methods for 2-3 months.
4- Olive Oil
Olive oil can nourish your eyelashes and make them grow thicker. It also helps keep the eyelashes dark. Here’s how – dip a clean, old mascara stick or cotton swab in warm olive oil. Before you go to bed, put the oil on your lashes like you would put on mascara and leave it on overnight before rinsing it off in the morning. Do this everyday for up to 3 months until you’re happy with the results.
3- Aloe Vera
A great way to grow your eyelashes is using aloe vera because it has a lot of vitamins and minerals. It will also keep your lashes nice and moist. Before bed, put fresh aloe vera on your lashes with a clean mascara stick. Once again, you’ll want to leave it on overnight before rinsing it off overnight. Or, you could potentially mix one tablespoon of aloe vera gel, one tablespoon of jojoba oil, and one teaspoon of chamomile infusion. Put this mixture on your eyelashes two times a day and leave it on for 15 minutes before washing it off with warm water. Follow either of these methods every day for a few months to notice results.
2- Egg
Because eggs have a lot of protein, they are very good for growing thicker eyelashes. They also have vitamins that helps the feel of your eyelashes. Beat one egg and one tablespoon of glycerin into a thick, creamy mixture. Put it on your eyelashes using a cotton swab and leave it on for 15 – 30 minutes before washing it off with cold water. Do this 3 times a week until results are optimal.
1- Brushing
Stimulate growth and promote healthy lashes by brushing your lashes twice a day with a lash comb. Brushing helps to distribute the natural oils along the length of your lashes to help keep them strong.
