Natural recipe for lengthening eyelashes

Lengthening eyelashes Eyes are one of the most prominent features of a person’s face, and they are the first thing people see. What increases the beauty and charm of the eyes are long thick eyelashes. Therefore, many resort to using artificial eyelashes or mascara, but the growth of eyelashes can be increased to appear longer and thicker using natural home remedies. This substitutes for artificial mascara, and in this article, natural recipes, and tips for lengthening eyelashes.

Naturally Longer Lashes

Of course, there is a genetic aspect to long eyelashes, but that doesn’t mean that those without the lucky genes can’t increase their eyelash length.

I have a cousin who naturally has super-long dark eyelashes that look like extensions. My eyelashes are decently long but definitely not that dramatic, so I have been experimenting with natural ways to increase my eyelash length and thickness.

There does seem to be a connection between nutrition and hair health, so if a person isn’t getting enough fat soluble vitamins, b-vitamins, vitamin C, and collagen, eyelashes (and hair) can suffer.

Overuse of eye products, especially long-lasting mascaras or fake lashes can weaken lashes or lead to lash loss.

Natural Eyelash Extensions?

my homemade mascara , many people asked if there was a natural way to make fiber lash mascara or eyelash extensions. I’m yet to find a natural version of false eyelashes since most glues contain formaldehyde. Most fiber lash products also contain questionable ingredients.

What I did find, however, was a natural way to make lashes look as long as fake lashes using only natural ingredients.

These natural “eyelash extensions” use:

Castor oil – Natural source of Omega-6 fats, proteins, and vitamins that helps encourage dramatic hair growth Emu oil – “highly anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, penetrating, a transdermal carrier, promotes skin regeneration, non-comedogenic (does not clog pores), nourishing, anti-aging and bacteriastatic.” ( source Coconut oil Vitamin E oil Castor oil alone would give noticeable results, as it has been extremely helpful for lengthening and thickening my hair , but the addition of emu oil, coconut oil and vitamin E give this serum a wider range of fatty acids and nutrients to help speed eyelash growth.

Christa of The Whole Journey recommends adding 1 drop of lavender essential oil to mascara to speed eyelash growth. I haven’t tried this yet, but it could be added to this serum for additional benefit ( just always use caution and do your own research when using essential oils Print Pin 3.94 from 108 votes
