Eyelashes
frame the eye and draw attention to the face, making eyes look even more
beautiful. But women of all ages become very self-conscious when their
eyelashes thin or they find lashes falling out. There are lots of artificial
ways to improve your eyelashes with mascara, false eyelashes or eyelashes
extensions, but often these things just make your real lashes even weaker, so here
are ten home remedies that will make your lashes grow and look longer, for
real:
Castor
oil
Amazingly,
one of the best home remedies and tips on how to make your eyelashes grow
longer is pure and simple, organic Castor oil. It can make your eyelashes
ticker, stronger and make them grow faster. To avoid getting a thick mess in
your eyes, apply Castor oil with a brush to your lashes and eyebrows when you
go to bed and leave on, and it will moisturize and encourage growth naturally.
Castor oil is also excellent for softening the lips, so if your lips
are dry and choppy, don’t forget to dab what’s left on your fingers
straight to your lips.
Vitamin
E
Another
trick on how to make your eyelashes grow longer is using Vitamin E. You
know that vitamin E is good for treating blemishes on your skin, but did you
know it will help your lashes to grow thicker too? Just break open a couple of
vitamin E and apply it to your lashes with a brush to nourish them and thicken
them up.
Natural
oils
Natural
oils can also help on how to make your eyelashes grow longer. You can
moisturize your lashes with one of these natural oils: olive oil, coconut oil,
avocado oil, sweet almond oil, linen oil, sesame oil, rosehip oil, argon oil or
burdock root oil. Just soak some oil (or oil blend) on a cotton wool ball and
wipe over your lashes before you go to bed. Wash off in the morning and the
natural oil will nourish, moisturize, improve the growth and keep your
lashes strong and healthy.
Green Tea
Green tea can be used on your lashes
as well. Make some green tea, let it cool and then swipe it over your lashes
with some cotton wool. The caffeine and flavonoids, found in green tea will
help maintain the growth of existing lashes and stimulate new growth too.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a wonderful home remedy
that can be used for various purposes. If you want to nourish your eyelashes
and make them grow, apply some fresh Aloe Vera gel straight to your lashes
before going to bed, using a clean mascara wand, the same way as you apply
mascara. Thanks to vitamins and powerful nutrients, Aloe Vera gel will improve
the growth of your eyelashes and make them stronger.
Avoid using fake eyelashes
Another tip on how to make your
eyelashes grow longer and thicker is – avoid fake lashes. Using fake lashes or
eyelashes extensions might be a quick fix to the problem, but longer-term, it
will only damage your lashes further. When you take them off you are likely to
remove some of your real lashes as well, so it is best to avoid fake lashes
altogether, or use them only when it’s absolutely necessary.
Remove all makeup at night
The longer your lashes are free from
makeup, then the better they will grow. Always remove all your eye makeup at
night time, to give your lashes a chance to breathe or, even better, remove it
as soon as you get home.
Eat
Healthy
Eating healthy and balanced diet is
another important tip on how to make your eyelashes grow longer, thicker and
stronger. Just like your hair, your lashes need a good supply of vitamins and
minerals to grow, so be sure to eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit,
include lean protein in your diet, as well as whole grains to nourish your
lashes and help them to grow.
Brush your lashes
Brushing your lashes will clean out
any dust and dirt particles and encourage a good blood supply to the lashes.
You can buy little lash combs, made specifically for the job, and a daily brush
really can help to make your lashes grow longer and thicker.
Leave your lashes alone!
Always be gentle with lashes, they
don’t like being treated harshly. Avoid rubbing your eyes or pulling on your
lashes when you are removing makeup or you’ll not only get premature under
eye wrinkles and fine lines, but you’ll also pull some lashes out and stunt the
growth of the other ones that stay in.
Massage your eyelids
And finally, another easy tip on how
to make your eyelashes grow longer and stronger is eyelid massage. You can
stimulate the hair follicles of your lashes by gently massaging your eyelids.
If you do this regularly, you will see a real difference in your lashes
quickly. Just be careful not to be too rough though when you massage, or you
will do more harm, than good.
