Natural recipes for longer eyelashes

Having longer eyelashes is the desire of every woman. To do this, it is necessary to strengthen them. How? Brushing them daily, removing makeup before going to bed and nourishing them with household items.

Over time, due to a process of loss and regeneration , the eyelashes can become thin and short. However, women aspire to be generous and long. For this, there are many treatments available; but some homemade elements allow us to obtain the same results: longer lashes!

In addition, you need to take good care of your eyelashes. Do not abuse the mascara, do not rub your eyes a lot and avoid using the eyelash curler, as it can cut them. Remove make-up carefully, as the eyelashes are very fragile and, with sudden movements, they can fall off easily.

Here are some homemade products and other tips to help you take care of your eyelashes. Remember that it is vital for your health that you repair each of the parts of your body.

Olive oil

It is especially useful to clean the follicles of the eyelashes and eliminate everything that is contaminating them. As a source of vitamin E , it supports the growth process . Therefore, it could help you to wear longer lashes.

With a cotton swab, you can apply it every night before going to sleep and remove it the next day when you wake up.

Castor oil

Thanks to its rich composition in fatty acids,  castor oil hydrates and strengthens the eyelashes. This results in longer, brighter, stronger and fuller lashes.

Like olive oil, you apply it with a cotton swab before sleeping and remove it the next morning. You can also take an empty mascara bottle, pour in the castor oil and apply it directly with the brush.

Chamomile

Chamomile is one of the plants to which the most benefits are attributed to our body. In the case of eyelashes, it adds shine and stimulates their growth, revitalizing and strengthening them naturally .

Do not forget that chamomile lightens the hair. So, if you want to wear longer eyelashes, but not lighter, avoid excessive use and sun exposure with the product applied.

After having your face washed and removed, you boil a chamomile flower in a container. When it has cooled down a bit, soak a cotton ball and run it over your eyelids. The results will not be seen from one day to the next; But, if you are consistent in its daily use, you will start to notice them in about a month.

Carrot, orange, flower pollen and walnut juice

The high vitamin content of these ingredients favors the nutrition of your eyelashes . Also, this combined vitamin contribution contributes to the vigor and volume of your eyelashes. Therefore, it could be another one of the steps to get closer to your goal of having longer lashes.

Mix six carrots, four oranges, two tablespoons of flower pollen, and one tablespoon of walnut. Prepare a juice with these ingredients and drink it in the morning for two months.

Eat foods that contain keratin

The keratin gives strength and elasticity to the eyelashes . Therefore, it is important that your diet includes foods that stimulate the development of this protein. Among them, we find chicken, fish, eggs and legumes, as well as all those rich in minerals, vitamins and proteins.

Eat foods that contain vitamin C

Vitamin C helps strengthen both bones and hair. According to Dr. Charles Alan Blake Clemetson, author of Vitamin C , vitamin C hydrates lashes, repairs damaged follicles, supports collagen production, and lowers the risk of lash breakage.

Eat orange, kiwi, papaya, strawberry, lemon, melon, blueberry and other fruits; as well as broccoli, cauliflower, parsley, red pepper, Brussels sprouts, and other vegetables.

Brush your lashes

As with hair, combing lashes every day can stimulate their growth. Do it every night before applying any oil. Remember that the brush must be clean.

Don’t eat fat

Food is also involved in the growth of eyelashes . According to Juan Sopena, a dermatologist at the Madrid Institute of Dermatology and Aesthetics (IMDE), a balanced diet, rich in fruits and vegetables with a high content of vitamins A, B, C and E helps maintain healthy and shiny eyelashes.

On the contrary, excessive consumption of fatty foods weaken them and, therefore, they grow less or fall more. Therefore, you will be moving away from the goal of having longer lashes.

If you notice that your lashes are falling more than normal, consult a dermatologist. It will be this professional who determines whether or not a treatment is necessary. These tips are aimed at giving your lashes more shine, strength and length, but maybe you have an infection or some disease whereby your lashes are not healthy and strong.
