6 Natural Eyelashes Secrets You Must Know


Home remedies for eyelash growth you never knew were possible!

If you’re craving for a va-va-voom makeover, you don’t need to focus anywhere else but your very eyes!  Your eyes speak louder than words and are the most expressive part of your face.  Your lips may be saying something but, your eyes will always give you away.  They speak your mind, and they do speak tons about you.

And, guess what?  Other than improving your eyebrows to flatter the way your face is framed, your eyelashes are also a great area to reinvent a new you!

Contrary to the growing popularity and mass following of using false eyelashes — whether these be the ones glued on your eyelashes temporarily or ‘permanently’ (well, they eventually fall out and don’t really last either) — there are everyday ingredients you have right at home to help make you grow those dramatically long and flattery eyelashes you’ve always dreamed to have —naturally!

Below is our selection of the top six home remedies you can access without sweating or spending a single dime for eyelash growth.

Secret No. 1: Apply castor oil on your eyelashes.  If there is a super household staple in home remedies for eyelash growth, it has got to be castor oil!  Castor oil has been used generation after generation to treat all sorts of minor ailments, and yes, even caters to vanity—you probably never knew it was possible!

First, make sure that you are using castor oil graded for topical use, and not an industrial grade one.  Secondly, wipe off eye makeup and make sure to rid it of oils and other skin impurities.  Then, using a cleaned mascara brush or a similarly slim tipped applicator, apply castor oil thoroughly on each strand of your eyelashes.  If you don’t have one ready, your fingers will do the trick just fine.  Apply above and underneath your eyelashes—both top and bottom for even better results.

Secret No. 2: Coconut Oil.  This wonderful ingredient is probably one of the most recommended home remedies for eyelash growth.  It has been praised for hair growth, and it can work miracles on your brittle, unflattering eyelashes too.  Simply take a drop or two of coconut oil and apply religiously on your eyelashes before you sleep.  Better yet, use coconut oil as an eye makeup remover too.

The small chains of fatty acids characteristic of coconut oil help make it penetrate deeply into skin to stimulate eyelash growth.  It also works by protecting your eyelashes from breaking and falling off too early.

Secret No. 3: Olive Oil.  Not surprisingly, our favorite natural skincare product also happens to be a favorite home remedy for eyelash growth.  Other than acting as a skin-conditioning agent, olive oil is also packed with nutrients that help revitalize hair follicles and stimulate hair growth.  Olive oil also works by inhibiting eyelashes from falling out.

Secret No. 4: Aloe Vera.  Another centuries-old favorite home remedy for eyelash growth you never knew about is aloe vera.  Its sap is loaded with proteins, vitamins and minerals that help moisturize skin and hair, and stimulate hair follicles to grow hair at the same time.  Aloe vera secretes a keratin-like substance which is essential for healthy hair growth.  At the same time, aloe vera also makes your eyelashes grow thicker, longer and faster by keeping it well nourished over longer periods of time.

Secret No. 5: Remove eye makeup, brush your eyelashes, and massage your eyelids regularly.  Harsh ingredients which eye makeups are often formulated with can hinder the growth of beautiful, long eyelashes so make sure to wipe your eyelids clean before you call it a day.

Stimulate blood and oxygen circulation in blood vessels underneath your eyelids by massaging your eyelids and brushing your eyelashes regularly.  These actions help bring essential vitamins and nutrients to your hair follicles and aid in growing newer, stronger and healthier hair.

Secret No. 6: Eat a healthy diet to stimulate healthy eyelash growth.  As you apply the ingredients above topically, make sure that you’re also getting the right nutrients in your diet that work to nourish your eyelashes, aid in eyelash growth, and help keep them strong and more resilient to damage and hair fall.

Eat more leafy greens and fruits rich in Vitamins A, C and E which are rich in antioxidants and therefore, offer powerful protection to your skin and eyelashes to give you those longer, thicker, more dramatic eyelashes.  You’re going to want to keep batting your eyelids to show off your eyelashes.

Conclusion

Don’t fall for artificial remedies right away.  Exercise some patience and try out these Top Six home remedies for eyelash growth you never knew were possible.  After all, patience, they say, is a virtue — and, what could be more beautiful than naturally grown eyelashes.  What will make you even happier to note is knowing that you got the results you’ve always wanted, without breaking the bank.
