Natural eyelash growth: how to get long and beautiful eyelashes

Everyone loves the idea of ​​having long, luscious and thick eyelashes. Some of us are born with them, some of us aren’t, but many of us could have thicker, healthier lashes if we knew how to use natural resources to make the most of what we have.

Eyelashes are made of keratin just like all the hair on our body. Just like the hair on our heads, the structure of our eyelashes is vulnerable to environmental damage and daily wear and tear.

In the time that elapses between the natural process of hair loss and its replacement by another, we can protect these “structures” keeping them healthy, voluminous and strong from root to tip.

Just like your hair, keeping your lashes conditioned, shiny and healthy makes them stand out and look not only thicker but longer and more lush.

Natural oils like coconut and jojoba oils do exactly this by nourishing and hydrating, plumping, and softening lashes. Plant extracts such as aloe vera and burdock root are also very good for building and supporting the structure of the eyelashes.

Other useful herbs and plants for this job are rosemary, lavender, and chamomile.

Eyelash Lengthening Conditioning Oil Blend

You can make an eyelash remedy using a base of 1 tablespoon of aloe vera juice, 1 tablespoon of jojoba or coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon of chamomile tea (strong: one tea bag steeped in 1/4 cup of water boiling)

Apply this conditioning blend to your lashes with an old mascara wand that has been thoroughly washed in warm and very hot soapy salt water to remove mascara and bacteria.

Apply twice daily and remove excess with a cotton swab or cotton ball. If you wear mascara during the day, you may choose to rinse the mixture off after your morning application and then apply your mascara.

This is a very nutritious recipe for your eyelashes and it will protect them from dryness and brittleness.

If you want to add a bit of SPF protection, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil to the mix.

If you have lighter eyelashes and want to “tint” them naturally, you can use 1/4 cup of crushed black walnut shells, 1 tablespoon of sage herbs, and a chamomile tea bag steeped in hot water for 1 to 2 hours. . You can then apply this cooled strained mixture to your lashes twice a day with a cotton swab and leave on to gently tint your lashes over time.

You can add other ingredients to lash serums, but these are great for sensitive skin and eyes, so they are suitable for most skin types.

Try these recipes applied to your lashes for a month and they will look and feel thicker, shinier and longer.
