For example, we have the fake lash extensions and mascara, which are commonly used for eyelash enhancing- these methods are only temporary solutions to the long term problems you have.
In addition, these products if not used properly, can damage the lashes and the eyes over a span of time. So the question arises how to grow eyelashes naturally? There are several tips and tricks that can help you achieve natural eyelash growth without the use of any harmful chemicals. Some of the tips, which anyone can use to promote the natural growth of lashes are:
Oils rich in vitamins and minerals
Many women around the world use natural oils and lubricants in order to promote the growth of their lashes naturally. The oils that top the list of such lubricants includes- olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil, and other oils rich in vitamin E and petroleum jelly. These oils have successfully led to the growth of lashes in women, making them longer and stronger. But most women find that applying these oils before bed irritates the eyes, and produces and annoying sense because they blot the pillow covers with stains and also make the eyes water profusely at times.
Apart from this, the oils are safe to use, nourish the lashes from the follicles, and cause no harm to the eyes or the skin of the lashes. It is completely up to your preference whether you’d like to use them or not.
If you’d like to try oils, remove all the makeup from the eyes, and apply a small dab of the oil of your choice and every day before going to bed. Gently massage the oil to the lashes and eyelash comb for evenly spreading the oil through the lashes. Rinse the eyes with water in the morning and you’re ready for your makeup.
Natural and organic eyelash enhancing products
If oils are a bit too messy for you to use over the eyelashes, then the next best natural alternative, which is both quick and effective is the natural and organic eyelash enhancing products. These include all the products that have been clinically proven to grow your lashes longer and thicker, irrespective of how short and dull they are. These products are mostly conditioner based and protect the lashes to keep them strong and beautiful.
The one thing you need to ensure is that these products should be paraben-free, only then are they truly natural. It ensures that your eyes and the skin around the lashes won’t feel irritated. Also, they come loaded with all the essential proteins, vitamins and many rejuvenating ingredients, which not only increase the length of the lashes, but also improve their elasticity, moisturizing them and conditioning them to make them look thicker and shinier.
The application of such products is easy. They come in liquid form, and have to be applied with the help of special eyelash brushes, once or twice a day. Most of them have to be applied at bedtime, and they work on the lashes while you’re asleep. Within a few weeks of application, the eyelashes begin to appear longer, thicker, and healthier.
Right food for the lashes
The most overlooked factor by people when it comes to the growth of the lashes is the type of food they feed their lashes on. But, fact of the matter is that proper nutrition is essential for the growth of the lashes or hair growth anywhere over the scalp or the brows, etc. Include plenty of fruit, vegetables and proteins in the diet to promote the growth of the lashes.
Just like our hair needs proper nourishment to look healthy and well fed, our lashes too needs the same nourishment in order to grow longer, stronger; and not dull and dry. Have you ever noticed the nails on the finger and the hair on your scalp turn dry and brittle- it happen when you don’t eat right. Similarly, when the lashes look dull, dry and brittle, it is because they are under-nourished. To grow eyelashes naturally always feed yourself with a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
Avoid heavy makeup
When it comes to makeup, the one thing that stands out clearly is that the less it is the better it is for your eyes and your eyelashes. Caking the eyes with shadow and large gobs of mascara only makes them look nice for a few hours, eventually damaging the lashes for times to come. Even curlers further add to the problem of damaged eyelashes, making them brittle and dull. We already lose about four lashes per day, and using make up over them only means that you are inviting added trouble.
Just like the skin needs to breather, the skin around the lashes also needs to breathe. There are tiny pores in the skin, which get clogged with use of makeup over a long period of time. Eyelashes will always grow better without makeup than with makeup, so allow them to grow naturally, and if using any products for boosting their growth, ensure that these products are made from organic ingredients only.
Use a good makeup remover
So many women don’t realize how harmful makeup can be for their eyes. Many of them don’t even bother to remove make up before going to bed. So on the one hand it leaves behind ugly satins on the pillows, and also smudges under the eyes, on the other hand it unknowingly also impacts the lashes. Therefore it is always advisable to remove all makeup before going to bed. For the effective removal of the same, use a good quality makeup removal, particularly mascara, because it dries them out, which makes them weaker and prone to breakage.
Again another important thing to keep in mind is that whatever makeup remover you use, it should have only natural ingredients. Never rub the eyelashes hard for makeup removal because apart from irritating the skin underneath, it damages the skin cells tearing them apart.
There is a reason why women are so fascinated with long and thick eyelashes. It is believed that natural eyelash growth is a sign youth and so more men are attracted to women with longer lashes. And if you’re not a lucky one with the genetically gifted attractive eyelashes, adopt any of the above methods for growing longer eyelashes naturally and see the difference it makes to the eyes. Keep makeup to the minimum and care to the maximum.
