Your eyes most probably are the highlight of your face and your eye lashes the highlight of your eyes. However, they are also fragile and likely to break with only a slight amount of pressure. Often, on account of rough handling or maybe the lack of proper care, many of us grow up to not have eye lashes as dense as we’d like them to be. Getting those dense dreamy eye lashes might seem like a fairy tale to many but here are a few ways that you can turn your fantasy to reality.
Petroleum Jelly
Petroleum Jelly is a major product in the health and beauty industry that also has some brilliant uses for your eyelashes. Apply petroleum jelly to your eyelashes every night, just before going to bed. You can leave it on overnight but take care that you do not smudge your eyes in the night or when you wake up the next morning. Rubbing your eyes surely destroys the shape of your eyelashes and may even cause them to break. The petroleum jelly being a hydrant helps the eyelashes to grow faster and to become thicker. It also helps in improving the texture and the volume of your eyelashes.
Castor Oil
Castor oil has been used traditionally for a number of hair re-growth treatments. Mix a few drops of castor oil with olive oil and apply it to your eyelashes. You can leave it on overnight or wash it off after a few hours of application. These herbal oils, especially when used multiple times and frequently, restore the growth potential of your eyelashes and help make them denser and fuller.
Green Tea
Green tea is one of the best drinks you can have, mainly on account of the numerous health benefits that it provides. Besides being beneficial to your health, it also works wonders for your beauty routine. It is really rich in antioxidants, thereby helping your eyelashes grow faster. It even reduces dark circles and makes your eyes appear brighter, on being consumed frequently. Add some green tea leaves or a green tea bag to a hot water bowl. Once the water has cooled down, apply it onto your lashes and let it stay there for a few hours. Rinse your eyes with cold water since that will further help catalyse the effect of the green tea on your eyelashes.
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe Vera Gel is one of the most recommended beauty products out there due to its natural and herbal properties which provide you with countless instant benefits and relief from a number of ailments. Apply some aloe vera gel onto your eyebrows and eyelashes and leave it to dry. After about 5 minutes, you can wash it off with water. Make sure that you keep your eyes closed while applying the gel as your eyes may be sensitive towards it. Being a cooling agent, the aloe vera gel also helps reduce dark circles.
Oils
One of the best, most affordable and feasible ways of getting longer lashes is by applying oil to them. You can apply any oil of your choice as all oils are beneficial to your eyelashes in some way or the other and help in hair growth.
In order to take additional care of your eyelashes, make sure that you delicately remove any makeup applied to them and avoid using fake lashes or eye lash curlers as much as possible.
