Sometimes we forget about our eyelashes when it comes to removing make-up and caring for them.
There are natural ways to care for your lashes. Do the following:
Green Tea: Take advantage of the beneficial properties of green tea, such as flavonoids. Dip a cotton ball in green tea and smear it over the eyelashes. The tea will stimulate growth and help clean the follicles, allowing for more substantial growth to occur.
Brushing: Stimulate growth and promote healthy lashes by brushing your lashes twice a day with a lash comb. Brushing helps to distribute the natural oils along the length of your lashes to help keep them strong.
Lemon Olive Oil: Olive oil protects, conditions, and lengthens eyelashes. You can also enhance the already healthy properties of olive oil by adding lemon essential oil, which is a natural antiseptic and antimicrobial agent.
Proper diet: You can help promote lash growth by eating a healthy diet that’s high in protein and vitamins. Foods like fish, eggs, beans, and yogurt are all good choices that can contribute to healthy lashes. Soy protein is also beneficial for simulating lash growth.
Coconut oil:Â Coconut oil is packed with beneficial fatty acids that can help strengthen your lashes. And a little bit of lavender essential oil which provides additional nourishment.
