PICTURE: PEXELS/ WOMAN WITH LONG LASHES
You might have seen a couple of Pinterest boards with the long lash effect.
With long, fluttery lashes, you can achieve the ultimate beauty goal without resorting to heavy makeup by making your eyes appear bigger, brighter, and more defined.
Although mascara and false eyelashes can produce dramatic effects right away, they are simply short-term fixes. Focusing on strengthening and feeding your natural lashes is where the true magic happens.
The secret to getting long, healthy lashes naturally is to develop a routine that encourages lash growth, guards against breaking, and enhances the lashes’ inherent curl and volume.
You don’t have to use harsh chemical-filled serums or extensions to improve your lashes; you can use natural oils or make little lifestyle adjustments. Over time, with proper maintenance, your lashes can grow longer, stronger, and more beautiful.
According to Health Spectra, “If you want to promote the growth of long and healthy eyelashes, consider applying castor oil. Castor oil can also enhance eyebrow growth. Its primary component is about 90% ricinoleic acid, which may help reduce hair loss.”
Thehealthsite.com claims that shea butter, which is high in vitamin C and antioxidants, helps to strengthen collagen and prevent damage from free radicals, which promotes the growth and thickness of lashes. After applying it to both the top and lower lashes, let it sit overnight. Rich in lauric acid, coconut oil promotes the growth of eyelashes. After cleaning and oiling your lashes, go to bed for the night. In the morning, wash it off.
