How To Grow Eyelashes?
Like hair, eyelashes also have a growth path. If they fall out, or if they are damaged or sparse from mascara or some dye, you may be looking for a way to grow your lashes.
The length and health of the eyelashes are linked to a genetic factor; however, there are several natural remedies to grow eyelashes.
How to do? In this article we suggest some nutrients to take and other simple tricks to be able to show off long and healthy eyelashes.
Vitamin H
Vitamin H (or biotin) accelerates the growth of eyelashes and strengthens them.
This water-soluble vitamin is part of group B, present in various cosmetic products, but also in certain foods, such as sardines, walnuts, almonds, brewer’s yeast, bananas and cereals.
You can also find it in egg yolk. Raw egg whites, on the other hand, contain avidin, a glycoprotein that prevents the absorption of vitamin H.
Antioxidants
Vitamins C and E, two antioxidant vitamins, are important for the growth and normal development of eyelashes.
Without vitamin C, in fact, the eyelashes become dry and weak. This vitamin can also block free radical damage on lashes and hair, keeping them healthy.
Either way, it is useful for healing and repairing damaged eyelashes and hair. Vitamin E promotes circulation in the area of the scalp, which will therefore appear healthier.
These vitamins are found mainly in citrus fruits, avocados and green leafy vegetables.
Olive oil to grow eyelashes
Rub a small amount of olive oil or castor oil on your eyelids every night, more precisely on the lash line, to stimulate growth and make them stronger.
You should start to notice improvements, hence an increase in eyelash growth, after a month or two.
The new lashes will be healthier and stronger than those already present.
Furthermore, olive oil has the same effect as conditioner and improves the health of the eyelashes.
Emu oil
Emu oil improves the appearance of lashes and promotes their growth, so they will appear longer and stronger.
Use a small amount of this oil to soften lashes and stimulate the growth of new ones.
Vaseline
This alternative treatment works like olive oil or castor oil. Rub some petroleum jelly every night before going to bed.
If you want, you can also rinse your eyes after 15 minutes. After a few weeks you will notice an increase in eyelash growth.
A balanced diet
Eating a diet rich in protein and vitamins helps to grow eyelashes. The most suitable foods are fish, eggs, beans and yogurt.
Soy protein is also very good for eyelash health and growth.
