How to grow eyelashes. Long and thick eyelashes without extensions: just grow them! How to lengthen eyelashes at home quickly

I once saw a guy: he’s ugly himself, and his eyelashes are like those of a doll: black, thick, long, curved ... At that moment it hit me: what an injustice, I also want these! Well, then I asked myself the question of how to grow eyelashes, and so that they are long, thick, and also like a doll.

After many months of efforts, I share my experience and feedback on the means)

How it all started:

I have no luck with eyelashes, frankly. Absolutely straight, short and suddenly light gray in color (my hair is dark brown), when unmade, they are completely invisible on my face.

It is clear that with this state of affairs, one carcass is not enough.

And I know that this is not only my problem: you also want to have long, thick and beautiful eyelashes, right? However, few girls are lucky to be proud of their own.

Worrying about it is useless, I decided, and I climbed the Internet for long and thick ones, looking for answers to the question “what to do when eyelashes are rare and short” and effective methods for growing them.

In the article I will tell you what are the ways to make eyelashes thicker and longer, about myths and about what really works on their beauty .

What I tried and what I will talk about here:

• about eyelash curlers
• about ways to grow at home
• about purchased funds
• about false eyelashes
• about magnetic eyelashes
• about eyelash extensions
• about myths that supposedly work
• about chips to simulate density
• and what the girlfriends say

About eyelash curlers

Were once fashionable eyelash curler (I think you all know them - they are very similar to nail scissors with soft abs).

I thought how: I will bend my eyelashes, make them up - and it will be beautiful. As a result, the cilia, of course, bent upwards, but from the side it was clear that they seemed to be breaking. Well, and, of course, they didn’t become thicker or longer (no one expected it, they just wanted quick beauty).

And after a couple of months they really began to break down and fall out great, so I had to stop using it often.

You can use these tweezers from time to time, nothing will happen.

About growing eyelashes at home

Attention myth!

After giving my eyelashes a little rest after the tweezers, I resorted to the cunning advice of someone from the vastness of the network. “There is a way to grow your eyelashes really fast,” this “someone” suggested, “you need every day for a few minutes carefully delay them thumb and forefinger."

You know, these methods work on parts of the body. For example, we all know about the African tribe, where women put rings on their neck, thereby stretching it to a monstrous length in our opinion, so that if you remove these rings, the neck simply breaks.

And we know about Japanese girls, who, in the old days, had their breasts tightly wrapped and pulled down from childhood, and it did not grow. Flat girls were considered more beautiful.

So: with eyelashes, this, unfortunately, does not work. The fact is that their visible part is already dead cells, like nails, and these cells do not lend themselves to such “motivation”. But the skin of the eyelids will stretch for a sweet soul. You don't have to do that.

Attention, another myth!

One of my friends, having heard about a new radical method of growing her own thick and long eyelashes, took the risk of using it.

And very in vain. The method was that the girl under the root trims all her lashes , and the new ones supposedly will grow up very young, healthy (unlike those), strong and therefore long.

Nonsense, of course. And that friend of mine was convinced of this the hard way. Bitter for two reasons: firstly, walking for several weeks with bald eyes is still entertainment, and secondly, new eyelashes have grown “shaggy” (this is when the tips begin to look in different directions, some up, others down).

Eyelashes are already constantly updated, there is no need to trim them.

Castor oil for eyelash growth

Subtracted about Castor oil . It is sold in a pharmacy, it is inexpensive (something around 60-70 rubles), the reviews are good.

I started using it: I dipped a clean mascara brush into the bottle, shook off the excess and blotted it, and applied it to my eyelashes like regular mascara. At night, of course.

Used for two months. The result is lashes that are definitely darker and thicker. Longer - no, they didn’t, but they did to look like longer (because the colorless tips have darkened).

The verdict is a good tool, useful for cilia. But for good reason, I stopped using it ...

The problem is that castor oil is comedogenic (meaning that it can clog pores, which can lead to comedones – bumps on the skin that are very hard to get rid of).

And I got two of these comedones - one on each lower eyelid. I applied very little oil to my eyelashes, but apparently at night it got warm from body heat and dripped a little on the eyelids, clogging the pores. The use of oil had to be stopped.

Aleran stimulator for eyelash growth

You have already heard about eyelash growth stimulator Alerano , Yes? This tool costs something around 600-700 rubles, the formula is day-night (you apply one composition to the eyelashes during the day, another at night).

Here is a very important point that some of you girls should know: if you suddenly have a period of severe weakening and hair loss on your head, and it did not start due to problems with the scalp (and I had this) - this cannot not affect the eyelashes, they will also weaken and fall out.

And in this case, if no means for growing eyelashes help you, this is not because the means do not work, but because you first need to dig out and solve the true one, otherwise all these means will be like an attempt to seal the current pipe with tape. But this is a very broad topic, more about it in other articles.

So, when I eliminated my causes of hair loss, it was Alerana who helped me achieve the maximum possible density and length of eyelashes for my genetics.

Also, with the help of Alerana, I restore eyelashes after extensions.

No, this does not mean that my eyelashes as a result became twice as long, three times thicker and began to bend towards the eyebrows on their own with a joyful song - no. That means they're a little longer, a little tighter and a little thicker, which is fine too, but still not enough to be called chic.

After Alerana, for the sake of interest, I used a couple more products to grow and strengthen eye hair, but they were similar in composition to Alerana (although one cost about 1,500 rubles), and the result was similar.

Life truth

Summing up the intermediate result, I will say that with The most unpleasant thing in trying to grow long and thick eyelashes is precisely that their maximum possible length and density for each girl individual and genetically determined, and now the eyelashes simply cannot grow longer than nature intended for this particular girl.

Having reached a certain length, the hair lives for some time, and then simply falls out, making room for a new one.

However, in our power turn on your genetics to the fullest ”and with the help of eyelash growth products and hair vitamins, achieve the maximum possible length and density for each specific case.

As for the strengthening agent, I settled on Aleran, and as for vitamins, I will write about my favorites in another article.

Plus, there are mandatory rules to ensure that your eyelashes do not look worse than they can:

Eyelash rules:

• Throw out all the cheap mascaras, buy one good quality one. Do not store mascara longer than 3 months.
• every evening . The area around the eyelashes is the most difficult to clean, so do not spare cotton pads, do not spare the time - clean your eyes properly so that the chemicals do not clog the pores. At the same time, do not rub your eyes too hard - you can harm the bulbs.
• massage the eyelashes a couple of times a week at night: with your eyes closed, with clean fingers, gently and lightly (without pressing on the eyeball) massage their roots. You can apply quite a bit of castor or burdock oil on the fingertips to enhance the effect, but please constantly monitor the reaction of the eyes and remember that the oils must be of high quality. If you use Alerana, you can not bother with this item.
• your eyelashes will look better if you drink plenty of pure water and eat healthy foods, and not any bullshit. Watch your diet: vegetables, fruits, fish, avocados, nuts, cereals - all this is very useful for your beauty.

Special shampoos and balms, masks and compresses for eyelash growth - in my opinion, this is already too much. Because if we watch them so carefully, as well as eyebrows, hair, nails, skin, teeth, etc., then 24 hours a day will not be enough for us.

Therefore, use those methods that definitely work: healthy food + vitamins + proven strengthening agent + high-quality cosmetics + good cleansing. It's enough.

Well, if you have already done everything possible, strengthened your eyelashes, nourished them with usefulness, but the result is still far from your dreams, then it's time to use completely different methods of changing the appearance of your eyelashes.

How to make eyelashes long and thick quickly?

This section is no longer about how to grow eyelashes, but about how to make them long and visually thick.

About false eyelashes

First I tried. I bought a pair of these that looked more or less natural, plus glue (all for 250 rubles).

I watched a few videos on YouTube on how to stick them correctly. The first pancake was lumpy: I covered them in glue, smeared all my eyelids - and this was an hour before a very important event. I had to rush to wash my face and re-apply makeup.

The second time it turned out almost well, but somehow it happened that after a couple of hours my upper eyelid began to stick to the supra-eye roller. It was impossible to wipe off the glue, as a result I looked extremely strange, blinking with one eye =))

What am I talking about? In no case do not try to stick on false eyelashes shortly before leaving the house if you are doing this for the first time. However, with practice, you can stick them much faster and without incident.

But this is not an option for every day: after all, it takes time (after practice, I still need 10 minutes to do everything perfectly), plus, well, false eyelashes do not look completely natural. Beautiful - yes, natural - no. Only from afar. As an evening option - excellent.

I still use them occasionally (for photo shoots if I didn't have time to build them up, for videos, for evening events sometimes). And by the way, if you don’t want to pay 200 rubles for a pair of eyelashes every time, buy them on Joom, it’s much cheaper there.

About magnetic eyelashes

Here I will not procrastinate for a long time, I will just say that they look terrible up close. You can see the magnets. However, they are molded very quickly and generally hold well, so as an option for a photo shoot where your face will not be shot close-up, it will do.

About eyelash extensions

Then I decided eyelash extension . The first experience was sad: I went to a salon that had just opened in my house, where a girl with a bad smell from the nose (yes, yes, and her nose was very close to my face) suspiciously quickly increased my eyelashes, which safely fell off after 3 day. Oh, I should have just got up and left...

My friend around the same time was doing extensions in her salon. However, after a few hours, she developed such a terrible allergy to glue (imagine what happens to her eyes: they sting, they swell and watery, and itchy, itchy, itchy), that the eyelashes had to be immediately removed with a good half of her own.

Therefore, girls, do not chase cheapness, do not chase the proximity of the salon, do extensions from those about whom you have heard a lot of positive feedback. After asking friends, we found out about such a girl, and she grew her eyelashes really wonderfully.

Our eyelash extensions (by good masters) cost about 2,500 rubles. With proper care, the cilia last for a month, then bald spots become visible and you need to go to grow them. Correction is already cheaper.

My choice is extension

At first I couldn't get used to special care for eyelash extensions(I still get used to saying “extended” and not “extended”…). You can’t wipe your eyes, you need to watch what position you sleep in (although in fact this is a plus - don’t sleep on your face, it’s useful for beauty), make sure that the eyelash doesn’t fall off and doesn’t remain lying on your cheek (because it doesn’t look like like an eyelash, but like a spider's foot, it looks terrible).

Well, you need to wash your face and take off your makeup much more carefully. Which, however, is also good - with the skin and you need to handle it as carefully as possible.

Now I’m used to this care, I build up my eyelashes like this: I increased it, after a month I have a correction, after a month I take it off and let my eyelashes rest. It’s different for everyone, but mine look worse after extensions, so just after extensions I restore them with Alerana and drink vitamins every second time. During this period, I use invoices for some actions.

When the eyelashes returned to normal, I go to increase again.

Yes, there are difficulties, but how much joy! Extended (from a good master and high-quality materials) eyelashes look amazing, chic, amazing! You wake up - a beauty, you can not paint! And at sea it’s so convenient with them, but at photo shoots, and in general ... In general, building up is a cool thing, I use it with pleasure.

In the video, you can see how much the look changes after extension, how expressive, rejuvenated and open the eyes become:

About all sorts of chips and the experience of girlfriends

Permed eyelashes

I haven't tried it myself, but a friend did.

In general, there is also a procedure that allows you to bend the cilia for two months - this is. The essence of this procedure is that a special flexible roller is glued to the eye and a chemical solution is applied to the cilia.

As you can understand from the name of the procedure, this case can be dangerous. Firstly, there are a lot of reviews about allergic reactions to the solution, many burned their eyes, many got a kink at the tips. Secondly, this procedure is highly not recommended for girls who wear contact lenses or have sensitive eyelids.

My friend found a good master: her eyes didn’t sting, it didn’t hurt, the bend turned out to be pretty. The effect of perm eyelashes is limited to 2.5 months - this is the time during which the cilia are completely renewed.

But chemistry is still chemistry: there is little good in tormenting your eyes with it from time to time. One way or another, over time, chemistry penetrates into the ciliary bulbs, making them weaker.

Eyelash lamination

I haven't tried it myself, I just don't like how it looks.

According to statements lamination makes lashes stronger plus holds a good curl. But in my opinion, this procedure is for those who already have their own good and beautiful ones.

A girl with sparse and short eyelashes after lamination begins to look like a girl with the same sparse and short, only they are already bent. And they don’t look somehow ... fat, dirty, or something. My friend did it and she didn't like it.

Tattoo of interciliary space

And another girlfriend decided to interciliary space tattoo . She says it was terribly painful, she could hardly bear it. But the eyes did look a little more expressive, because it seems that the eyelashes have become thicker at the base.

But I definitely won’t advise you this method: pain, harm, the possibility of negative consequences ... And then the paint will brighten and come off (most likely in parts) and you will either have to repaint each time or go through it again. In general, an experiment for an amateur.

Do you think you would be able to withstand a tattoo on your eyes? I probably don't...

Little tricks

• If you want to make eyelashes longer and thicker in photos -
• Before applying mascara to your lashes, powder them gently and evenly. Then close it with mascara. If the mascara is good, nothing will fall anywhere, but the hairs themselves will look thicker.
• Having put on mascara, immediately lick the sides of your index fingers and bend your eyelashes with them, raising your eyebrows (it is better to hold for a couple of minutes). At first, this will only work for a couple of hours, but over time, your eyelashes will slowly adapt to this position.

At the end of the article

If a girl is charming and feminine, if she knows how to use cosmetics correctly, then the absence of gorgeous eyelashes will not make her look bad.

As I already said, the length of the cilia for each girl is individual and genetically laid down, therefore, it will not work with some preparations, gels and ointments to achieve an effect (I mean, a SUPER PENSIBLE effect, as with extensions).

But! This applies to cases when your eyelashes did not undergo any, let's say, stress - that is, they were always the same as they are now. And how to grow eyelashes, if one day for some reason they began to fall out, thin out, become thinner? There are several reasons for this, but there is also a solution.

For women who want to make their eyelashes long and beautiful, there are many ways to achieve this in the form of cosmetic and folk procedures.

Effective methods to increase eyelashes at home

Perhaps the only instant method of obtaining very long eyelashes. In salons, specialists can offer both natural and artificial fibers of false eyelashes. When choosing long enough models, a woman can feel like a real goddess at any holiday, but medium-length eyelashes are more suitable for everyday life.

A big plus of eyelash extension in this way is the absence of the need for additional curling and a large amount of cosmetics. In addition, glued to the surface of the eyelid, false eyelashes do not adversely affect their own. Visually, even the shape of the eyes changes from the extended eyelashes.

The disadvantage of building is the impossibility of using greasy creams or lotions, swimming in ponds. Avoid rubbing your eyes or sleeping face down on a pillow. A contraindication may be an individual allergy to the constituent components of eyelash glue.

Before lengthening eyelashes at home, it is important to decide which models to choose. There are eyelashes in bunches and in ribbons. Bundles increase density in certain places, and ribbons create the effect of luxurious eyelashes along the entire growth line. Applying eyelashes should be done after makeup, starting from the outer to the inner corner of the eye.

Partial gluing of beams is carried out only up to the middle of the eye on natural eyelashes near the eyelid. The tape is attached to the eyelid itself. Extended beautiful and long eyelashes at home is a good option, but not long-term. Cosmetologists do not advise sleeping with them, so you need to relax by removing them with a special tool.

Cosmetics as a way to visually increase eyelashes

In order not to resort to non-native fibers on the eyelids, you can use your cosmetic product - mascara. True, it should not be the most ordinary, but of high quality. Such a mascara should not have a smell, perhaps only faint sweet shades. And, of course, no lumps in the consistency.

Mascara application steps:

1. powder - first you need to powder the hairs with a thick brush;
2. mascara - then you should quickly make up your eyelashes, as if combing them;
3. mascara - pressing the brush near the eyelid and constantly scrolling with the brush, paint the eyelashes from the outside;
4. mascara - paint the eyelashes with light movements from the inside.

It is best to use mascara, which, in addition to its intended purpose, also cares for eyelashes. This remedy contains vitamins A, E, lanolin, keratin and biotin. They act on the hairs, improving their structure and accelerating growth. It is necessary to choose mascara very carefully, not only by color, smell or shape of the brush. It is extremely important not to harm your eyes with a low-quality product. If, after application, redness appears on the eyelids and eyes, you should immediately wash off the mascara and get rid of it.

In addition to mascara, curling with special tongs will help in the question of how to increase eyelashes. The main thing is to make the bend of the hairs very expressive, without breaking them completely. An eyeliner, liquid or pencil, can also work quite effectively, giving the eyelashes extra splendor.

Even the owners of beautiful and long eyelashes need to monitor their beauty constantly. This applies not only to the use of folk methods for the growth and density of eyelashes, but also to their daily care.

After applying decorative cosmetics to the eyes, it is important to remove the remnants of makeup at the end of the day. At night, the eyes should rest. It is not recommended to wash off the mascara with water and soap, so as not to overdry the skin of the eyelids and lead to brittle eyelashes. To do this, there are many mousses and moisturizing milks on the market. If the mascara is waterproof, you will have to purchase two-phase products that contain the necessary vitamins and oils.

Many people ask the question - what needs to be done to make the eyelashes long? The answer is quite simple - daily and proper care, which also includes eyelash nutrition. In the pharmacy chain you need to buy jojoba oil, apricot or peach. Every evening, applying such oils to the eyelashes will stimulate their active growth. The mask stays on the hairs for about 30 minutes and is thoroughly washed off.

Also, massage of the skin, where the growth of eyelashes begins, differs in good performance. To do this, you need an old mascara brush soaked in oil.

Causes of eyelash loss

Often, eyelashes appear short and sparse, not because they are naturally so, but because they are influenced by many factors that lead to their loss. After all, what is an eyelash? This is the same hair, consisting of keratin scales, and it is also subject to stratification. It receives food from the hair follicle, and, just like on the head, it has its own lifespan. It is about six months, which makes the eyelash the most short-lived hair on the human body.

Interestingly, at least 100 pieces can be counted on the upper eyelid, and from 50 on the lower eyelid. From above, they reach a length of 1 cm, and below - 7 mm. Only careful care will help lengthen the eyelashes, but no more than a third of their natural length. This takes 1 to 2 months.
The most common cause of loss is lack of attention. Too frequent perms and extensions can even be attributed to it, when under the weight of alien ones, their eyelashes quickly fall off.

If a woman has low-quality cosmetics in her arsenal, it is very harmful to the skin of the eyelids and the hairs on them. And the habit of sleeping with makeup is equivalent to killing eyelashes, because they are very susceptible to brittleness during sleep. In addition, the skin of the eyelids does not breathe, metabolic processes are disturbed and it ages.

As with all other parts of the body, a variety of diseases and mental stress lead to eyelash loss. Therefore, before you think about it, x, you should figure out the reasons and stop harassing your body with excessive nervousness.

Cosmetics for eyelash extension

In addition to mascara, there are many cosmetics, of which the most useful are products with vitamins, melanin, glycerin, protein and others. In combination, they provide gentle care for eyelashes. It is important to remember that you can not buy products containing hormones, as they can completely unpredictably affect the body.

A good tool today is a serum that improves eyelash growth. It contains peptides, vitamins and herbal ingredients. Such growth stimulants show their results after 6 weeks, so it is extremely important to read the instructions for use.

If the hairs on the eyelids become brittle and fall out, then the person does not have enough multivitamins. To replenish them, you need to introduce a vitamin complex with components A, E, B12, B5, C and D into your diet. It is important to reconsider your diet, which must include fish products, veal, vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts and butter.

Such products will be an excellent substitute for sausages and bakery products, which will become visible even in the appearance of the skin, hair and nails. Keratin must also be present in food. It is a protein found in rose hips, green parsley and bell peppers.

On warm sunny days, you should always protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation with glasses.

home treatments

For some reason, unlike hair and skin, eyelashes are rarely given time for maintenance. But in order to have beautiful long eyelashes, you will have to rethink your schedule for using home remedies.

The best way is to use oils, each of which has its own properties. For example, almond oil, as well as peach oil, will help to promote the growth of eyelashes. Burdock oil and castor oil can improve hairs, and olive and sunflower oil eliminate their fragility. You can increase the effectiveness of their action by adding vitamins E and A. Such complex products are applied to clean eyelashes daily for about one hour.

Massage is another effective method of how to lengthen eyelashes at home. Any of the oils, possibly with the addition of aloe juice and parsley, should be applied to the fingers, and gently massage the eyelids with pads, which takes just a few minutes. In addition, in this way you can improve your vision, most importantly, do not put too much pressure on your eyes and prevent the oil from getting on their mucous membrane.

It is good to use compresses to lengthen the eyelashes. Chamomile, calendula, cornflower, coltsfoot and even black tea are brewed for them. The broth should be strong enough, it is applied to cotton pads and applied to the eyes, periodically moistening for 20 minutes.

To motivate women to such procedures, we can say that you should not give up just because of the long time for eyelash care. The main thing is that as a result, the eyes will become even healthier and more attractive.

Unsuccessful eyelash extensions, thin eyelashes inherited, too short or “looking” down ... Surely every girl, woman wants to have thick and black eyelashes from birth, which do not need to be curled with mascara every day. And to achieve this goal, ladies go to any tricks. Let's look at some ways to help grow eyelashes at home.

What you need to know if you decide to grow eyelashes

The first thing to keep in mind for those who will grow eyelashes is that this process can take at least a few weeks to several months. However, the result should exceed expectations, so please be patient. And most importantly, do not forget to do the manipulations, since the future of your cilia depends on the frequency of use of the funds, the beauty of which you will amaze others. For example, you can make a rule to apply this or that product during the evening rest after work, or come up with a schedule that suits you and mark it on the calendar.

Subject to the rules to improve growth, eyelashes can increase in length up to a third, but no more. That is, if the length of your upper eyelashes is on average 10 mm, then they will be able to add another 2-3 mm.

The best methods for eyelash growth are the use of oils, massage, masks, compresses and products specially designed for this purpose that can be combined with each other. Massage the eyelids, and then apply oil to the eyelashes, or dry the eyelashes after a compress and apply a stimulating gel on them. Also, don't forget about!

Oil for eyelash growth

First of all, when you want to grow eyelashes, the use of oils comes to mind. They will help not only make eyelashes longer, but also strengthen them, make them thicker. Since ancient times, castor oil has been popular with women, which nourishes and strengthens the hairs, stimulating the follicles and helping to prevent their loss.

For the same purpose, you can try using almond, burdock oil, usma oil. You can mix several oils to get the maximum effect.

Eyelash oil

However, ophthalmologists do not advise applying oils to eyelashes at night. The fact is that during sleep, when we do not control ourselves, the oil will spread over the eyes, irritate the mucous membranes and clog the tear ducts, as a result of which there will be more harm than good. It is best to do this in the evening, walk around with oily eyelashes for an hour or two, and wash before going to bed.

Shop gels, serums and conditioners

Cosmetologists have long developed special tools for the growth and strengthening of eyelashes. These are therapeutic gels, serums, conditioners, which consist of oils, vitamins, plant extracts and other ingredients.

Ready-made formulas are not cheap, but they have an excellent effect on eyelashes. There are many of them on the market: Relouis “Long Eyelashes” eyelash growth accelerator gel, Eveline 3 in 1 serum or Eyelash Booster, Almea Xlash eyelash tool (which we will return to) and others.

Vitamins to help grow eyelashes

Strengthen and improve the growth of eyelashes will help. As you know, vitamins A (makes them more elastic), B (favorably affects hair follicles and activates hair growth) and E (improves blood flow to hair follicles, supplies them with oxygen) contribute to the growth and density of eyelashes.

To see the result in the mirror, you need to not only act on the eyelashes externally, but also internally. You can pick up a special complex of vitamins and drink it just at the time when you conduct a course to transform your eyelashes. Or lean on food rich in these vitamins.

Serums based on bimatoprost for eyelashes

Some girls, having read laudatory reviews on the Internet about the result of using the Careprost medicine, begin to actively use it, without thinking about the consequences.

It contains bimatoprost, an artificial analogue of the hormone-like substance prostaglandin. The drug was originally used to treat elevated intraocular pressure, but when women found out about the side effect in the form of eyelash growth activation, they began to use it as a cosmetic product, to the general dissatisfaction of ophthalmologists.

Let's not dissemble, Careprost really helps to strongly grow eyelashes, make them thicker and darker, with a beautiful bend. However, it is worth paying attention that if you constantly use a prostaglandin-based drug, you can make serious ones, especially if you do not have glaucoma and intraocular pressure is all right.

Another disadvantage is that hairs can begin to grow in an unexpected place, for example, in the middle of the century. We do not recommend that you risk your health, especially since the effect of use will go away almost immediately after you stop using Careprost.

Bimatoprost is also part of the vaunted Almea Xlash eyelash growth product we talked about above.

Useful tips on how to grow eyelashes at home

To increase eyelashes in volume, you need to not only apply masks and products, but also follow a number of recommendations. Be sure to wash off your mascara before going to bed. But do it right: do not carry a cotton pad from right to left, but remove the mascara with light movements from top to bottom. To improve blood circulation, periodically massage the eyelids.

After taking a bath or shower, do not forget to comb your eyelashes, but it is better to immediately apply a gel or serum to them. Use your curling iron as little as possible – ideally at least once a week. And mascara should be applied after you curl your lashes, not before. The optimal period for changing the carcass is three months. It should not be used longer than this period, because during this time bacteria have already bred in it.

Every woman in the world wants thicker, longer eyelashes. However, not all women have quite long natural eyelashes. For this purpose, they often use lengthening mascaras, and they also use eyelash extensions to make them look bigger, fuller and longer. However, there are many eyelash stimulants that you can use at home.

How to make eyelashes longer - 15 home remedies

There are some natural remedies that can help you stimulate eyelash growth. When applied correctly, you will have eyes with longer, thicker and healthier lashes.

1. Egg

Olive oil has many uses in the beauty industry. This is due to the fact that it contains a whole storehouse of vitamins A, D, E and antioxidants, and it also has the properties of a polyphenol. These properties are very good for the restoration and growth of eyelash cells. According to a study on the benefits of olive oil for eyelashes, using it can help make your eyelashes appear thicker.
