Long and healthy lashes are something every woman wants, but most lash serums come with high price tags and a long list of hard to pronounce ingredients.
A few years ago i started looking for a more natural option , something i could use every night and something that i could make over and over again.
That is when i discovered a two ingredient lash serum that has become a staple in my night time routine. It only takes a few minutes to make and helps my lashes look healthier, fuller, and more conditioned. They have also grown so thick and long.
If you have been looking for a natural alternative to lash extensions and serums, you will love this recipe.
Why natural lash care matters
Our eyelashes go through natural growth cycles, just like the hair on our heads. Overtime they can become weak and brittle from make up, rubbing our eyes, and from removing mascara.
Benefits of using natural ingredients:
Affordable
Adds natural shine
Strengthen the hair follicle
Conditions lashes
The two ingredient lash serum
This natural lash serum only uses two ingredients.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of castor oil
2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel
Tools you will need:
Measuring spoon
A glass jar with a lid
A clean mascara wand to apply the serum
Optional: For some extra nourishment, you can add a few drops of olive oil or vitamin E oil.
Mix all of the ingredients together and store in your jar.
Apply with the mascara wand after you have taken off your eye make up at night.
Use within 3 months.
Benefits of castor oil
Castor oil has been used for centuries as a natural beauty remedy. It is rich in fatty acids that help hydrate and condition hair.
It is also a popular oil for your scalp and eyebrows.
Aloe vera gel
Aloe vera gel contains high levels of amino acids, minerals, and vitamins that benefit skin and hair.
It is also very cooling on the skin and is often used for sunburn and other skin irritations.
How often to use it
For the best results, use this serum every night for at least a month.
With natural beauty recipes consistency is key. It may take a few weeks to see noticeable results.
Tips for healthier eyelashes
In addition to using this serum, here a few small habits that can help you protect your lashes.
Be gentle when removing eye make up - Rubbing your eyes aggressively can make your eyelashes fall out. Opt for an oil based cleanser (coconut oil is all i use)
Avoid waterproof mascara for every day use - Waterproof formulas are harder to remove.
Clean your lash tools often - This helps to avoid bacteria entering the eyes.
Give your lashes a break - Some days, skip the mascara and make up and let your lashes breathe.
