Eyelashes and eyebrows, just like hair on the head, require proper care. Incorrect make-up removal, low-quality cosmetics, dirty mascara brush – all this can weaken them and even make them fall out. It can also be caused by a deficiency of vitamins or other important nutrients in the diet. How to save eyelashes and eyebrows without spending a fortune? Try the following tricks.
Thorough makeup removal
It is important not only what you remove your makeup with, but also how you do it. Use a mild liquid or milk intended for removing make-up. If your makeup is waterproof, use an oil-based two-phase cosmetic. The soaked swab should be held by the eye for several seconds – without rubbing. Thanks to this, the mascara and other cosmetics will dissolve thoroughly. Remove makeup with gentle movements downwards or inside the eye.
Eyelash and eyebrow oiling
One of the natural home remedies for thick eyelashes and eyebrows is oiling them. Oiling consists in the regular application of vegetable oils on waxes. It requires regularity and patience, but the results obtained can be truly spectacular. The procedure is best done in the evening, so that the nutrients have time to absorb well while sleeping. After thorough make-up removal from the eye area, apply a small amount of the selected oil to the eyebrows and eyelashes. It is best to do this carefully with a cotton bud, so as not to get the substance into the eye. The following oils are suitable for oiling eyelashes and eyebrows: unrefined castor oil, argan oil, macadamia oil, as well as coconut oil and avocado oil. Castor oil is best mixed in a 1:1 ratio with olive oil, and you can add liquid vitamin E (available at the pharmacy) to strengthen the mixture. The first results will be visible after a month. During the treatment, it is best to cut off the eyelashes and limit the use of mascara.
Brushing eyelashes and eyebrows
Regular combing of the hair increases blood flow, which stimulates the bulbs and stimulates their growth. This also applies to eyelashes and eyebrows. Although this trick seems trivial, many professional makeup artists praise the benefits of brushing. You can use a clean mascara brush for this. Why don’t you try? Brushing feels like a massage, and daily eye massage is sure to be enjoyable. Maybe it will improve blood circulation and have an anti-wrinkle effect?
Supplements and strengthening treatments
An effective way to strengthen and thicken eyelashes and eyebrows are also preparations available in drugstores and online. Their recipes are also largely based on natural ingredients, but much more varied and concentrated. An example is the series of Lash Architect products by Radical. The multifunctional treatment for eyebrows and eyelashes is a vegan formula that contains as much as 95% of ingredients of natural origin, such as the botanical extract of the resurrection plant, Baikal skullcap root extract, soybean and wheat germ, as well as horsetail extract. The product stimulates the growth of eyelashes and eyebrows, thickens them, and intensively nourishes and deepens their color. As you can read on the manufacturer’s website, the first effects of the treatment will be visible after 14 days. Tests carried out under the supervision of a dermatologist and an ophthalmologist have shown that thanks to the application of this preparation, you can achieve: souls of the eye, 82 percent. thicker eyebrows and 88 percent stronger eyelashes and eyebrows. Sounds impressive!

The preparation is applied with a convenient brush and should be used once a day at night until satisfactory results are achieved. Other products in the series include a foaming shampoo for washing eyelashes and a serum that thickens and stimulates eyelash growth. Importantly, the products are available at affordable prices – their cost does not exceed PLN 40 (on the manufacturer’s website).
Diet for beautiful eyelashes and eyebrows
A properly balanced diet has a huge impact on the condition of the hair, and thus eyelashes and eyebrows. It must not lack omega-3 acids, which are valuable sources of fish, seafood, nuts and avocados. The beneficial effect of vitamin E on hair, skin and nails has been known for a long time. You will find it in sunflower seeds, olive oil, millet, groats and whole grain products. Equally important is biotin, which has a beneficial effect on hair growth and appearance. Its food sources include tomatoes, nuts, almonds and carrots. A natural way to long, healthy eyelashes will also be a diet rich in vegetables and fruits containing vitamins A, C, B vitamins and iron. It is also worth eating products containing silicon, which is a building block of hair – you will find it in bran and oatmeal, dairy products, beetroot, garlic, onion and rice.
