Always wanted to get long lashes NATURALLY with no mascara? Here's what you need to do to get them

Eyelashes are one of the most striking features of the face. Films and beauty commercials have glamourised the idea of long lashes which has led to the rise in purchase of things like extensions and mascara which are artificial ways of extending lashes that also frame the face well. 

Regular use of these artificial methods tends to weaken the natural lashes and lead to hairfall and thinning of the lash hair. 

Ever wanted to get lengthy and full lashes naturally and kept wondering how? Just follow these simple steps. 

Before following the steps, ensure your lashes are thoroughly cleaned with water and a mild cleanser and then pat them dry. 

Apply essential oils

Oils like castor oil, coconut oil, Vitamin E and more aid in hair growth. Oils are also known for moisturing the hair and adding nourishing and vital mineral and nutrients to the hair follicles. The penetrating effect of the oils is excellent for hair growth and prevents the loss of proteins and avoids thinning of the hair and promotes regrowth.

Leave the oil on overnight and rinse off the next morning. 

While applying these oils, just ensure that it doesn't go into your eyes as it can cause a huge burning sensation. 

Apply Green Tea

This kind of tea is rich in minerals that are well-known for promoting hair growth. All you need to do is make the green tea concoction and apply it to your upper and lower lashes using a cotton swab. Apply this twice everyday - once in the morning and once before sleeping for best results. 

Make sure this also doesn't get into your eyes as it could sting. 

Apply Petroleum Jelly

One of the benefits of petroleum jelly is that it keeps your eyelid moisturised and helps get rid of eyelash mites that feast on dirty lashes and causes them to thin out and fall out. 

Have a balanced diet

Include greens and dietary food in your diet that aids hair growth. While doing all of the above, you also need to ensure that your body is healthy and clean, so the hair gets nourishment even from the body. 

Cleanse your lashes well

Using a mild cleanser and regularly cleaning your lashes or eyelid shampoo and ensuring the area is clean will definitely boost the growth. 

Avoid using bad makeup

Low quality makeup is one of the biggest reasons for lashes thinning out and not growing completely. Purchasing and using cheap makeup can also lead to infections and and trigger allergies that can cause serious damage to health. 

Massage

Massaging the area helps improve circulation which leads to better hair health. Massaging your eyelids with either essential oils or moisturiser can improve the hair length and thickness.

Further, limit the use of things like eyelash extensions, mascara and ensure you remove all the makeup before going to bed.
