Here are some tips that work most efficiently, but we must emphasize that we cannot guarantee success, as each formula presented here affects individuals differently. Also, sometimes multiple mixtures need to be tried, and you may have to wait for several months before seeing any changes. If you have patience and don't give up easily, try the following tips:
Castor Oil / Castor Oil with Aloe Vera
Rich in nourishing ingredients, castor oil not only nourishes the eyelash follicles but also helps combat bacteria and other nuisances that inhibit growth.
Usage: All you need to do is apply the oil using a cotton swab on clean lashes before going to bed. Leave the oil on the lashes until the next morning, then rinse with lukewarm water. A second option is to mix two tablespoons of castor oil with two tablespoons of 100% natural aloe vera gel and perform the same procedure. In the morning, wash the gel off the lashes with warm water, and repeat every night for two to three months.
Olive Oil
Rich in Vitamin E, oleic acid, and other nourishing and essential components, olive oil has been known for years as a natural remedy for hair growth, including lashes. What you need to do is clean your lashes thoroughly with cotton swabs and warm water. Slightly warm the olive oil and then gently apply it to your lashes. You can apply the olive oil using a mascara wand 'free' of product, and leave it on overnight. In the morning, rinse your eyes with warm water, but avoid using soap around the eyes.
Green Tea Extract Compresses
Green tea contains many flavonoids, which, among other things, stimulate hair follicle growth. All you need to do to thicken your lashes with its help is to prepare any organic infusion and set it aside to cool. Use a cotton swab to apply the liquid to the lashes and leave it in place for 15-20 minutes. Then rinse with lukewarm water.
Repeat the process three times a day for three months (but avoid getting the substance in your eyes).
