How to have naturally long and thick eyelashes
Eyelash extensions can give the impression that you have voluminous lashes. When removing them, though, they can damage your real lashes. This is the number one reason why you should favour a natural approach more often than not when it comes to your eyelashes. The following tips and tricks are also time-efficient, as well as budget-friendly, so why not give them a try?
1 Eating foods rich in vitamins
To begin with, some foods are well-known to help hair growth. For instance, salmon is rich in Omega-3, greek yogurt in vitamin B5 and citrus fruits in vitamin C. Spinach is also a gold mine when it comes to vitamins, as it’s an important source of vitamin A, C, B9 as well as iron. All these vitamins will help your lashes being strong and healthy.
Having a balanced diet when it comes to proteins and iron will also contribute to your eyelashes’ health.
If cooking isn’t your strong suit, you may want to consider taking vitamin supplements.
2 Choosing your mascara
Of course, the best way to have long eyelashes without using extensions is to use the appropriate mascara. Choose mascara with a volumizing effect, with its formula and brush specially designed for this purpose. Moreover, avoid waterproof mascara—it’s harder to remove. You will be less at risk to damage your lashes if you use a mascara that isn’t waterproof.
5 Massaging your eye
Once your makeup is completely removed, you can give yourself an eye massage once or twice a week. Start by applying a warm compress or washcloth to your eyes. You can also take this moment to relax. Massage your eyelids gently, sweeping your finger along the length of your lower eyelid. Repeat this movement slowly, for 30 seconds. Then, close your eyes and similarly massage your upper eyelids. If you experience discomfort while doing this, try applying less pressure.
Massaging your eyelids will keep your pores clean, and it will also increase blood flow as well as stimulate hair growth. Bonus: it’s also good for your vision!
