If you’re trying to get longer and thicker eyelashes, there are several home treatments
that you can use. Even doing a quick google search for “how to grow eyelashes” youll find a long list
of home remedies. However,a lot of these remedies are not scientifically proven, and in some cases
they could even damage your eyes. You got to be careful. But you also got to know what the best
way is to grow long thick eyelashes, so hopefully this video can point you in the right direction.
So before I begin, the only thing I ask, is to drop a like on this video below,
it seriously helps my channel out and I would love to have you subscribed as well,
as I post every week and l enjoy reading and replying to your comments.
Also if youre new here, let me know in the comments and let me know how I can help.
Now without further ado, let’s figure out how to get you longer and thicker lashes, starting
with whats the root cause. Also, you want to stay tuned till end, because ill reveal to you guys
one mistake that you are doing right now, that is costing you your eyelashes. So if you want
to know what it is, watch till the very end, and youll find out what you must absolutely avoid.
On average, humans have 90 to 150 eyelashes on the upper lid and 70 to 80 eyelashes on the bottom
lash line. But as with everything, we're not all average and you will always find the exceptions.
Some have as few as 50 lashes and some with 200 plus on their upper lid.The reason for Short and
thin eyelashes may be due to hereditary factors but there are a number of reasons that are causing
them to fall out or getting thinner. These include factors like stress, hormonal imbalance, dryness
on the lids and aging. You may have even heard of Breakage of eyelashes, which we know is caused
by using expired or bad quality makeup products, rubbing or wiping makeup roughly, and diet. And as
far as the thinning of eyelashes, this can be an outcome of poor hygiene of the eye, which is more
common than you think, and underlying medical conditions and so on. Whatever the reason is,
do not worry, because it is reversible and yes you can get back and get fuller, fluttery lashes.
The first thing you want to ask yourself if your trying to grow longer and thicker lashes,
is how is your eyelash grooming. Proper eyelash maintenance can improve the health
of your eyelashes, making it less likely for them to break. Which is exactly what we want.
Do me a favor and ask yourself if your doing these 3 things. Am I regularly brushing my
eyelashes with an eyelash brush, Am I washing my face and eyes with a gentle cleanser?
And lastly, Am i removing eye makeup at the end of each day? If you answered Yes,
to all three questions. Then congratulations, you are keeping up with proper eyelash maintenance.
It is incredibly important to remember these first steps, because think about it, Eye makeup, mucus,
and oil can stick in those lashes (even eyelash glue, if you're partial to extensions)—too much
buildup, and it could limit lash growth, even causing a flutter or two to fall out.
Secondly: Use Castor oil. Although there is not enough hard evidence behind this. Castor oil
helps to fight off the microorganisms that could hinder hair growth. So to do this effectively,
Before bed when youre ready to sleep, make sure your eyelashes are clean and makeup is removed,
use a clean brush or cotton swab and run the oil along the top of your lash line.
Then simply leave it on overnight and rinse it off the next morning. You'll begin seeing results with
regular use over two to three months. There are 3 major reasons why I love castor oil. The first
is because castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which is a fatty acid that has antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory properties. Now Ricinoleic acid has been used in scalp baldness as it may help
inhibit PGD2 and potentially help scalp hair grow. Which is why its now also used for eyelashes as it
may help support eyelash strand health. Secondly, it has a solid amount of vitamin E, which can help
protect your eyelashes from environmental damage. And The third is because, castor oil is both an
emollient and an occlusive. Which basically means it's able to penetrate into the strands
and keep moisture from escaping. But Before you purchase any castor oil,
you got to make sure it’s pure castor oil. Castor oil that has been blended with other
oils or ingredients may cause irritation and not produce the results you want. And on the market,
you got two types of castor oil. The first is gonna be your cold-pressed castor oil,
which is clear in color. The second is Jamaican black castor oil, which is dark brown in color.
Both of these suffice and I would take it a step further and make sure it is also
USDA organic castor oil. I will link one that I recommend down in the description below,
so definitely check that one out. Thirdly: Consider an eyelash conditioner.
The reason why I suggest one is because Lash conditioners can help strengthen the lash,
prevent them from breaking, and can lightly swell them up so they look a little thicker.
Doing a little research and digging, I found promising reviews from the ADVANCED EYELASH
Conditioner from Revitalash cosmetics. They use what they call High impact BioPeptin Complex™,
which are peptides and botanicals which saturate the lashes with moisture. Now Im not
sponsored by Revitalash at all, nor am I paid to promote them, I just think their proprietary blend
may be promising as it is patented in the United States for its curl effect. And 98% reported that
the overall appearance of their eyelash improved in 6 weeks. Dr. Michael Brinkenhoff, who is an
ophthalmologist created this serum for his beloved wife Gayle, to help her feel beautiful during her
courageous fight against breast cancer. Its backed by a beautiful story. And now RevitaLash Cosmetics
donates a portion of proceeds from sales to breast cancer research initiatives.
So shout out to you Dr. Brinkenhoff, youve done an amazing job, and have made a true impact.
Now if your wondering about eyelash hypotrichosis which is the condition when you have an inadequate
amount of eyelashes. Then the fastest approach would be to consult with your doctor
to see if the solution prescription Latisse, which is fda approved to make eyelashes longer,
thicker and darker would be a good solution for you. But I know I wanted to make this video on
natural remedies. I just wanted to include the traditional method in there as well.
And now, since you stayed this far for the bonus tip, drumroll please, the eyelash curler mistake.
You know those little silicone pads used in your metal curlers. They only last for just about three
months. They wear down, and you must replace them. Otherwise, you'll be crimping your lashes
between layers of metal. This is just as important of making sure you use your curlers before
you apply mascara to prevent cuticle damage. Let me know what your thoughts are. Im happy
