If you’re looking to add a little volume and length to your eyelashes using ingredients easily found in your kitchen, we’ve got you covered. These simple DIY treatments can help promote lash growth and make them appear fuller and healthier.
DIY #1: Lemon Peel Treatment
Lemon peels are rich in vitamins A and C, which are great for promoting hair growth.
Steps:
- Peel one or two lemons.
- Add a few tablespoons of coconut or olive oil to a small jar.
- Place the lemon peels in the jar and press them against the sides to extract the juice.
- Let the mixture sit overnight in the fridge.
- In the morning, dip a cotton swab or Q-tip into the mixture and apply it carefully to your upper and lower lashes, avoiding the eyes.
- Leave it on for a few hours or overnight, then rinse off.
Repeat this treatment 2-3 times a week for best results.
DIY #2: Vitamin E Treatment
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative damage, which can contribute to hair loss. Its tocotrienol compounds can help promote fuller, longer lashes.
Steps:
- Take a few drops of Vitamin E oil and gently massage it onto your eyelashes.
- Leave it on overnight and rinse off in the morning.
For a gel-like consistency, mix a few drops of Vitamin E oil with aloe vera gel. This makes it easier to apply, and you can leave it on overnight for a nourishing treatment.
DIY #3: Coconut Oil or Olive Oil Treatment
Coconut oil and olive oil are well-known for their hair care benefits, thanks to their ability to penetrate deeply and help prevent protein loss in hair.
Steps:
- Take 1 teaspoon of cold-pressed coconut oil or olive oil.
- Cleanse your lashes with mild soap and water, then pat them dry.
- Dip a cotton swab in the oil and apply it carefully along your upper and lower lash lines, avoiding the eyes.
- Leave the oil on overnight and rinse it off the following morning.
These treatments are natural, simple, and can be done a few times a week for healthier, longer lashes!
