Every woman strives to maintain youth and beauty by all possible means. And the closest attention we usually pay to the skin of the face. At the same time, eyebrows and eyelashes are often left without proper care, although they need it no less.
Eyebrows are fine
Even for beauties who diligently take care of themselves, it becomes a revelation that the eyebrows need to be combed every day. For this purpose, there are special brushes with synthetic and natural lint. The role of a “comb” is suitable for a brush from an old mascara or a regular toothbrush. Of course, they must be thoroughly washed and dried before use. Comb the eyebrows with smooth movements along the growth line, from the bridge of the nose to the temples.
A light massage will tone your eyebrows. Walk the entire length of your eyebrows with your fingertips, making patting, pinching, and stroking movements. Perform these simple manipulations for 5 minutes before going to bed twice a week. As a result, the microcirculation of the blood will improve, and the eyebrows will become thicker and more beautiful.
The main product for eyebrows is all kinds of vegetable oils. Olive oil and sesame oil can be added to food. Almond, burdock and castor oil are excellent for cosmetic procedures. The easiest and most effective thing to do with the oil is to rub it into your eyebrows and leave it to soak for 30 minutes. After that, you need to remove the remnants with a cotton pad with lotion.
How to oil your eyelashes
If nature has not awarded lush eyelashes, it can always be corrected. And this will help the main product for the growth of eyelashes — castor oil. We take the tube from the old carcass, wash it well, pour in 10-15 drops of oil, a capsule of vitamins A and E, close it tightly and shake it. Apply this “cocktail” to the eyelashes an hour before bedtime, and in a month they will actually become thicker and longer.
Other eyelash oils are also good. Sea buckthorn strengthens brittle eyelashes. Almond prevents hair loss. Burdock perfectly stimulates growth. Nutty nourishes with vitamins and amino acids. Olive oil gives a richness and softness. Linseed oil saturates with moisture. Before using the oil, find out if you have any allergies. And to avoid irritation, try not to get it in your eyes.
Be sure to choose a high-quality mascara, preferably enriched with nutrients: keratin, melanin, vitamins A,B5, E and F. If your eyes are itchy and watery, switch to mascara for sensitive eyes. And in any case, do not store the mascara for longer than the prescribed 2-3 months, otherwise it will begin to harm the eyelashes and eyes.
Masks in miniature
To maintain the beauty and health of the eyebrows, you can not do without home-made eyebrow masks. Chop 5 sprigs of parsley, pour 1 tbsp. l. of aloe juice, apply the gruel on the eyebrows for 15 minutes. The remains are removed with mineral water. This mask will restore the hair after an unsuccessful plucking. Very effective oil mask-mix. Mix 0.5 tsp of linseed, burdock and grape oils. Rub the mixture into the eyebrows, cover with cotton pads for 15 minutes. At the end, we wash with warm water and baby soap. This mask will strengthen your eyebrows for a long time.
Cosmetic compresses are no less effective. Pour 2 fruits of dried figs 50 ml of milk, simmer on the fire until softened and knead into a pulp. We divide it in half, wrap it in pieces of gauze, apply it to the eyebrows for 30 minutes, and then wash it off with mineral water. For another recipe, mix 15 ml of carrot juice with an ampoule of vitamin A. We moisten cotton pads in the mixture, put them on the eyebrows, cover with pieces of cellophane and fix them with a plaster. We leave the compresses for the whole night, and in the morning we wash the eyebrows with warm water. Both of these products nourish the skin cells and make the hair stronger.
A view with a haze
We have already mentioned the invaluable benefits of oils for eyelashes. Here is another recipe for an eyelash mask with burdock oil to enhance growth. Rub through a sieve 1 tbsp. l. rosehip berries and mix with 3 tbsp. l. burdock oil. We keep the mixture in the heat for a day, and you can apply it to the eyelashes.
Gelatin mask deeply restores the structure of the hair. Soak 10 g of gelatin in 30 ml of warm water for 15 minutes. Then add 10 g of cucumber pulp and apply the mask to the eyelashes for 20 minutes. An excellent toning effect has an almond-lemon mask. Dilute in 30 ml of warmed almond oil 15 ml of lemon juice, gently apply to the eyelashes for 5 minutes. This mask also removes bags under the eyes and gives the skin a fresh look, so it is better to do it in the morning.
Herbal compresses have a beneficial effect on the condition of the eyelashes. In this sense, the best friends of eyelashes are chamomile, cornflower and calendula. Pour 1 tbsp. l. mixture of dried herbs 250 ml of boiling water, insist under a saucer for 2 hours and filter. We moisten the cotton pads in the infusion and keep them on the eyelids for 20 minutes. This procedure will benefit both the eyelashes and the eye mucosa.
