Fluffy and long eyelashes - this is the dream of every girl and woman. However, not everyone can boast of such eyelashes from nature. Many, in order to achieve this result, have to work hard.
But even good genetics sometimes fails, and beautiful eyelashes lose their appearance, become brittle, grow more slowly, fall out more often. Daily makeup adversely affects the condition of the eyelashes and the skin around the eyes.
The popular extension procedure also degrades the quality, making them thinner and weaker. That is why it is important to care for the eyelashes, to feed them with oils for growth and recovery.
Can oils help eyelashes grow?
Most store eyelash care products have an oily base. This is not accidental, because oils nourish, restore structure and promote growth. These properties are based on the content of various vitamins and minerals, depending on the selected product, as well as unsaturated fatty acids.
Also, this product, due to its structure, has high enveloping characteristics, and therefore it is well absorbed into the hairs and brings useful substances to the target.
Why do oils help lashes grow? Hair bulbs all over the body are usually shrouded in capillaries. Eyelashes in this sense are in the most advantageous position, as the network of thin capillaries on the eyelids is visible to the naked eye.
The thinnest tissues easily pass the beneficial substances contained in oil solutions into the blood, thereby accelerating their absorption and enhancing eyelash growth. Stimulation of the bulbs, which often accompanies the process of applying the composition, only multiplies this effect.
Effect of various oils on the quality and rate of growth of eyelashes
Oils from various plants have slightly different characteristics. For many years, the beauties of all nations have identified some of them for hair care, including for improving eyelashes and eyebrows.
So, what kind of oil is better for the growth and thickness of eyelashes:
- castor oil is a thick, colorless or slightly yellowish, odorless product, with a slightly pronounced taste; Previously, castor oil was used only for medical purposes, however, it was later found that it perfectly cares for hair, enveloping them, but without creating a film; Castor oil is rich in acids, such as linoleic, oleic and ricinole, which nourish the hair, smooth the structure and penetrate deeply, having a beneficial effect on the bulb; castor oil accelerates growth slightly due to nutrition, but more affects quality;
- burdock oil is burdock root infused with olive or peach oil; The root system of this plant contains a large amount of essential oils, inulin, fatty acids, sitosterol, stigmasterol and other substances that help strengthen the hair follicle and accelerate hair growth; oils, which are taken as a basis for infusion, have high nutritional characteristics, smooth scales, saturate capillaries with vitamins;
- wheat germ oil - germinated seeds and grains are attributed rejuvenating properties, as they are saturated with useful substances, minerals and vitamins; due to the content of vitamins A and E, wheat germ oil promotes the growth and nourishment of hair follicles; massage with this product improves the quality of eyelashes and accelerates their growth;
- grape seed oil has properties similar to wheat germ; it is very useful both for ingestion and for external application; vitamins and substances contained in it rejuvenate the cells, promoting growth.

How to apply oil on eyelashes at home
All oils are applied to eyelashes, pre-cleared of makeup. To do this, you can use them directly, as they do an excellent job of this task, enveloping each eyelash and dissolving the mascara, which includes waxes.
Wax, as it is known, is perfectly soluble in any vegetable fat, therefore such a make-up removal is not only effective, but also has a caring effect, compared to special solutions, foams and other products.
Removing makeup with oil, you must use a cotton swab. Gently massage the upper and lower lashes with massage movements until the mascara is completely removed, then wash your face with warm water.

If while applying the composition slightly to massage the line of growth of eyelashes, you can enhance the effect by improving blood circulation, thereby accelerating the delivery of useful substances to the destination.
Buttered masks are useful not only for eyelashes, but also have a very beneficial effect on eyebrows. It is necessary to apply them simultaneously with the care of your eyelashes, so that after a while you will see an improvement.

Reviews on the use of oils for the growth of eyelashes
The use of oils for the care of eyelashes for a long time and successfully used by women of different generations and nations.
After the birth of my son, I noticed a general deterioration of the skin, hair, nails and, of course, eyelashes. I have never complained about their quality before, but during pregnancy they seemed to stop growing altogether, but they began to fall out even stronger. I panicked, and coming out of the hospital immediately went to the pharmacy, where I bought a burdock oil I knew from childhood. Put it every night before bed. A month later, my eyelashes began to fall out less, and after two I forgot that I was worried. My eyes again received a fluffy and beautiful frame.

I could never boast of thick and long eyelashes, so when the fashion for building appeared, I immediately joined this movement. After removing the cilia, I went to the master for correction and did build up again, however, at one point, the master went on vacation, and I was left without eyelashes. Crumbled bunches left only the memories of past beauty in their eyes, and there was no one to ask for help. Then I found on the Internet information about the magical properties of castor oil. I can not say that I have something grown, but the return of my master, I brought my eyelashes in order, which is already good.
