Even before the onset of modern fashion, women have always desired to have thick and long eyelashes. They add elegance to your eyes, highlight your facial features, and boost your self-esteem.

However, for those who do not want to always rely on mascara or use false eyelashes, there are several ways they can use to enhance their natural lashes.

In this post, we’ll explore six effective tips to help you achieve bold lashes that turn heads, all while keeping your beauty routine simple and natural.

Adopt a Nourishing Diet for Healthy Eyelashes

The underlying cause of healthy eyelashes is a balanced diet. Similar to other body parts, your lashes need certain nutrients from vitamins and minerals. Such nutrients include biotin, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids that promote healthier lash growth.

Vitamin E from almonds, leafy greens, and avocado acts as an antioxidant that guards against damage your eyelashes may suffer. 

Finally, omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil, flaxseeds, or walnuts nourish hair follicles that support lash growth.

Invest in Lash Tinting

Using a lash tint procedure allows eyelashes to appear darker and more outlined but not permanently. In this procedure, a specially formulated dye to your lashes, is applied which can last for up to two months, making any daily use of mascara unnecessary.

This treatment is particularly beneficial for those who have naturally light-colored or thin eyelashes as it makes them more visible enhancing your overall look. You can find professionals providing such services in beauty salons but nowadays even home kits are available for people who like the DIY approach.

You can save time in your daily routine by investing in lash tinting and still get the dramatic lashes you have always desired.

Proper Eye Care 

Good care of the eyes is essential in ensuring that your lashes remain healthy. Start with gentle cleansing to eliminate dirt particles. This helps remove excess oil as well as makeup remains on the lids and lash areas. 

Avoid using harsh substances or rubbing them harshly as such things may lead to damage on the mild lash line. Use a milder cleanser that doesn’t contain oil, then pat dry your eyes softly using a clean towel. Additionally, avoid sleeping in your makeup, as it can clog hair follicles and inhibit lash growth. 

Regular Lash Conditioning

Regular conditioning can prevent brittleness and breakage, making your lashes appear fuller and healthier. There are numerous commercial products available online but you can also use simple home remedies including coconut oil or aloe vera gel. 

Simply apply some with a clean spoolie brush on your lashes right before you sleep and leave it to soak overnight. When done consistently, they will become softer, thicker, and less prone to breakage.

Lash Serums and Natural Oils

For instance, using lash serums has become very popular among individuals looking for ways to enhance their natural eyelashes. Such products usually contain peptides and vitamins or other nourishing ingredients that stimulate the growth of hair follicles to promote new ones.

When selecting an eyelash serum, ensure it does not contain any harmful chemicals and is approved by an ophthalmologist. Also, castor oil together with olive oil is effective in achieving longer and fuller lashes.

Before going to bed at night just use a small amount with a clean brush or cotton swab and let nature do its job while you sleep.
