We meticulously care for our skin and hair daily—why not extend that attention to our eyelashes? Constantly subjected to makeup and long wear, they deserve dedicated care. Simple, proven routines can strengthen and revitalize them.
Proper makeup removal is foundational for skin and lash health, allowing them to breathe after a day under layers of product. Yet many skip this step, waking with mascara smudges. Take time each night using gentle, eye-safe removers. Oils like makeup remover oils, hemp, or coconut work best—they dissolve stubborn makeup without harsh rubbing on delicate skin.
Oils' nourishing properties promote lash growth and prevent breakage. Top choices include castor oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil, and avocado oil. Mix them or use one; apply a few drops nightly to lashes, gently massaging for absorption (avoid eye contact). Leave on overnight for deep conditioning. For easy application, whip up a homemade blend and use a clean, old mascara wand rinsed in hot water.
A balanced diet supports lash strength body-wide. Incorporate magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B6 from sources like liver, fish, bananas, dried beans, wholemeal flours, fruits, and vegetables.
Opt for clean formulas. Boho Green Make Up's Intense Black Natural Volume Mascara stands out—99.96% natural origin, vegan, with carnauba wax and flaxseed for protection and volume. Its anti-clump brush curls and lengthens without damage.
