Natural Home Remedies That May Give You Longer Eyelashes

Natural Home Remedies That May Give You Longer Eyelashes

1. Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that can aid in the reduction of oxidative damage that leads to hair loss. It also includes tocotrienol chemicals, which may aid in the growth of additional hair strands. As a result, it may aid in the growth of longer eyelashes.

What To Do: Vitamin E can be applied topically to your lashes. It is even safe to ingest as an oral supplement. But before taking the supplements, talk to your doctor for the correct dosage.

2. Green Tea

Green tea is a rich source of a polyphenol called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which can help promote hair growth. Hence, it may also help in aiding the growth of your lashes.

What To Do: You will need 1 teaspoon of green tea leaves (or 1 teabag) and 1 cup of hot water. Mix the two ingredients and steep for 5-10 minutes. Strain the liquid and drink it warm. You can also cool the tea and apply it topically to your upper and lower lash lines using a cotton swab. Drink the tea twice a day and use it topically once daily.

3. Lemon Peel Oil

In a study published in Parasitology Research, it was found that lemon oil could help in the treatment of eyelash mites and promote faster hair growth. However, this study was conducted on rabbits. More studies are needed to establish the same effects on humans.
