Introduction:
The eternal pursuit of longer, fuller lashes is real. Some seek them through falsies, some through extensions. We profess you do it via natural means like a lash serum. But most lash serums in the market, even some professional ones, aren’t as clean as they profess. So then, what to do? How to bring those strong, healthy, luscious lashes to life?
Allow us to help you. Here’s a blog detailing DIY lash serums — your natural alternatives for healthier, stronger lashes. All you need is your kitchen ingredients, some regular oils, and a vial to store your natural lash serum in.
1. Castor Oil and Vitamin E Serum Lash Serum:
• As per the ancient Indian scriptures of Ayurveda, Castor Oil is a hair-strengthening oil. This makes it perfect for a natural eyelash serum.
• Castor oil is also a popular contemporary choice for promoting hair growth, including lashes. It is very rich in fatty acids that nourish and hydrate your eyelashes, while vitamin E adds an extra boost of nourishment.
• Mix equal parts of castor oil and vitamin E oil in a small dropper bottle. Shake well to make sure they are integrated completely.
• Now apply a small amount to your lashes using a clean mascara wand or a cotton swab before bedtime.
• Make sure to go down to the lash line, to help strengthen the roots.
• Gently massage the serum into your lashes and leave it on overnight.
• Repeat daily for best results.
2. Coconut Oil and Lavender Essential Oil Lash Serum:
• Coconut oil is a skin lover’s dream. It is also a popular hair oil in Asian as well as Middle Eastern cultures.
• It is well-known for its moisturizing properties, and when combined with lavender essential oil, it can help stimulate hair follicles and promote lash growth.
• Mix 1 tablespoon of melted organic coconut oil with 2-3 drops of lavender essential oil in a small bowl.
• You will be mesmerized by the beautiful fragrance at first!
• Using a clean mascara wand apply the mixture to your lashes before going to bed.
• Be careful not to get the mixture in your eyes, as essential oils can be irritating.
• Leave the serum on overnight and rinse off in the morning.
• Use this serum every night for optimal results.
3. Green Tea and Aloe Vera Lash Serum:
• Green tea is packed with antioxidants. It is known to help protect and strengthen lashes.
• Aloe vera soothes and moisturizes, keeping your lashes looking young and stunning.
• This natural lash serum requires a little more than just mixing the ingredients.
• Brew a cup of green tea and let it cool to room temperature.
• Now mix 2 tablespoons of brewed green tea with 1 tablespoon of pure aloe vera gel in a small bowl. You can use store-bought gel or harness fresh aloe gel from a leaf.
• Use a clean mascara wand to apply the mixture to your lashes.
• Leave it on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Like a hair mask.
• Pat your lashes dry gently with a clean towel.
• Use this serum/mask 2-3 times a week for best results.
4. Almond Oil and Rosemary Essential Oil Lash Serum:
• Almond oil is rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish the eyelashes. Rosemary, among its many cooking benefits, is also popular to stimulate blood circulation to the hair follicles.
• You can use rosemary essential oil for maximum benefits and a lovely fragrance.
• Mix 1 tablespoon of almond oil with 2-3 drops of rosemary essential oil in a small dropper bottle.
• Apply a tiny amount to your lashes using a clean mascara wand every night.
• Gently massage this eyelash serum into your lashes and leave it on overnight.
• Rinse off with lukewarm water in the morning.
• Use this serum regularly for noticeable results.
Conclusion:
Remember, consistency is key when it comes to seeing results with natural lash serums. While these DIY recipes can help promote healthier, stronger lashes, it is pertinent that you be patient. Hair growth takes weeks, even months. Let it take its own time. Also, if you experience any irritation or discomfort, please discontinue use immediately and consult with a dermatologist. And if you are busy with routine life and feel like getting a ready-made natural lash serum, then order the Savarnas Eyelash Serum — an Ayurveda-inspired medical-grade product made with natural active ingredients.
