It is said that the attractiveness of the face can be seen in the eyes, and if the eyes are attractive, the face becomes much more beautiful. However, due to dust and pollution, not only does the hair on the head fall out, but so do the eyelids and eyelashes. In such a case, if you want your eyelashes to be long and thick but don’t want to spend money on salon treatments, here’s a list of three home remedies that will give you thick and long eyelashes.
Green Tea
Make a cup of green tea and let it cool till room temperature. Dip a cotton ball or pad in green tea and gently massage it on your eyes. Green tea is high in antioxidants and can promote hair growth, especially eyelashes.
Aloe vera gel
Use organic aloe vera gel or extract fresh aloe vera gel from an aloe vera leaf. Using a clean mascara wand or your fingers, apply a little quantity of aloe vera gel to your lashes. Let it stay for 15 to 20 minutes, then wash it off with water. Aloe vera provides vitamins and minerals that can help nourish and moisten your lashes.
Petroleum jelly
Using clean hands or a cotton swab, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to your eyelashes. Let it sit overnight and wash it off the next morning with lukewarm water. Petroleum jelly can keep your eyelashes from breaking and aid in maintaining moisture.
