5 Natural Ways to Grow Your LashesHow to naturally improve the health — and length! — of your lashes to Kardashian heights |
Consider oil treatments. Much like you turn to essential oil treatments to help you manage stress, find your zen in yoga or heal rashes and bumps, dabs of these formulated bad boys can also play a part in the growth of your eyelashes. King says that, while there isn't hard data to confirm their specific benefits, castor oil, coconut oil and olive oil are all recommended as repairing solutions. "They may be helpful if the eyelashes are becoming brittle and broken due to use of mascara and adhesives and false eyelashes and curling devices," he explains.
Dermatologist Dr. Anna Guanche says castor oil might be your best bet since it's been shown to induce brow and hair growth. Consider yourself warned though, since she adds its super-oily and silky texture can cause breakouts for those with sensitive skin. And be mindful of what you're buying by reading labels carefully. "Vitamin E oil alone doesn't really induce hair growth, but castor oil is rich in vitamin E, which can cause confusion," she shares.
