The eyelashes give a special frame to the look. Although we use the best quality mascara, having long and naturally arched lashes is truly a beauty goal for everyone. But there is a downside: lashes grow much slower than hair, and some women don't have very long lashes.
Can you do something about it? Of course. Let's look at some homemade tricks to grow eyelashes.
Nutrients that help lash growth
A fundamental aspect to stimulate the growth of eyelashes is nutrition. There are vitamins and minerals that help its growth:
Vitamin H
This B-complex vitamin helps metabolize fat and protein, resulting in more healthy hair growth, including eyelashes. There are vitamin H supplements to stimulate hair growth, and we also find this nutrient in foods such as egg yolks, yeast, sardines, legumes, and nuts.
Omega 3 fatty acids
It is considered the essential nutrient for healthy hair as it helps absorb vitamins A, D, E and K effectively to nourish hair. Choose fish and supplements with these fatty acids to help lash growth.
Antioxidants
A diet rich in antioxidants promotes healthy hair and eyelashes. Antioxidants have a protective effect on the hair: you can apply a repair serum on your eyelashes and consume foods rich in antioxidants such as cherries, apples, pears, green leafy vegetables, legumes, fish, nuts and olive oil.
