How to Have Beautiful Eyelashes and Eyebrows Using Castor Oil

Castor oil is rich in vitamins and minerals and is an ingredient of numerous traditional remedies. While there is some controversy as to the use of castor oil for hair growth, many stand by the claims. And, if you have thin eyelashes and eyebrows, it might be time to give it a try.

Things You'll Need

• Mascara wand
• Mild soap
• Castor oil
• Tissue

Instructions

1. Remove the wand from an old tube of mascara and clean it thoroughly. Make sure that there is absolutely no trace of makeup left on the brush before you use it to apply castor oil. If you like, you can wipe off all of the makeup and then place the wand in the dishwasher. This will also help to ensure that the wand is free from bacteria.

2. Wash your face with a mild soap and remove all traces of makeup from your eyelashes and eyebrows. Dip the mascara wand into castor oil and tap off any excess oil. It is important to only apply a thin layer, so use a clean tissue to dab away drips from the wand if necessary.

3. Brush the oil evenly through your eyebrows from inner to out tip. Then use the wand to apply the castor oil to your eyelashes, just as you would mascara, from root to tip.

4. Leave the castor oil on overnight and rinse of with a mild soap in the morning before you apply your makeup.

Tips & Warnings

• Only use the castor oil treatments two or three times a week. While rare, some people may have allergic reactions. See a dermatologist if you experience any redness on the skin around your eyebrows and eyelashes.
