Secret Serum?

Teens are affected by social media, with skin and makeup. Most teens want beautiful long lashes, now the beauty standard. So, to solve that problem people use false eyelashes and eyelash glue. Another item used to grow eyelashes used is eyelash serum. Eyelash serum is effective but is it safe? Over time using these products can irritate the eye and later on become worse. 30% to 50% of women use false lashes. False lashes cost anywhere between 15 to 30 dollars. In addition, lash glue is needed alongside the lashes. Lash glue can be harmful, as it can get into the eye and scratch the cornea and lead to scarring. Even if you are careful with the lash glue the chemicals in it can also damage your eye, causing burning and itching to the eyes. A chemical in lash glue contains formaldehyde, which can cause a severe allergic reaction in the eye and can result in oozing and crusting. Formaldehyde is not to be used on the skin, let own on your eyes. Lash glue ranks as one of the most toxic beauty products, and can make you lose your natural lashes.

Another product used to have long lashes is, lash serum. Lash serum contains, of course, chemicals; they can be harmful. Lash serum can grow your lashes very long but can cause unwanted growth of hair in different places. Like lash glue, lash serum can irritate the eye and cause danger to the eyes; allergic reactions could occur after using lash serum. Not only the possibility of irritation to the eye from lash serum, but darkening on the eyelids can happen and decrease in vision. One more popular method used to lengthen lashes is lash extensions. Someone I know has lash extensions and has lost little to all of her eyelashes, which is a downfall of lash extensions. Lash extensions can also cause harm to the eye, resulting in redness, blurred vision, itching, pain, rash, swelling, and bloodshot eyes. But how can I get natural long eyelashes without harming my eyes?

Castor oil is the solution to all your eyelash problems! I've used castor oil for more than a year and received non-stop compliments on how long my eyelashes are. Everyone always asks me what mascara I am using, and my response is always: "I don't wear mascara." Castor oil is a more natural and cleaner way to grow my lashes. Before I started using castor oil on my lashes, my lashes were thin and short. The results show in a month and make your lashes longer and thicker. Castor oil is used for hair growth and eyelash growth, keeping them healthy and moisturized. Using castor oil is simple also, just apply with a brush starting from the roots to the tips every night. You can apply as much as you want, but it will get on your skin around the eye. Some people like to apply Vaseline or Aquaphor, but personally, I would stay away from it because it can cause irritation to the eye and does not grow your eyelashes, as it only makes them look fuller.

We should all be careful of using any products, even if they are natural. But we should try to lower the use of harmful products like false lashes and lash glue, lash serum, and lash extensions. For those who use these products, I am not here to force you to stop doing what you do but to share my knowledge on this topic and encourage everyone to try to cut down on harmful beauty products. Castor oil has many benefits to graciously.
