Castor oil is enriched in vitamin E, fatty acids, and minerals that can offer many benefits. Tap to learn the most effective way to use castor oil for eyelash growth and thickness.
GATHER SUPPLIES
Choose cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil, as it keeps more nutrients and is safe to use near the eyes. Get a clean mascara wand, cotton swab or small brush ready to use.
CLEAN YOUR FACE
Clean your face well to get rid of any makeup, dirt or oils from your eyes and the area around them.
REMOVE CONTACT LENSES
If you have contact lenses, take them off before putting on castor oil to avoid any bother.
DIP MASCARA WAND OR COTTON SWAB
Use a clean mascara wand, cotton swab or small brush to remove castor oil from the bottle. Make sure the person using it has a little bit of oil so there isn't too much dripping.
APPLY ON EYELASHES
Begin at your eyelashes' bottom and put the castor oil on in a soft way. Move from the base to the tips along the lash line while doing this task. Make sure the oil is spread out evenly.
USE COTTON SWAB
If using a mascara wand is hard, you can apply the oil more carefully with a little brush or cotton. Make sure you use a clean, hygienic brush.
AVOID EXCESS
Be careful not to use too much castor oil because it can make your hair greasy. A little bit is enough for both eyes.
APPLY BEFORE BED
The best time to apply castor oil on eyelashes is at night, as oil can nourish your lashes during your good night's sleep.
BE CONSISTENT
For the best results, be consistent with this routine. Try to put castor oil on your eyelashes 3–4 times a week.
PRECAUTION
Be careful not to let castor oil touch your eyes. If it occurs, wash your eyes well with water.
CONCLUSION
Follow these steps to use castor oil for eyelash growth and thickness. Individual results may vary.
