Even the perfect eye makeup can be ruined by an ugly eyebrow line. Therefore, everyone knows that well-groomed women are distinguished not only by good skin, regular make-up, but also with beautiful thick eyebrows. One of the main means for eyebrows care is castor oil. This unique oil finds its application in cosmetics for hair and facial skin, and is also a good tool for eyebrows.
Castor oil for eyebrows: effect
Castor oil acts on the hair in several directions at once:
- Acceleration of hair growth. Castor oil for the growth of eyebrows used also by our grandmothers, since natural oil is an excellent source of nutrition and moisturizing.
- Restoring the thickness of the eyebrows. It is known that sometimes after regular plucking the eyebrows cease to grow. Castor oil restores the functions of regeneration and renewal of skin cells, which leads to the formation of new hairs and their active growth.
- An excellent supply of eyebrow hairs is due to ricinoleic acid, which accounts for almost 90% of castor oil.
Castor oil can be combined with any vitamins and other oils. A particularly good effect is the addition of drops of vitamin A.
For hard hairs, castor oil is ideal as a mixture with olive oil. Such a recipe will help to make the eyebrows soft and obedient.
Castor oil for the growth of eyebrows and eyelashes is stored no more than 24 months from the date of manufacture, and not the date of opening the jar. Therefore, when choosing the oil in the pharmacy, pay attention to the date of manufacture and remember that the oil with expired shelf life does not bring any benefit, but only clogs the pores. In addition, castor oil can not be used during pregnancy, as warned in the instructions.
Castor oil for eyebrows: application
Despite the excellent nutritional properties of the oil, the effect of its application will not be seen immediately. It takes at least a couple of months to notice the effect, and a tangible result appears after six months of using castor oil. Such terms are due to the fact that the effect is achieved by a cumulative and curative, and not just a cosmetic effect. Castor oil is known as a nourishing oil for eyebrows and eyelashes, but the effect it gives only with regular application.
Application of castor oil
How to apply castor oil:
- choose a comb-brush for the eyebrows, which you will apply only castor oil. An old brush from carcass (naturally, ideally washed) will do;
- apply the oil best before bedtime, so that it is on the eyebrows all night;
- Oil is applied with a brush first against the growth of hairs, then on the growth of the eyebrows;
- so that the oil works, you need to leave it on the hairs for the whole night;
- In the morning, rinse the castor oil with the usual means for washing.
If the plans do not allow you to carry out the procedure at night, you should not abandon it altogether. In the restoration of eyebrows with castor oil, regularity is important. It is better to use the oil and leave it on the eyebrows for at least half an hour, and then wash it off than completely skip the procedure.
In addition, it is advised to use oil in combination with a gentle massage of the eyebrows and on the skin after the shower. Not worth it
- Light massage warms the skin, contributing to a faster penetration of the oil;
- During the massage, blood circulation is restored in the areas of the skin around the eyebrows and eyes, which prevents wrinkles;
- The steamed skin is easier and faster to take nutrients, because the pores of the skin are "uncovered."
Especially important advice with massage in the implementation of a rapid application of oil, in which it is especially important to exert all efforts for the most active effect of the oil.
