The eyes, as is commonly believed, are the mirror of the soul. And the soul must be not only pure, but also beautiful. The decoration of our eyes are our cilia.

In addition to aesthetic appeal, hair protects our eyes from various external factors, so healthy eyelashes are a contribution not only to beauty, but also to our health. In order to achieve a beautiful and healthy cilia, you need to care for them no less than hair, for example.
In pursuit of beauty, and maybe fashion, girls resort to various eyelash extension procedures, perm and other salon procedures, after which their native hairs look not the best way. Also widely advertised chemicals that accelerate the growth of eyelashes, one of the most popular caused the "boom" among the fair sex in an instant increased vegetation. However, after the use of such a tool, the work at the ophthalmologists is only added, the girls complained of discomfort in the eye area and even partial loss of vision!

Why do we need?
In addition to safety in the use of oils, there are a number of other advantages. Even those young ladies who have never resorted to salon procedures are susceptible to damage to eyelashes from various external factors. Eyelashes, as well as other components of our image, should be primarily groomed. Factors such as weather conditions (frost, sun, temperature changes), extension procedures and chemical curling of eyelashes, poor-quality cosmetics, lead to thinning of hairs above the eyes, changing their structure, they are less frequently updated, as a result of which they become brittle and dull.
The composition of various oils contain amino acids, fatty and polyunsaturated acids, vitamins and minerals. Acids and vitamins penetrate to the hair follicles and nourish them, stimulating blood circulation in these places, as a result of which the eyelashes grow faster and that is important, they renew faster. On average, healthy eyelashes are completely renewed in 90 days, the cilia die and fall out, and in their place grow new and healthy. The minerals that make up the oils change the structure of the hair follicle, which makes the cilia thicker in volume and less brittle.

How to apply?
Choose what to apply to the eyelashes. To do this, a brush from the mascara is suitable, always thoroughly washed with soap. The brush should be with soft bristles, plastic hard brushes will not hold liquid on their villi. Also in the shops of cosmetics ready-made brushes are sold, which look the same as from the mascara, they are only sold without a tube that is customary for us and cost a penny. By purchasing this, you do not have to clean the brush from the remnants of cosmetics.
A simple cotton swab for ears or a well-washed cosmetic eye liner is also suitable for applying oil, provided it is made from natural lint. Important! If you use a cotton swab, remember that it is disposable and change it every time you use it. Hair can be spread and without the use of any available tools, index finger. The main thing before this is to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and dry with a paper towel.
How to apply?
The first thing to do before applying oil on the eyelashes - is to test for allergies. Apply the mixture to the skin area of the hand and wait for about 20-30 minutes. If within half an hour there is no redness, itching, irritation, then you can safely begin to care for the cilia.
Dip a wand or brush into the oily liquid and carefully squeeze it out; there should not be too much oil. Run the device from the middle of the eyelashes to the tips without touching the roots. Firstly, this is done so that the oily liquid does not get into the eyes, and secondly, the mixture itself will spread to the roots of the cilia.
Any oily liquid or a mixture of several oils, it is desirable to apply in the form of heat, so our eyelashes will get the maximum of useful substances. To do this, heat the mixture in a water bath with a temperature not higher than 35 degrees, otherwise the oil mixture can be spoiled. Then a warm mask is applied to the eyelashes for at least 60 minutes. However, it is not recommended to leave the mixture on the hairs for the whole night; this is fraught with eyelid edemas, which will be quite difficult to get rid of in the morning.But you should not wash your eyes after the mask, the best solution would be to soak the cilia with a dry cotton pad, removing the remaining oil.
It should also be noted that it is best to apply the mask in the evening, since After the morning procedure, the mascara does not fall on the oily hair. Well, the most important thing in this care - do not be lazy. Cilia will not grow if you make masks rarely and not the course. For maximum effect, you need to keep it every day for a month, then let the hair relax for 7-14 days. Do this in order not to cause addiction to the components of the oil.
