This post won't be too long, as it is just a quick little nugget of information that you may find useful.
About 6 weeks ago I was doing a little research on how to make my eyelashes appear longer than they really are because, unluckily for me, my lashes are pretty full but not very long AT ALL. While I was finding tips for mascara application and for curling your lashes, I also found a suggestion that claimed to make your lashes grow longer and thicker. I didn't post about it immediately because I wanted to find out whether it really worked before I went about giving you the wrong information.
The suggestion is that you rub a small amount of Vaseline (petroleum jelly) on to your eyelashes just before you go to sleep at night. I took it one step further and used an old, but VERY CLEAN, mascara wand covered in Vaseline to apply it to my lashes like you would mascara. For the first two weeks I did this every night, and thereafter two or three times a week would suffice. Lo and behold, it really works! After a week I was already starting to notice a dramatic improvement in the flexibility and durability of my lashes and after 6 weeks they do appear to be longer, healthier and fuller than before.
It is important to only apply the Vaseline to clean eyelashes though! Obviously, it works so much better, and you won't wake up looking like a panda from all the blackened Vaseline that has rubbed off during the night and landed underneath your eyes.
All of us want beautifully long, thick eyelashes and while we're trying to achieve this, we actually do a lot of damage to our lashes that in turn prevents them from looking their absolute best. If you've ever looked at a guy's eyelashes and wished that yours could look like that too, there's a reason for that! Generally, men don't wear mascara or curl their eyelashes, which means they don't do anything to damage them, hence they are so much longer and thicker than ours. By applying Vaseline to your lashes, you are replacing some of the moisture that the mascara sucked out of your lashes during the day. In the same way that your hair looks its best when it is soft, supple and strong, so will your lashes!
I have definitely seen an improvement in my eyelashes and would highly recommend that you try this out too if your lashes need that little bit of help!
I really hope that this helps!
