Do you want to extend the life of your mascara?
The mascara is one of the most popular makeup products. This amazing beauty product has been used since the ancient Egyptian era. Originally, it looked like a pressed cake but now it is in a lotion formula in a resealable tube. It is applied using an applicator wand that comes with the tube.
Many women love the mascara because it instantly adds thickness, length, and a darker color to the eyelashes. Basically, the mascara coats the natural lashes with a pigment, deepening the color and making them appear more prominent. Wearing a mascara creates a definition in the eyes that draw attention. However, using mascara on a daily basis can cause some problems.
DISADVANTAGES OF WEARING MASCARA EVERY DAY
1. The average life-span of mascara is about 3 to 5 months. Some people continue using mascara longer than the recommended three-month period, ignoring the fact that mascara actually does expire. Doing this can result in infections like pink eye, staph infections, and inflammatory conditions.
2. Leaving mascara overnight can cause the eyelashes to become stiff. Eventually, this can lead to lash fall out and in worse cases, scratched corneas.
3. Waterproof mascara contains chemicals that can dry the eyelashes. Using waterproof mascara every day can cause eyelashes to dry, fall out and break.
4. Long-term use of mascara may actually result in eyelashes becoming brittle and falling out.
5. Improper removal of mascara can cause premature signs of aging. When you pull, tug, or rub your skin too hard, the blood vessels around the eyes can break and the sensitive skin around the eyes can look older.
The good news is that you can use lavender essential oil to lessen the negative effects of using mascara. Lavender essential oil is antimicrobial and antifungal. It also has moisturizing and healing properties that can benefit your eyelashes. It’s actually pretty easy to use lavender essential oil in your mascara.
DIRECTIONS
1. Open a new (or old) tube of mascara.
2. Add one drop of lavender essential oil to your tube and give it a gentle swirl.
That’s it! What can one drop of lavender essential oil do? This can actually extend the life of your mascara. Lavender essential oil can also prevent bacteria from thriving in the wand and in your lashes. Also, this oil can also promote lash growth. Furthermore, lavender essential oil can strengthen and give volume to your lashes.
