Dense and long eyelashes make your eyes appear wide and appealing but not all are blessed with healthy and full lashes. Although there are many mascara and other products that claim to give you desired results I wouldn’t suggest you use them because they can be harmful for your delicate eyes due to chemicals. Besides, I have not found any eyelash growth product until this day that works! There are some natural ingredients that actually work when used religiously. Below is a recipe for DIY eyelash growth serum along with its benefits:
BENEFITS:
Castor oil conditions the lashes and make them soft and shiny. It also helps to treat dryness and dandruff/skin flakiness due to microscopic ticks or mites that live there. Castor oil has hair growth promoting properties that makes lashes longer and dense. Castor oil strengthens hair follicles/lash follicles and prevents lash falls especially if you use a lot of eye makeup or waterproof mascaras.
Vitamin E oil has a lot of hair benefits- it strengthens eye lashes, promotes their growth, and makes them soft and less prone to breakage.
Aloe vera has similar benefits like that of vitamin E oil- It keeps lashes soft and smooth, makes a great base for the eyelash growth serum and it also acts as a preservative that increases the shelf-life of the serum.
The eyelash growth serum conditions the lashes, reduces their shedding and promotes hair growth so you have a dense growth and fuller looking lashes over time.

Things you need:
- 1 tablespoon of pure aloe vera gel (I would suggest you use a commercially available pure aloe vera gel as it contains traces of preservatives that will make your product last longer),
- 3 tablespoons if organic castor oil
- 2 teaspoons of pure vitamin E or organic almond oil.
Method:
Firstly, grab a bowl and add in 1-2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel. Now, add in 3 tablespoons of castor oil followed by 2 teaspoons of vitamin E oil.
Mix everything well making sure that there are no aloe vera gel lumps. Pour the mixture in an old clean mascara tube if you have or store it in a jar that has lid.
Fill a small container or an old, clean mascara container.
Use a clean mascara brush (you can also get q-tips, mascara wands or eyebrow brushes that you get separately) to gently wipe the serum on the lashes before going to bed to condition the lashes that will make them grow longer and stronger. Natural Remedies to Grow Longer Eyelashes and Fuller Eyebrow
