You can easily create your own nourishing DIY lash serum at home using a few simple, natural ingredients known for their beneficial properties. This homemade serum aims to condition and support healthy-looking lashes.
Essential Ingredients for Your DIY Lash Serum
To make your lash serum, you'll need the following components:
| Ingredient | Quantity/Description |
|---|---|
| Empty Mascara Tube with Wand | 1 (10 ml size) |
| Castor Oil | Enough to fill the tube |
| Lavender Essential Oil | 1-3 drops |
| Cedarwood Essential Oil | 1-3 drops (Optional) |
| Pure Vitamin E Oil | A few drops (Optional, for an extra boost) |
Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Your Lash Serum
Making your DIY lash serum is a straightforward process. Follow these steps:
- Gather Your Supplies: Ensure you have a clean, empty 10 ml mascara tube with its wand ready. Have your castor oil, lavender essential oil, and optionally cedarwood essential oil and pure vitamin E oil at hand.
- Add Essential Oils: Carefully drip 1 to 3 drops of lavender essential oil into the empty mascara tube. If you're choosing to include cedarwood essential oil, add 1 to 3 drops of it as well.
- Pour in Castor Oil: Slowly and steadily fill the rest of the mascara tube with castor oil. Be sure to leave a small amount of space at the top to prevent overflow when you reinsert the wand.
- Boost with Vitamin E (Optional): For added nourishment and antioxidant benefits, squeeze a few drops of pure vitamin E oil into the mixture in the tube.
- Mix Well: Insert the mascara wand back into the tube and securely close it. Gently swirl or shake the tube to ensure all the oils are thoroughly combined.
Tips for Application and Storage
- Application: Before bed, apply a thin layer of the serum directly to your clean, makeup-free lashes using the mascara wand, just like you would apply mascara. Avoid getting the serum directly into your eyes.
- Storage: Store your DIY lash serum in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency and extend its shelf life.
