How to use castor oil

For brush casting, the brush from the carcass is the best. Before use, this brush should be thoroughly rinsed, so that it does not have the remains of an old carcass. Of course, castor oil can be bought in a flacon with a special brush, which is designed for this procedure. After dipping the brush into the bottle, you need to hold it several times along the entire length of the eyelashes - just like during the application of the carcass. Applying 2-3 layers, you need to gently wipe the eye with a tissue or cotton pad to remove excess. It is best to do this procedure in the evening, before going to bed, and in the morning, thoroughly rinse the eyes with water or remove the remnants of castor oil with the help of some good means for removing makeup. Castor oil is best used several times a week, while it can be applied to the skin of the eyelids along the line of eyelash growth. The first results with the systematic application of this product can be seen in a couple of weeks - the eyelashes will become much longer and thicker. And in a month it will no longer be necessary to paint them with mascara, since they will be very long and beautiful. After the castor oil has been applied to the eyelashes, do not stress them: you can not go out into the street under the scorching sun or the wind, you do not need to smoke, pouring them harmful nicotine, you do not need to cook food in the kitchen. If these rules are not observed, the effect of using castor oil can be completely lost. It is possible that neutral and negative reviews of castor oil, which was used to grow and strengthen hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, are due to these factors.
