Every woman knows about the effective use of burdock oil as a hair care product. However, the use of this product as a care for eyelashes and eyebrows is less popular. You will learn about how to use burdock oil in order to make eyelashes longer and thicker eyebrows from this article.
Burdock oil can be successfully used to strengthen eyelashes and eyebrows, as our grandmothers used this method as well. If this oil is gently smeared on the eye area, then this helps to remove eyelash extensions.
What is useful?
Burdock oil is a rich source of vitamin A, B and E. And a significant content of vegetable protein, which promotes hair rejuvenation, is also noted.
The unique composition of this cosmetic product allows you to smooth the scales of hairs on the eyebrows and eyelashes, strengthen them and activate the growth of "sleeping" hair follicles, which allows you to grow long eyelashes and thick eyebrows. Due to the fact that all kinds of decorative cosmetics are regularly applied to them, care procedures are urgently needed for them. With regular use of burdock oil, you can significantly reduce the cost of eyelash extensions.
Proper use favors the fact that eyelashes become thicker and longer.
However, it is worth noting immediately that burdock oil is definitely not the product that allows you to grow eyelashes in one night. The action of natural components requires a longer period. But the effect left after the procedures remains for a long time.For those who suffer from dandruff in the eyebrow area, using burdock oil will be a real salvation. Being in the composition of inulin is famous for having an excellent sorbing property. In other words, when applied to the hair, it favors the elimination of toxic substances that appear after the use of decorative cosmetics or as a reaction to a polluted environment.
Possible harm
Using burdock oil for cilia and eyebrows is absolutely safe. The only contraindication is individual intolerance to the components of this cosmetic product. Almost every product intended for hair, skin of the face or body gives a recommendation on passing an easy test about the presence of an allergic reaction. The manufacturer indicates this on the packaging of any cosmetic product. However, many ignore this procedure, preferring to immediately start applying the product. The use of any product on the area around the eyes always causes an increased risk of inflammation, especially for those people who are prone to the appearance of various allergic reactions from the body.
Passing an allergic test to care for eyelashes and eyebrows with burdock oil is a prerequisite. In this case, the wrist, which has the same delicate and sensitive skin as the area around the eyes, will help us. Drop a small amount of burdock oil on your wrist and leave it on your skin for sixty minutes. If during this period of time you noted the occurrence of red spots, pimples or blisters - you should refuse to use this cosmetic product. There are two explanations for this situation. You have individual intolerance to the main component of the product - burdock oil, you may have to find another tool for the care of eyelashes and eyebrows. For example, castor oil is used for this purpose. Or before you is an expired product or a completely substandard product made by an unscrupulous and dishonorable manufacturer. This sometimes happens, in connection with which it is recommended to purchase this product in a pharmacy or large cosmetic stores.
And also there were cases when during an allergic test on the wrist no inflammation was noticed. But when applying burdock oil to the area of cilia and eyebrows, the eyes began to itch and blush strongly. This indicates that your body reacts negatively to this product. In this case, its use should be abandoned altogether, or find an alternative.
To remove burdock oil, use plain cool water or a cotton pad soaked in micellar water. After washing, gently pat the area around the eyes with a dry towel to remove excess moisture. After a few minutes, the inflammation should decrease, and after an hour pass completely.
But it is also worthwhile to wait a while with the procedures for the care of eyelashes and eyebrows, involving the use of burdock oil, if you have serious skin diseases. These include various skin infections, dermatitis and serious rashes, such as acne. Skin contact with this cosmetic product may cause an unpredictable reaction from inflamed skin sites.
Application rules
As noted earlier, the first thing you should do when using burdock oil is to pass an allergic reaction test. It is worth mentioning that it is recommended to carry out this test when purchasing each new tank, even if the product was purchased in the same brand. It is impossible to exclude the possibility of allergies. If no contraindications for use have been noted, you can safely proceed to the procedure for the care of cilia and eyebrows.
The best use of this cosmetic product is its combination with aloe extract. By adding this component, your skin will be protected from possible inflammation. In addition, aloe is one of the best antiseptic agents. In order for the burdock oil to show its beneficial properties to the maximum, it is advisable to warm it up with a water bath.
The temperature of the product should not exceed thirty-eight - forty degrees. Otherwise, skin burns may be caused.
When applying burdock oil to the hairs located on the face, several recommendations should be observed. Thanks to them, you will not only carry out the procedure correctly by nourishing the hairs with the necessary vitamins, but also protect the area around the eyes from unwanted inflammation.
Rules that must be followed without fail.
- Before applying burdock oil, makeup should be thoroughly removed from the face. To do this, wipe your face with a cotton pad dipped in micellar water or in your favorite product. Then wash with a gel or a gentle foam for washing. Then pat your face with a dry towel to make your face dry.
- Duration of care using burdock oil should not exceed sixty minutes. The minimum procedure time is twenty minutes. Otherwise, there is a possibility of inflammation of the skin.
- The period of use of this cosmetic product depends on the initial condition of your cilia and eyebrows. As a preventative measure, it is sufficient to use burdock oil two to three times in seven days. With intensive care, you must do this procedure every day with an interval of two to three weeks to rest.
- It is mandatory to refuse this procedure if a greasy film occurs, which is called seborrhea.
To make the application of burdock oil more comfortable, use the old carcass packaging. To do this, thoroughly rinse the inner surface of the tube and pour the necessary amount of burdock oil with a medical syringe. Using a brush, which is included with any mascara, applying the product will become extremely convenient.
- If burdock oil gets into your eyes, it can cause a severe allergic reaction or even a burn. Therefore, be extremely careful. Do not let the burdock oil drip from the eyebrows and do not apply an excessively large amount of the product on the eyelashes. If oil gets on the eyeball, immediately rinse your eyes several times with cool water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
- Removing burdock oil from the surface of the hairs with water is a waste of time. Since when applying the product on the hairs, a protective shell in the form of a greasy film is formed. In order to rinse off this cosmetic product, use a cotton pad. The remains of burdock oil can be washed off perfectly with the help of pre-warmed milk. Dip a cotton pad in milk and again go to the previously oil-treated areas.
- Statement: the more, the better - in the case of burdock oil does not work. Even a small amount of the applied product will be enough to nourish the hair with the necessary vitamins and make it thicker and softer. Therefore, do not get carried away with this procedure, and do not allow the product to spread.
To care for the eyebrow area, it is advisable to apply the product exclusively along their contour. The movements should be light and perform a gentle massage to activate hair growth. Since burdock oil is an extremely effective tool that can activate even “sleeping” hair follicles, do not apply the product to places where you do not want to see hairs.
In order to strengthen the hairs on the cilia, do not try to apply oil to the basal area.The product is applied exclusively to the tip of the eyelash. And in no case do not apply burdock oil at night. Eyelashes from this will not begin to grow faster. So you only cause swelling in the area around the eyes.
Reviews
According to reviews, most women resort to burdock oil to care for cilia after unsuccessful extensions. It is worth recalling that eyelash extension involves gluing one or more artificial eyelashes to the base of the client's eyelashes. Over time, artificial eyelashes begin to fall away. A poorly performed procedure is often the reason that, in addition to artificial ones, natural eyelashes also fall out. The use of burdock oil has helped many women accelerate the growth of their own eyelashes and strengthen those that have weakened during the period of wearing an artificial analogue. As a rule, cosmetologists, who are wide-profile specialists and have knowledge about face and hair skin care, recommend burdock oil as an excellent cosmetic product for the care of eyelashes and eyebrows.
As for the latter, the main problems lie in the inactive growth of hairs or excessively sticking out hard hairs. Regular use of burdock oil for two weeks will help get rid of both problems. Based on numerous reviews, the hairs on the eyebrows become shiny, smooth and obedient. And thanks to the valuable properties of burdock, the growth of new, previously sleeping hairs is activated. Which makes it possible to grow wider and thicker eyebrows.
