Procedures
It is good to see the eyes shining, the eyelids healthy, and the eyelashes fluffy. Everything is in our hands, you only need to work hard. Should be understood - there will be no instant result. It takes time for the beneficial substances to accumulate and begin to “work”. After a week, you can already see the first changes for the better.
Comprehensive recovery consists in exposure to the bulbs, eyelids and eyelash rods. To strengthen the bulbs, you will have to not only nourish them with life-giving masks, but also not to forget about the complex of vitamins that will help them become healthy.
Serum and vegetable oils contribute to the improvement of adult eyelash rods. It is also necessary to engage in the healing of the eyelids - they are directly related to the problems of the bulbs.
Despite the superficial application of medical and home preparations, the compounds penetrate well into the interior of the eyelid and have an intradermal effect.
For recovery to be successful, it is important to conduct the preparatory phase correctly.
- All products that are applied to the eyes and eyelids must have room temperature. Preparations contained in the refrigerator should be obtained in advance. Decoctions and masks are heated in a water bath, if specified in the recipe. Freshly prepared infusions need time to cool. The contact of the remedy with the skin should be comfortable.
- For broths, you can collect herbs yourself. Each plant is harvested at a certain time in an ecologically clean place, outside the city, away from highways and industrial enterprises. You need to dry the grass in a draft in the shade, ultraviolet during drying changes the chemical properties of the plant. For the same reason, the collected raw materials are stored in a dark, dry place.
- If the preparation of masks requires the addition of liquid vitamins, you can purchase them at a pharmacy. It is better to buy drugs in capsules - ampoule types contain a high concentration of active substances and can be harmful instead of good.
- Eyes and eyelids are very sensitive to external influences of drugs and easily respond to allergic manifestations. To avoid the negative effects of treatment, the effect of each component is best checked in advance. It is necessary to apply a little active substance to the inner part of the wrist and after 5-10 minutes see if there is a reaction of the body. Redness, burning, itching on the skin will prompt the manifestation of allergies.
- For the manufacture of medicines (masks, decoctions, infusions) at home, you must use safe dishes. It can be made of clay, wood, ceramics, glass, and enameled surfaces are suitable. Aluminum containers and any vessels containing oxidizing metal should never be used.
Starting recovery procedures, you need to have an idea of the indications and contraindications of this process. Indications are loss, fragility and thinness of the eyelashes, a decrease in their volume, as well as some medical diagnoses - ophthalmomyiasis, demodecosis, blepharitis.
Contraindications include the sensitivity of the body to some components of medicinal compounds. They occur individually and not at all.
Basically, properly prepared home infusions and masks are harmless, and the benefits of them are tangible.
For best results, it’s best to discuss your eyelash restoration plan with your lashmaker. Expert advice will help to avoid mistakes that often occur during self-medication. When the healing scheme is indicated, the procedures should be approached only with clean hands and after complete removal of makeup.
