Rosemary Oil Benefits for Eyelashes

Belonging to the mint family, this flavorful green possesses nutrients that make it rich in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties.

It’s crucial to understand rosemary oil’s hair growth benefits and how it helps our lashes so you can fully appreciate it! Best part: scientific research supports hair growth claims as well. Let’s walk you through the most common benefits.

Promotes Blood Circulation

Like peppermint oil, rosemary oil helps treat hair loss and encourages new growth by being a great blood circulator in the area of use. When you use it in eyelash line massage, blood flow gets supplied to the follicle, activating healthy cell turnover and preventing it from being starved of blood flow. Although rosemary oil is generally mild, avoid close contact with the eyes

Eyelash loss Prevention

In 2015, a study on people with alopecia demonstrated that the primary ingredient in Rogaine, minoxidil, was not more successful at treating hair loss than rosemary oil. These healing effects are probably due to carnosic acid, a plant compound discovered to repair nerve and tissue injury in another study.

Using rosemary oil significantly reduces lash loss and breakage caused by lash extensions and bleaching. Moreover, it might be vital in treating more complex cases of eyelash loss, such as alopecia and pattern baldness.

Ati-inflammatory

Do you have dandruff or dry eyelids? Mainly, blepharitis and seborrheic dermatitis are responsible for the spreading of dandruff on your eyelashes. The former is characterized by inflammation of the eyelid margin followed by grittiness, burning, and irritation. The latter is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder.

These terms may terrify you, but there is nothing to worry about when rosemary oil is available. Rosemary oil can calm the eyelids at the base of your eyelashes and aid with mild symptoms of dandruff. Because it has anti-fungal properties, relieves irritation, and strengthens hair follicles, rosemary oil is excellent for eyelashes.

Natural Hair Darkener to Reverse Premature Greying

Although its darkening impact is less pronounced than sage, rosemary is known to darken grays. Therefore, combining sage and rosemary is a fantastic method to get the best of both worlds for your lashes.

Get Rid of Split Ends

Using rosemary oil on your lashes will be extremely helpful if you have split ends. Over time, it strengthens and restores hair, removing harmful split ends.

Rosemary Oil Eyelash Growth Serum Recipe

The best way to recap rosemary oil’s lash growth benefits is to jack it up with castor oil. We already adore castor oil for all its terrific hair growth benefits, so combining the two is a surefire way to encourage growth for even the stubbornest follicles.

Our go-to rosemary eyelash growth serum recipe is simple to prepare at home and takes less than an hour. Look for organic or as naturally occurring products as you can. These tend to be more expensive or only available at specialty health food stores, but they’re worth the efficacy!

Ingredients:

•    ¼ cup castor oil
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
•  8-12 sprigs of fresh rosemary
•  Medium-sized pot
• Large metal mixing bowl (wide enough to sit atop your pot)

Directions

We’ll employ the double boil method to prevent ingredients from overcooking and reduce the benefits of rosemary oil’s lash growth!

1. Get a medium-sized pot and heat the water to a boil, about halfway full.
2. Prepare your rosemary by thoroughly washing and drying it while the water boils. If there’s water left on the sprigs, it’ll go into your oil and dilute it, so clean and pat dry.
3. Tear the rosemary leaves from the stick, and then add them to the medium metal bowl with the remaining ingredients.
4. Once the water in your saucepan boils, lower the heat to simmer.
5. Place your medium metal mixing bowl on top of the pot while ensuring the water doesn’t touch the bowl. If it does, carefully reduce the water.
6.  Continuously stir the ingredients for fifteen minutes. As time passes, the oil will become a bit cloudy.
7. Turn off your stove but leave the metal bowl on the pot.
8. After cooling, filter the oil into a container made of dark glass. Clear glass is also acceptable, but dark glass will preserve your oil longer.

How to Use Rosemary Oil for Eyelash Growth

Now that you have this incredible rosemary oil-infused lash growth remedy, you can use a cotton swab to apply the oil to your lashes. We don’t advice dipping your hands in the oil because they can contaminate your pure oil.

If you’re going to use a mascara wand, we advise scraping off extra serum from the mascara wand before use to prevent getting any oil into your eyes or getting too much oil on your eyelids.

To prevent eyelash loss, you can apply rosemary oil to your eyelashes roughly once to thrice a week. You can use it more frequently, but that’s not necessary because this oil is jam-packed with nutrients.

Be Cautious When Using Rosemary Oil

•  Applying too much rosemary oil to your eyelids might irritate the skin, so exercise caution.
•  Please do not apply without diluting it first with a carrier oil.
• If rosemary oil gets into your eyes, rinse immediately.
• Consult a doctor if the irritation persists
• Consult your doctor before using the oil if you are pregnant or nursing.
• If you are generally allergic to something or a particular drug, perform a patch test before using rosemary oil.
