Eyebrow Castor Oil: Application and Effect

Beautiful well-groomed eyebrows that look as natural as possible - this is a real face decoration. It is not surprising that such eyebrows are the most fashionable for several seasons. Many are interested in the question of what to do to those who can not boast of perfect eyebrows. You can grow, for example, with the help of castor oil.

Castor oil, popularly castor oil, is obtained from a plant called castor oil. Africa is considered the birthplace of the plant, but today it has become widespread almost all over the world. In our latitudes, castor oil is often grown on household plots as an ornamental plant. Cold-pressed grains rich in oils are converted into castor oil. However, in this form, they are overly concentrated, so using the product is dangerous. In this regard, the oil is first subjected to a specific heat treatment, and only then falls on the shelves of pharmacies.

For growing eyebrows it is more convenient to use the product in the bubbles, which can have a different volume - from 30 to 100 ml. The label should be an indication of the possibility of external use of castorca. There is an option for technical use. The composition of this oil contains solvents, pigments, therefore, it is forbidden to apply it to the skin.

The basis of the composition (about 50%) of castor oil is ricinoleic acid. In addition, palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic acids are present here. They are successfully combined with vitamins A and E.

With the help of castor oil you can grow thick and long eyebrows, due to its beneficial effect on the hair follicles - the tool nourishes and moisturizes them. As a result, dormant bulbs begin to function, and weakened ones become stronger. The hairs begin to grow more actively, they become strong. Castor oil also moisturizes the skin, which is very important for the area around the eyes, because the skin here is thin and easily damaged. Castor oil promotes skin regeneration and moisturizes it, which is largely due to the presence of oleic acid.

The basis of castorca, as already mentioned, is ricinoleic acid. It literally envelops every hair, making it soft and shiny. Due to this, it is possible to "shorten" hard naughty eyebrows, to give them the desired shape. With regular application and at the same time modeling of hairs, it is possible to shape the edges in the desired shape, smooth out the creases on the hairs, which often occur when plucking with tweezers.

Returning to the enveloping ability of ricinoleic acid, it is worth noting that it also helps protect hairs from the negative impact of the environment, in particular, from burning out in the sun. Stearic acid also provides protection against high and low temperatures. It is also responsible for the optimal level of moisture in the skin, helps to fight dryness and flaking of the skin in the eyebrows. The effectiveness of the oil is due to the presence of palmitic acid in the composition.It allows skin cells and hair follicles to more actively absorb nutrients, that is, is a kind of conductor. This, by the way, allows the use of castor oil in other masks and healing mixtures for eyebrows. Palmitic acid in its composition will provide better absorption of the nutrients of other ingredients.

To improve metabolic processes in cells and follicles allows oleic acid. Along with ricinoleic acid, it accelerates hair growth, allows you to get thick eyebrows. Speaking of ricinoleic acid, it is also worth noting its antibacterial effect. The presence of vitamins A and E allows you to talk about the antioxidant effect of oil. In addition, it helps to slow down the aging process of skin cells, stimulates the production of collagen. As a result, the skin in the eyebrow area becomes taut, elastic.

The tool can be used to achieve the desired thickness of the eyebrows, reducing the space between the hairs. This is achieved by waking the follicle, that is, a hair begins to grow in an “empty” place. In addition, the hairs become more voluminous, so the eyebrows look thicker. It is important to understand that the indicated properties of castorca appear only if the eyebrows are present, if the hair follicles are not damaged. If the eyebrows do not grow for genetic reasons, due to the absence or significant damage to the hair follicles, then the use of castor oil is useless.

Help in the care of eyebrows can only fresh means. The shelf life of the oil should not exceed 2 years from the date of production, otherwise it will not benefit, but only clog pores. In addition, an expired product can cause edema, allergies. It is not recommended to use the tool for pregnant and lactating women. Do not apply the tool immediately after plucking eyebrows, because at this time, the pores on the skin are enlarged and the oil trapped in them, will become a kind of "plug". As a result, inflammation may develop.

For the same reason, you should not apply the tool in the presence of open wounds, scratches or other skin damage. The oil forms a film under which there will be a favorable environment for the development of bacteria. Castor should be applied carefully, avoiding contact with eyes. Otherwise, do not avoid unpleasant sensations, a temporary deterioration in the ability to see, tearing. If oil gets into your eyes, rinse them with clean water. An unpleasant feeling will not pass immediately, but it does not bear much danger to the health of the eyes.

First of all, it is necessary to ensure that there are no allergic reactions to castor oil. Their appearance is not uncommon, despite the natural composition of the product. This is due to the fact that the skin in this area is very thin and delicate.

To obtain positive results, the tool should be applied on an ongoing basis, systematically. Then the first positive changes will be noticeable in 2–2.5 months. A lasting effect will be evident after about 5–6 months of regular oil application. Before applying the eyebrows and the skin around them should be thoroughly cleaned, rinse makeup, dirt and remove excess sebum. After that, with a clean eyebrow brush or mascara brush, castor oil should be spread over the eyebrows. Do not be afraid if the product has hit the skin over the brow area, here it will also be useful.

It is convenient to apply castor oil overnight to give it maximum time to soak. However, do not leave the applied agent on the eyebrows all night.This is fraught with edema in the morning, in addition, the tool can get into the eyes, stain bed linen. It is best to apply the oil with a brush, and after an hour gently blot your eyebrows with a cotton pad, collecting excess oil. No need to rub your eyebrows or try to completely remove the tool. The next morning you should again hold the eyebrows with a dry cotton pad, and then take a clean disc and, wetting it in water or herbal broth, finally remove the oil from the eyebrows. Do not apply oil with a thick layer, otherwise it will be quite difficult to get rid of it.

Before applying the oil should be slightly heated. This can be done by placing a vial on the battery, holding it in warm water or heating it in a water bath. Be careful - the oil heats up very quickly. Before use, drop the product on the wrist, if the temperature is pleasant, the composition can be applied to the eyebrows. If the castor oil is too hot, leave it to stand for a while to cool.

After wetting the brush with a small amount of oil, you should hold it first against the hairline, and then along it. It is better to carry out the procedure, making makeup and taking a shower. After the shower, the skin will be slightly steamed, so it is better to absorb the nutritional elements of castorca. You can pre-lightly massage the eyebrow area with the index fingers, moving from the nose to the temples. This will improve blood circulation and will contribute to a better penetration of useful components of the composition.

Once a week, cleansing of the eyebrows (even where hair grows) is recommended using light scrubs. This will exfoliate dead skin cells of the epidermis, which will provide better penetration of castorca into the skin.

The tool is able to remove the pigment from an unsuccessful tattoo. This should be remembered when applying oils for tattoo and colored eyebrows. For the period of treatment, it is better to refuse such procedures, since the effect will be short-lived. However, thanks to this ability of its oil can also be used to get rid of the unsuccessful tattoo, too dark or bright results of staining. It will heal the skin, remove the pigment and stimulate the hair follicles.

At the same time ease of use of oil, its availability and profitability of use is noted. With regular use, the hairs become softer and more obedient, modeling the eyebrows is easier and does not take much time. The main thing - it does not forget to put a mask on a daily basis.

Most women point out that you do not need to tune in to a quick result. The visible effect will be only in 3-4 months, but it will continue for a long time. Even after refusing the procedure, the hairs retain their strength and well-groomed appearance. Having grown the edge of the desired shape, many ladies resort to applying oil 2-3 times a week to maintain the effect. Much can be said about the positive effects of hair oil, but the photo of eyebrows before and after the course of oil masks is much more convincing.
