When applying oil of burdock on the hairs located on the face, you should follow a few recommendations. Thanks to them, you will not only carry out the procedure correctly, having filled the hairs with essential vitamins, but also save the area around the eyes from unwanted inflammation.
Rules that must be observed without fail.
- Before applying burdock oil makeup should be carefully 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 gel or gentle facial wash. Then pat your face dry with a dry towel to make your face dry.
- The duration of care with the use of burdock oil should not exceed sixty minutes. The minimum procedure time is twenty minutes. Otherwise, there is the likelihood of inflammation of the skin.
- The period of use of this cosmetic product depends on the initial state of your cilia and eyebrows. As a prevention, it is enough to use burdock oil two or three times in seven days. With intensive care, it is necessary to do this procedure every day with an interval of two to three weeks to rest.
- It is mandatory to abandon this procedure in case of a greasy film, which is called seborrhea.
In order to make the application of burdock oil more comfortable, use the old packaging from ink. To do this, thoroughly rinse the inner surface of the tube and, using a medical syringe, pour in the required amount of burdock oil. With the help of a brush, which is included in the set of any ink, application of the tool will be extremely convenient.
- Contact with burdock oil on the eyes can trigger a severe allergic reaction or even a burn. So be extremely careful. Do not allow runoff of burdock oil from the eyebrows and do not apply an excessively large amount of product on the eyelashes. In case of contact with the eyeball, immediately rinse the eyes several times with cool water. If necessary, consult a doctor.
- Removing burdock oil from the hair surface with water is a waste of time. Since when applying the product on the hairs, a protective membrane is formed in the form of a greasy film. To wash off this cosmetic, use a wadded disk. The remains of burdock oil can be perfectly washed off with the help of pre-heated milk. Dip a cotton pad in the milk and re-walk through the previously oil-treated places.
- The statement: the more, the better - in the case of burdock oil does not work. Even a small amount of application will be enough to nourish the hairs with essential vitamins and make them thicker and softer. Therefore, do not be carried away by 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 carry out a light massage to activate hair growth. Since burdock oil is an extremely effective tool that can activate even "dormant" hair bulbs, do not put the product on the 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 root area. The tool is applied exclusively on the tip of the eyelashes. And in any case, do not apply burdock oil at night. Eyelashes from this will not start to grow faster. So you only cause puffiness in the area around the eyes.
