1/2 teaspoon Vaseline (preferably petroleum jelly without added fragrance)
1/2 teaspoon cold-pressed castor oil
Optional: 1 drop vitamin E oil for added nourishment
Instructions:
First, mix the ingredients together in a small, clean container until they form a smooth, creamy texture.
Then, prepare your lashes and brows by gently removing any makeup or oil. Wash and dry your face thoroughly.
Next, dip a clean mascara wand or cotton swab into the mixture. Tap off any excess to avoid dripping into your eyes.
Apply the serum carefully to your upper and lower lash lines, just as you would apply eyeliner. Repeat over sparse brow areas.
Leave it on overnight, allowing the ingredients to soak in while you sleep.
In the morning, rinse off with warm water and a gentle cleanser. Pat dry and repeat daily for 7–10 days.
Tips for Best Results:
Always use clean applicators to prevent eye irritation.
Store the serum in an airtight container and use within 2 weeks.
Be patient—results vary, but most people notice a visible difference within one week.
Avoid double-dipping the applicator into the mixture to keep it bacteria-free.
Cautions and Precautions
Although both Vaseline and castor oil are generally safe, some individuals may experience eye irritation or clogged pores if applied too close to the lash line. Always apply a small amount and avoid getting it into your eyes.
If you have sensitive skin, test the serum on the inside of your wrist before using it around your eyes. Wait 24 hours to check for redness, itching, or any allergic reaction.
Those with pre-existing eye conditions or who wear contact lenses should consult an eye care provider before beginning daily use. Discontinue immediately if any discomfort occurs.
