Homemade And Natural Eyelash Mascara

Mascara is one of the most popular
cosmetics in our daily lives, and it
could also be one of the most
expensive. It contains potentially
harmful ingredients that hang
around for decades in the
environment, according to a study
published in the journal
Environmental Science &
Technology Letters.
Today we bring you some tips on
how to make your own mascara
from home which is 100% natural.
Natural

Ingredients To Make Your
Homemade Charcoal Mascara
2 - 3 capsules of activated charcoal
(depending on desired amount
Distilled water
Virgin beeswax: a ball or 2
tablespoons of beeswax
Almond oil or coconut oil: 2
tablespoons of whichever you
prefer
Aloe vera: 2 tablespoons
1 container to place the homemade
mascara
1 eyelash brush like the one we find
in commercial mascara.
Method To Make Eyelash Mascara
With Aloe Vera
The first step is to grind the piece of
charcoal until there are no lumps.
Set aside.
Mix a large spoon of distilled water,
two of virgin wax and two of almond
or coconut oil) and cook them in a
water bath to achieve a smooth and
homogeneous mixture. It is
important not to boil the mixture, so
care must be taken to keep it at a
regular temperature of about 70 C
to 90 C.
When the mixture reaches the
desired hot temperature, remove it
from the heat.
Add two tablespoons of aloe vera
and two of the crushed charcoal to
the mixture.
Mix, wait for it to cool down, and put
it in a container for your homemade
mascara.
The natural ingredients will
undoubtedly benefit your lashes but
the lack of preservatives will affect
its shelf life, so it will not last as long
and can be damaged more easily.
For this reason we recommend
keeping it in the fridge to
prevent bacteria from building up
over time.
There are other ways to highlight
your eyelashes naturally.
If you are lucky enough to have long
eyelashes and you don't want to use
mascara to apply color, you can try
this easy option: use only a little
coconut oil, apply and comb with a
brush. Coconut helps with the
growth and strengthening of
eyelashes.
