"Holy man, since I've been doing that, my lashes have been so full and luscious."

"I've been doing that for about 2 years. I've actually had to cut my lashes because they hit my safety glasses if I don't," they said.
Other beauty fans raved about the benefits of oils on their lashes.
"I use a mix of argan, jojoba, castor, grapeseed, and sweet almond oils for my lashes," said one commenter.
"Put a drop on a lash comb to apply before bed. Works amazing.

Lash experts at PharmEasy explained that castor oil, thanks to its dense fatty acid content, is great for nourishing and conditioning the lashes.
"It’s packed with fatty acids, such as ricinoleic, oleic, linoleic, and stearic acids," said Dr. Nikita Toshi.
"These can help condition and enrich eyelashes. They supply them with vital nutrients, and this may prevent dryness and brittleness."
Picking the right kind of castor oil is critical, however, as there are many different kinds available on the market.
Cold-pressed castor oil is prepared with very little heat, which keeps its natural nutrients intact.
Other great castor oil options include Jamaican Black castor oil, which has a higher pH level that is suitable for the hair and scalp.
Organic castor oil is another great pick, as it's free from fertilizers and pesticides and safer to use on skin and hair.
