Eyelashes Food!

Just in case you do not know, your lashes have a short cycle of growth, which actually lasts for only about 30-45 days. Allergic reactions, toxins, thyroid problems, eye infections, sun radiation, constant rubbing of eyes, medical conditions as well as specific medications can also cause breakage of eyelashes, which makes it difficult to grow eyelashes. The growth rate of eye lashes has been predetermined by your genes, although some nutrients can actually boost eye lash growth

Vitamin C

This is a known antioxidant that can strengthen a person’s immune system and protect the lashes from toxins, infections as well as diseases that might affect the growth of hair. Vitamin C can also hydrate the lashes, accelerate the healing process, decrease inflammation of hair follicle, repair the damages of hair follicles, aid in production of collagen and lower the possibilities of breakage of eyelashes. Foods enriched with vitamin C include cauliflower, cranberries, broccoli, pineapple, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, and kale.

Vitamin B-3
