Does Vaseline Grow Your Lashes?

Hi,

In our post all about Vaseline we already mentioned that Vaseline grows your lashes. But today I, Femke, want to go a bit more into this subject.

When I first heard Vaseline could grow your lashes I was trilled. My lashes are naturally black, so if I just could make them grow longer I wouldn't even have to wear mascara anymore! But before I bought some Vaseline, I did some research. Because it wouldn't be the first time people say something works when it actually doesn't. In many reviews I read that Vaseline really grows your lashes. But in other reviews I read that people were against Vaseline, because it consists petroleum, which is a chemical product. And chemical products are very bad for your body. That made me a bit scared, but I still really wanted to try it out.

A year ago I bought a little container of the classic Vaseline. And now, a year later I can share my thoughts about Vaseline with you. The little container is still half full, so Vaseline lasts a very long time. What I did is put some Vaseline on my fingers and rub it in my lashes. I daily did this every morning. This already made my lashes look a lot longer, so I used it instead of mascara.

But did it make my lashes grow any longer? Yes, in the first week I already saw some progress. And after two months my lashes were noticeable longer, thicker and healthier. But after that, I didn't notice many changes... It kind of stopped growing.

My conclusion is that when you have dry lashes and you use Vaseline, they will grow. But there will always be a limit. Just like hair, you can't grow it forever. And this is different for every person. With some people Vaseline will make there lashes grow a lot longer, but with other people not. So I suggest you try it out to see if it works out for you!

Alo I would like to say that Vaseline isn't that bad for you because it's chemical, otherwise my lashes would have fallen off, haha. ;) Maybe petroleum is not the usual beauty product, but it does moisturize your skin (and lashes) a lot!
