I used to overpluck my eyebrows so much I didn’t have any – I’ve been using a DIY oil and they’re growing rapidly
IF you weren’t born with naturally full eyebrows or spent your teens over plucking them, you’ve probably give anything to get them to grow.
One beauty whizz has proved you don’t have to spend a lot to look good though, with a DIY eyelash and brow serum that has wowed fans.
For anyone that doesn’t already follow @yourgingermatekate, prepare to meet your new favourite beauty influencer.
While most content creators are trying to sell you latest beauty products, this TikTok star has gained a huge 383,000 fans with her all natural skincare.
From homemade hand cream to tinted moisturisers, Kate has a recipe for virtually every beauty buy and treatment you’ll ever need.
Having impressed thousands of people with her skincare hacks, the influencer decided to make some DIY haircare.
In her latest viral video, she told fans that her homemade eye lash and eyebrow serum would ‘give big name brands a run for their money’.
You won’t even have to spend a small fortune on essential oils, as most of the items that she used are widely available at your local chemist or even on Amazon.
Though Kate also used a brand new mascara tube for this hack, she suggested that you could recycle an empty one – to save even more money.
Just be sure to wash it out before filling it with your brow and eyelash serum.
To begin, she added a single drop of rosemary oil – which has been said to help improve hair growth by stimulating blood circulation.
The essential oil is also thought to contain antioxidants which help prevent damage to the hair follicles and help keep your skin healthy.
She then mixed in a drop of lavender oil, which has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Finally, the wellness expert filled the rest of the bottle with castor oil and explained to fans why she used so much in her homemade serum.
“If you look on most store bought eye serum and eye brow serum, you will see that castor oil is the active ingredient in most of them,” she told her followers, adding that her serum was similar – but had no harsh chemicals.
Showing off her incredible lashes on TikTok, the beauty whizz shared that she will regularly brush the serum through her brows and eyelashes to help them grow.
If you weren’t already tempted to test this out for yourself, many of Kate’s fans revealed that they used a similar treatment to boost their brows and lashes.
“I’ve had no brows for years from over plucking back in the day. Religiously been using caster oil for 2 weeks after seeing you & can finally say I can see brows going to try this,” gushed one fan.
Another added: “Castor oil is working wonders for my hair and skin. My lashes are also so long now and brows are growing back.”
They then joked: “Also other facial hair but got to take the pros with the cons.”
With lavender essential oil starting from as little as £2.97 on Amazon, it’s hard not to be tempted to try this beauty secret.
You can also can find a 60ml bottle of castor oil for £6.99 and a 150ml bottle of rosemary oil for £7.70 on the site, meaning this is one beauty hack worth trying.
