She posted a photo of her enviably long, full lashes on Reddit’s Skincare Addiction forum, which has nearly 2 million members.

LONG EYELASHES

The beauty fanatic shared that her hair growth product also works wonders for the skin under her eyes.

“I use Jamaican dark castor oil for my eyebrow and eyelash growth, and it also helps with my dark circles, for some reason,” she said, writing under the name Pinewine dick.

“Oh, and it also improves the texture of my skin.”

She shared a link to purchase Kuza Naturals Jamaican Black Castor Oil on Amazon after being bombarded with requests to know what brand she uses.

“I don’t really follow a routine, ideally I would wear it at night because then I can wear it all night,” she said.

“Sometimes I wear it during the day when I’m at home, but only on my eyebrows because your vision can get blurry if you put it on your lashes.”

She also shared a must-try method for applying the oil.

“I use a mascara brush from an old mascara bottle,” she said.

“As long as you wash it after every use, I’ve never gotten an infection from it.”

COSMETIC WALK

Hundreds of people gave positive reviews to the post, with many commenters saying they would love to try the hack out for themselves.

“Your lashes are beautiful!!!” someone said.

“What beautiful lashes!!!!!!!!” said another.

A third indicated that they had already tried the hack and achieved the desired results.

“I did this and it completely grew back my hair and eyebrows after my postpartum hair loss and it worked wonders!” they said.

“My eyebrows have never been this thick, lol.”

EXCELLENT OIL

Kuza Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Extra Dark, costs $9.99 and has a 4.4-star rating on Amazon.

According to the manufacturer, the oil is made from Jamaican castor beans that have been “roasted, ground and cooked.”

The black castor oil ‘rejuvenates’ the hair and at the same time protects it against hair breakage.

The brand recommends massaging a small amount of oil into the scalp to nourish the hair, but didn’t share any tips for applying it to eyebrows or lashes.

According to HealthlineEyelashes should be clean and free of makeup before using a cotton swab to apply castor oil.

In the morning, rinse it off with water or a make-up remover.

Castor oil is considered safe for eyelashes, but experts recommend testing it on a small spot first before using it on the entire lash area.
