Lush lashes and brows

If you want longer lashes and thicker eyebrows, you will love this easy recipe! Just remember to apply it using a clean mascara brush and avoid getting it in your eyes.

As you can see, these recipes are super easy and aloe uses range far beyond soothing sunburns and insect bites. These plants are easy to grow and they are also known for purifying the air in your home. By removing various toxins from the air, you will enjoy fresher air while making the most of their beautiful appearance too. These plants do not tend to grow too quickly so you also don’t need to worry about repotting them too often. Especially if you plan on using the gel as part of your beauty routine.
