Make-up is not everything. Our eyebrows also need nutrients that will regenerate, strengthen and enhance growing. What should eyebrow products contain? Which nutrients are necessary?
It’s good to start by establishing what eyebrows actually are. Not many people are aware of their structure, function and needs.
What you don’t know yet about eyebrows:
These tiny hairs above our eyes create a roof that protects them from sweat, rain and other kind of moisture that drips into the eyes. Along the most important purpose, they also play an aesthetic role, in other words, beautify our face. They enable you to express emotions and help others to recognize us.
Eyebrows are structured in the same way as the hair on our head, but they are a bit shorter and bristlier (like eyelashes). Their thickness, colour and length depend on the condition of the bulbs, that’s why it’s so important to take proper care of them. Thanks to nutrients, they will regenerate, strengthen, thicken and darken, and the excessive hair loss will cease.
Nutrients necessary for our eyebrows:
In various brow conditioners as well as make-up cosmetics (pencils, waxes, gels) it’s worth looking for the right nutrients. Here are the most popular ingredients.
- Zinc – accelerates the production of keratin which is the structural building block of eyebrows.
- Silicon – gives gloss and elasticity.
- Vitamin E – has anti-aging and anti-oxidant properties.
- Biotin – prevents hair damage and strengthens them.
- Iron – is responsible for the energy needed to grow eyebrows.
- Vitamin A – protects the hair from damage.
Ideally, all these nutrients should be provided in the diet. But that would only be possible in a perfect world. It is impossible to cover the daily human intake of vitamins and minerals only in the form of food. You need supplements or eyebrow serums. The key is the right cosmetic that will help but not hurt.
The best eyebrow conditioner:
Here, undoubtedly, the composition is the most important. However, we can hardly find the information regarding specific vitamins and minerals, rather the ingredients in which they can hide. What should a good eyebrow conditioner contain? It can be several groups of ingredients.
- Natural oils – especially castor oil that supports hair growth, but also argan oil, coconut oil, cedar oil.
- Plant extracts – the most popular extracts are from Eyebright, aloe leaves, pumpkin seeds or nettles.
- Other ingredients – among others, moisturising hyaluronic acid, strengthening amino acids and peptides.
Obviously, it’s good to keep in mind that probably an eyebrow serum with all the above-mentioned ingredients doesn’t exist. Too many caring substances in one product is not recommended either. Sometimes one ingredient or a duet of nutrients is enough to provide everything your eyebrows need.
