Citrus is considered a staple anywhere from preventing against colds to creating the most refreshing vacation drink. But did you know it can actually make your lashes healthier too?
Citrus fruits are jam packed with Vitamin C which holds so many amazing benefits for protecting, repairing and growing your lashes. It protects from infections, accelerates healing and repair, strengthens hair, and reduces inflammation. Essentially, it’s got your eyelashes covered from all angles like it's a dedicated all-in-one dream team. Not only that, but citrus fruits also have a very high water content (oranges are almost 87% water!), making them an ideal food for staying hydrated - which of course, is really important for your lashes to stay healthy and moisturized - especially in the summer!
