How to Make Homemade Eyelash Growth Serum

Let’s talk about something no one really warned me about: losing my eyelashes during menopause. It didn’t happen overnight, but one day I looked in the mirror and realized my once-full lashes were barely there. I had always taken pride in my naturally long lashes, so seeing them thin out was just one more frustrating symptom of this season of life.

Slowly but surely, I began to see my lashes grow back—and with them, a bit of confidence, too.
