Usma oil for eyelashes
From time immemorial, women have sought to preserve and increase their beauty. For this, hundreds of thousands of recipes were invented, passed down from generation to generation. Different countries had their own, at times, very unusual secrets. What is worth, for example, a cream based on nightingale droppings, widely used in Asian countries! And the use of rubbed bugs as lipstick, as did the English nobility?
Of course, not all recipes are so exotic. And one of them, which came to us from the mysterious East, is the use of the juice and oil of a plant known as usma, as a means of promoting the growth and strengthening of eyelashes and eyebrows.
What it is?
Usma (also known as arugula, dyeing woad) is a plant that grows in the forests of Africa and hot Asian countries. Usma juice has a bright green color, but in the air it becomes dark, almost coal-black.
For cosmetic purposes, it is used to color eyebrows and eyelashes, as well as to create a long-lasting smoky eye effect. However, the use of juice is associated with some difficulties: firstly, it can only be obtained from a freshly picked plant and, secondly, it cannot be stored for a long time, no more than two days in the refrigerator. Therefore, usma oil is an excellent alternative.
Benefit
In order to understand what is the usefulness of this oriental product, let's look at its composition:
- Linoleic acid - favorably affects the hair follicles and the skin around the eyes;
- Oleic acid - restores cells, helps them retain moisture, helps strengthen immunity;
- Alkaloids - promote active hair growth;
- Flavonoids - are natural antioxidants, and also have antibacterial properties;
- Stearic acid - creates a protective barrier on the skin, protecting it from exposure to harmful environmental factors;
- Vitamins - nourish the hair and help them maintain a healthy shine.
And now a video on how to use usma oil for eyelashes and eyebrows.
As a result of regular use:
- All hair follicles will “wake up”, hair growth will accelerate, their density will increase;
- Hair will stop breaking and falling out;
- The skin of the eyelids will freshen up, small wrinkles will disappear;
- The look will become deep and expressive.
Indications for the use of usma oil for eyebrows and eyelashes:
- Light and sparse by nature eyebrows and eyelashes;
- Hair loss due to a disease;
- Desire to have thicker eyebrows and eyelashes.
Contraindications
Usma oil can be used by absolutely everyone, although it is advisable to pre-test for allergies. To do this, put a couple of drops of oil on the wrist or behind the ear. If nothing happened two minutes after application (itching, redness, swelling of the skin did not appear), you can safely use it.
Application rules:
- Take a brush from used mascara, wash it well, apply a couple of drops of usma oil on it and spread it on the outer side of the eyelashes and on the eyebrows. By the way, a cotton swab is also suitable for these purposes;
- Within an hour, the product should be on the hairs, after which you can wash it off;
- For best results, leave the oil on overnight and wash your face with your regular cleanser in the morning;
- This miraculous oil can be used not only in its pure form, but also diluted with other useful cosmetic oils. Castor, burdock or coconut is perfect. Proportions for mixing - 1: 1;
- Another recipe that deserves attention: take a couple of tablespoons of dry sage or calendula herb and a glass of water, sweat them in a water bath, strain and cool. Then add 7 drops of usma oil and treat the eyebrows and cilia with the resulting composition. Wash your face after two hours;
- To obtain the desired effect, you need to smear eyebrows and eyelashes daily with pure or diluted usma oil for a month. After the effect is achieved, you can apply the oil 2-3 times a week.
I would like to clarify the following point: usma oil, unlike juice, does not stain hair, so if you want to not only enhance hair growth, but also give them a darker, more saturated color, use natural henna to color eyebrows, for example, brand Sexy Brow Henna. For eyelashes, you can also pick up professional henna-based paint.
Where could I buy
Ask at the pharmacies in your city. Of course, this oil is not as common as, for example, burdock or castor oil, in particular because of its high price (from 300 rubles per bottle, 30 ml), but some pharmacies buy it little by little. You can also look for it in specialized shops for oriental spices, fragrances and essential oils. And, of course, in online stores.
Reviews
So, what do the beautiful ladies say who had a chance to try usma oil in action? Everyone, as one, notes that after regular use of the oil of this miraculous plant, their eyebrows and eyelashes acquired a healthy, well-groomed appearance; “dormant” hair follicles came to life and, as a result, the number of hairs increased, they became thicker and stronger.
Some users mentioned another ability of this product - smoothing wrinkles around the eyes. Therefore, if you are wondering whether to buy this unusual rare oil, our answer is definitely worth it! After all, an expressive look is a very effective female weapon, and it would be wrong to ignore such a wonderful “auxiliary” tool.

It burns wildly, I don’t understand how they leave it for the night, I almost lost my eyes ...
Ekaterina, you didn’t get usma oil, that’s for sure. I ordered Dubai from Kazan and I use it, even if I put it in my eyes - it doesn’t burn.
Can there be a reaction to usma oil such that it is impossible to endure the tingling?
My eyes burned terribly, I could not stand it.
I use usma leaf oil, it does not burn the eyes. But usma seed oil, as far as I know, is forbidden to be applied to eyelashes and, moreover, in its pure form, it must be diluted with other oils and applied to the hair.
