eyelash aftercare
A fresh, full set of eyelash extensions can change your life! You’ll probably find yourself addicted after your first set, so it’s never too early to learn how to look after them.
Why is aftercare important?
Like any good investment, eyelash extensions require maintenance. If you’re diligent about aftercare, it can:
- keep your eyelashes clean
- prevent eye infections
- keep them looking nice longer
- save you money, because you won’t need to maintain or replace them as often
Aftercare for Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash Extensions are a high maintenance beauty treatment. They require very gentle care in order for the lashes to last longer and stay in good condition.
- Be gentle. Do not rub or pull on your eyelash extensions.
- Keep your Eyelash Extensions dry for 4-6 hours after your appointment.
- You may wash your face in the sink using a washcloth, avoiding the eye area.
- Keep all oil based products away from the eyes and remember that everything on your face will travel to the eye area.
- Oil WILL breakdown the adhesive and you will have premature lash extension loss.
- Your hands can get dirty, and dirt is oily, so you’ll want to keep your fingers off your eyes unless cleansing.
- Lash tinting will need to be done 24-48 hours before your lash fill appointments.
- No perming the lashes!
- No saunas, facials, or swimming within 4-6 hours of application.
- Do not stick your head in the oven when baking! It can singe your extensions! Turn your head away from the oven when putting anything in or pulling anything out.
- Do not use Eyelash Curlers.
- You should be careful and take specific care with makeup and remover.
- Do not use cotton on your lash extensions.
- Wash your lashes daily (after the initial 4-6 hours). Apply oil-free makeup remover with your fingers, rubbing gently down the lashes.
- Or you may apply oil-free makeup remover to your lashes using a disposable mascara wand. Spray onto wand, brush through lashes gently, and rinse with warm water.
- Mascara should be washable and cannot be waterproof.
- We recommend The Lash Cleanser.
- We recommend The Lash Mascara as it is designed to be worn with eyelash extensions and can be removed easily.
- Apply mascara to the tips of the lashes only. No need to swipe from bottom to top.
- Do not attempt to remove any lashes on your own, call us for an appointment.
- Brush your lashes daily.
Eyelash extensions can make your eyelashes look longer and fuller. But to make them truly last, you’ll need to take care of them.
You can keep them in longer by brushing your extensions daily, cleaning them every 3 days, and avoiding things that could make them fall out sooner or damage your natural lashes — saving you both money and time.
