To maximize the lifespan of your lash extensions please make sure to wash your lashes at least once a day to remove any natural oils and makeup buildup from your extensions. During allergy season it is recommended to wash the lashes twice a day for those with allergies. Cleansing the lashes twice a day can help with stinging, irritation, and eye sensitivity.
Using a specialized lash cleanser designed specifically for eyelash extensions, such as a foaming lash cleanser or gel, lather your lashes in the cleanser and use a stippling brush to clean your lashes using small circular motions. Don’t be afraid to really get in between your lashes!
Rinse your lashes, then dry them using a fan or let them air dry. Brush through them thoroughly once dry to fluff them back out.
Gently brush through your lashes daily with a lash brush to remove any dirt, dust or debris.
Avoid rubbing or pulling on your lashes as this may cause them to fall out prematurely or damage your natural eyelashes. If you experience any itching/dryness on the waterline do not be afraid to get in there with a spoolie! :)
Use a non-abrasive, oil-free cleanser to clean your lashes regularly. Avoid using oil-based cleansers or moisturizers around the eye area.
Visit your lash technician for regular touch-ups to maintain the look of your extensions. Fill-ins allow for twisting, outgrown lashes to be removed and replaced with fresh extensions.
Avoid using mascara or other cosmetics on your extensions. Avoid using eyelash curlers on the extensions.
Use a gentle, oil free eye makeup remover to remove eye makeup. Be gentle when removing any eye makeup.
Avoid sleeping on your face and use a silk pillowcase to avoid friction on the eyelash extensions.
Avoid exposure to high temperatures, like steam rooms and saunas, as this can weaken the adhesive bond.
Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools, as this can also weaken the adhesive.
