Best Aftercare Tips to Make Your Lashes Last Longer
Best Aftercare Tips to Make Your Lashes Last Longer
Keep Them Clean
One of the most crucial steps in lash extension aftercare is regular cleansing. We recommend using a gentle, oil-free lash cleanser and a soft brush to remove any makeup residue, oils, or debris. Clean lashes are happy lashes! This simple daily step not only extends the life of your extensions but also prevents potential irritation and keeps your natural lashes healthy.
Be Gentle
Your lash extensions are delicate, so it’s essential to treat them with care. Avoid rubbing, pulling, or tugging at your lashes. When drying your face, gently pat your eye area with a soft towel instead of rubbing. We also suggest sleeping on your back or side and using a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize friction and prevent any unnecessary stress on your lashes overnight.
Avoid Oil-Based Products
Oil is the enemy of lash adhesive. It’s essential to use oil-free products around your eye area, including makeup removers, cleansers, and eye creams. Oil-based products can break down the adhesive bond, causing your extensions to shed prematurely. We always advise checking the ingredients of your skincare and makeup products to ensure they are lash-friendly.
Schedule Regular Fills
Your natural lashes have a growth cycle, and your extensions will shed along with them. To maintain a complete, lush look, we recommend scheduling regular fills every 2-3 weeks. During a fill appointment, we’ll remove any grown-out extensions and apply new ones to the new lash growth, keeping your lashes looking seamless and beautiful.
