How to care for your eyelash extensions

1. Avoid Oil-Based Products:

• Oils, such as those found in many cleansers, makeup removers, and moisturizers, can dissolve the adhesive bond holding the extensions to your natural lashes.

• This is the single most important factor in lash extension longevity.

• Look for products specifically formulated for use around the eyes that are clearly labeled “oil-free.”

• Consider using micellar water or gentle, water-based cleansers.

2. Gentle Cleansing:

• Daily cleansing is essential to remove dirt, oil, and makeup residue that can build up and weaken the adhesive.

• Use a gentle, foam-based lash cleanser and a soft brush specifically designed for lash extensions.

• Avoid harsh scrubbing or rubbing, which can dislodge extensions.

• Gently sweep the brush along the length of your lashes from base to tip.

3. Minimize Rubbing:

• Excessive rubbing of the eyes can loosen the adhesive bond and cause extensions to fall out prematurely.

• Be mindful of touching your eyes and avoid excessive rubbing, especially when tired.

4. Protect from Moisture:

• Prolonged exposure to water can weaken the adhesive bond.

• Minimize time spent in chlorinated pools, hot tubs, and saunas.

• If you must swim, consider wearing goggles to protect your lashes.

• Avoid excessive sweating, as sweat can also loosen the adhesive.

5. Sleeping Position:

• Sleeping face down can create friction, which can dislodge extensions. Try a silk or satin pillowcase.

• Try to sleep on your back or side to minimize pressure on your lashes.

• Some people find using a concave eye cover that has room for your lashes to breath overnight helpful.

6. Regular Fills:

• As your natural lashes shed, the attached extensions will fall out.

• Schedule regular fill appointments with your lash technician every 2-3 weeks to replace fallen extensions and maintain the fullness of your lashes.

• Consistent fills will ensure your lashes look their best for longer. Please make these in advanc

7. Avoid Heat:

• Saunas, hot showers, hot tubs, fires, hot stoves and ovens, steam, hot yoga etc....will affect the extensions.

• Pull back when reaching into the oven or stove, lighting anything you smoke, etc... to avoid singeing the tips!

• The adhesive responds to extreme heat chemically, by sort of melting, so please avoid extreme heat sources close to the lashes to preserve them longer.
