Lash Extension Aftercare

Primary Aftercare:

​

Avoid getting lashes wet for the first 24-48 hours post service.

(sweating, swimming, showering, steaming etc.)

 

Do not use any oil-based products and/or waterproof mascaras or eyeliners.

*only use water-based eye/face products*

 

To nourish lashes, cleanse and groom regularly. 

 

Refrain from rubbing or tugging eyes/eyelash extensions.

 

If you cry, cleanse your eyelash extensions soon after.

(can cause your lash fans to close and/or lose curl)

 

Consciously try to sleep on your back.

(prevents premature shedding)

 

Never brush your eyelash extensions while they are wet.

*let air dry, or blow dry on a low cool setting in an upwards motion*

 

 Ongoing Care Tips:

Please keep the eye area clean, this is very important. Avoiding proper cleansing of the eye area and extensions can result in an eye infection whether wearing eyelash extensions or not.

​

Refrain from applying regular mascara over your lash extensions, as this puts you at risk of losing lashes sooner than normal due to the adhesive bond being compromised. Applying mascara will also clump the lashes together.

​

Brush your eyelash extensions with a mascara wand (provided by your eyelash professional) at least once a day in a down and out motion.

​

Avoid putting your face directly into the shower stream; the water pressure may result in damage to your lashes.

​

If you are unable to sleep on your back, wear a sleep mask with eye cavities to avoid pressing your lashes into your pillow.

​

Keep lashes away from direct heat such as ovens, smoking materials, or candles etc. The heat can affect the eyelash extensions adhesive bond, curl, and even singe them!

​

It is not advised to wear excessive makeup with lash extensions; the makeup itself as well as the more thorough cleansing needed will cause the adhesive to break down much more quickly.

​

The "golden rule" for wearing eyelash extensions is other than keeping them clean by cleansing, the less you touch them the longer they will last.

 

-It is normal to experience the loss of a few lashes during the first 24 to 48 hours prior to application as we typically shed between 1-5 natural lashes per eye a day. 

 

-If you feel the urge to put mascara on (due to a greater lash shed before your next fill appointment,) it’s advised to move the scheduled appointment to a closer date.
