Lash Care
Before and After Care - Lash Extensions
Before your appointment:
- Make sure your lashes are clean, dry and free of any make-up upon arrival of your appointment
- Remove contact lenses before your appointment
During the initial 24-28 hours after:
- Do not get your lashes wet for 24 hours after the lash extensions are applied, it will affect the efficiency of the glue
- Avoid getting moisture around the eye area when washing face, showering, etc.
General Guidelines to extend the life of your lashes:
- Avoid using oil-based skincare and make-up products around the eye, including mascara, eyeliner, and make-up remover
- Avoid water-proof mascara if you can. It is better to not use any mascara at all, you may find you don’t even need it!
- Avoid running water over your face. Moisture will break down the bond of the glue
- Avoid rubbing your eyes or lashes, especially when washing your face. It is recommended to clean around the eye are with a wash cloth or cotton swab (Q-tip)
- Avoid using an eyelash curler. One of the benefits of lash extensions is the ability to add curl to your lashes. If you would like more curl, please speak with your technician
- Gently brush your lashes with a clean mascara wand to groom them. The best time to do this is after showering, as they will be softer and less likely to damage.
- Avoid pulling your lashes, and do not attempt to remove them yourself. If you would like them removed, please contact your technician. If you experience any pain, redness, or irritation, please contact your technician immediately.
