Daily Lash Extensions Aftercare Steps (The Non Negotiables)

Cleaning your lash extensions should be part of your every day routine. Yes girl, you heard that right. EVERY DAY. Don’t get scared, you got this. The first step is:
 

  • Use a gentle lash foam shampoo and go in with a soft bristle brush in circular motion.

  • Rinse with cool water.

 

  •  Then pat dry with a soft towel.

  • Brush your lashes once they are dry. This keeps them fluffy and stops tangling and twisting.

 

  • Avoid sleeping on your face. I know… I’m a side sleeper so sometimes you just simply can’t control it. Just try to sleep on your back if you can.

Brushing our lashes is our new anxiety-regulation, instead of using the stress ball… brush the lashes!

What Products to Avoid for Long Lasting Extensions?

  • Avoid anything oil based. Oil is like the narcissistic ex we want to keep away at all costs.

 

  • You should skip heavy creams around the eyes, do your skincare as regular just avoiding the lash lines.

 

  • Do not use waterproof mascara. Honestly all types of mascara are no no’s
     It clings to the lashes and is hard to remove. And to be honest you won’t need it.

 

  • Avoid harsh makeup removers on the eyes, if you did a full glam, just try to remove the eyeshadow as gently as possible with a q-tip and the rest leave it for the lash foam soap with your brush

Troubleshooting: What to Do If Your Lashes Feel Itchy?

If your lash line feels itchy, first stay calm. Sometimes the lash line just needs a gentle cleanse.
Most irritation comes from buildup. So step one is cleansing

Wash your lashes properly. This often fixes the irritation fast.

If it’s your first time with lash extensions, this is totally normal.
A little irritation the day of application (and even for a couple days after) is common. Your eyes are just experiencing something new and adjusting.

  • If you are experiencing swelling, excessive irritation, or strong itchiness, it could be an allergy to the adhesive. In this case, the only solution is to remove the lashes immediately. Please never try to remove them yourself, you must contact us ASAP to remove them professionally. *
