✨ Aftercare for Eyelash Extensions
Following the correct aftercare routine ensures that your lash extensions remain beautiful, full, and long-lasting. Neglecting aftercare may cause premature lash loss and reduce the retention time.
🚫 What to Avoid?
❌ No exposure to high temperatures, steam, or humidity (saunas, hot showers, or tanning beds).
❌ Do not use oil-based makeup or removers – oil breaks down the lash adhesive and causes extensions to fall out faster.
❌ No mascara on extensions – it clumps the lashes and weakens the glue.
❌ Avoid using an eyelash curler – this can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes.
✅ How to Care for Your Lashes?
✔ Clean your lashes daily with an oil-free foaming lash cleanser and a soft brush to remove dirt and oils.
✔ Gently brush your lashes with a clean mascara wand to keep them neat and tangle-free.
✔ Sleep on your back or use a silk pillowcase to prevent unnecessary friction.
✔ Avoid applying eye creams and serums near the lash line, as they may weaken the adhesive bond.
📅 When to Book a Refill?
🔹 Fills are recommended every 2-3 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle.
🔹 After 4 weeks, a new full set will be required.
✨ Aftercare for Lash Lift
A lash lift enhances the natural curl of your lashes for 6-8 weeks, but proper aftercare is crucial for maintaining the best results.
🚫 What to Avoid?
❌ No water, steam, or moisture for the first 24 hours – this includes saunas, showers, and sweat.
❌ Avoid eye makeup and mascara for 24 hours – let the lift fully set.
❌ No waterproof mascara – it can weaken the lift and make lashes brittle.
❌ Do not rub, tug, or use an eyelash curler – this may damage your lashes.
❌ Avoid chemical peels or facial treatments for 24 hours – this prevents irritation around the eye area.
✅ How to Maintain Your Lash Lift?
✔ After 48 hours, nourish your lashes with a professional lash serum or natural oils such as argan oil, raspberry seed oil, or sweet almond oil to keep them hydrated and strong.
✔ Use a gentle foaming lash cleanser to keep lashes clean and fresh.
