Taking care of your eyelash extensions is important. Not only does it help ensure that your new lashes look their most beautiful for as long as possible, but proper eyelash extensions aftercare is also a must for keeping your extensions clean and preventing infection.
The good news is that caring for your eyelash extensions is super easy, so long as you know what you’re doing. Keep reading for tips, tricks, and must-know advice on how to maintain eyelash extensions and get the best bang for your buck.
One of the biggest benefits of eyelash extensions is that they help you look effortlessly put together, even without makeup. But to get the most out of your extensions, you must take care of them. Where to start? These eyelash extension tips will give you a quick overview of what you should (and shouldn’t) do when it comes to your extensions.
One of the most essential pieces of eyelash extensions home care advice has to do with cleansing. Washing your eyelash extensions prevents residue build-up, which can reduce the life of your lashes and, in some cases, lead to eye infections. To clean them, simply apply a small amount of lash shampoo, then, with a cleaning brush, carefully cleanse the area. To finish, rinse your lashes gently, pat them dry with a towel, and brush them thoroughly. It’s imperative that any product used, especially a cleansing product, is oil-free. Lash ME NYC’s exclusive lash shampoo is a safe and super effective option.
Remember to avoid using oil-based makeup on your lashes and around your eyes as well. Consider Lash ME NYC’s mascara coating, whose non-greasy formula protects the extensions from damage and locks in the extension glue for long-lasting results.
Extra Tip: Sometimes, lashes get tangled and messy, especially in the mornings. Should this occur, consider rinsing them with water. Afterward, softly comb the upper surface of the extensions using a finger positioned beneath the lashes. This will make them easier to untangle and arrange neatly.
Don’t start washing your lashes until a full 24 hours after your appointment. If you get them wet too early, you risk weakening the adhesive and causing it to become brittle, which means your lashes will almost certainly fall sooner.
If you wake up after a full night's sleep and notice that your eyelashes are tangled, it's recommended to gently comb through them using a clean spoolie (the type of brush used for mascara application).
Sleeping on your stomach or side is a sure way to make your lashes fall prematurely. Opt for your back or side instead to make sure that your lashes don’t face unnecessary friction from rubbing against your pillow.
