Not sure if you would be able to care for your eyelash extensions to make them last longer? Let us help you out! Here are a few tips to help you with your eyelash extension aftercare. And trust us, it’s super easy and hassle-free. Read on to know more.

Clean Regularly

Proper care and cleaning can help you maintain your eyelash extensions for a longer time. Some shedding is normal and should not cause you to panic. But not keeping your lash extensions clean will result in more breakage and falling of your natural lashes as well as the extensions.

In the first 24 hours post application, keep the extensions dry to help the glue and lashes settle properly. Avoid touching, tugging, pulling or rubbing the lashes otherwise it may cause the extensions to move and distort their alignment. Also, no shower, swim, heat, sauna or steam during this time.

Once the extensions are firmly glued in place after 24 hours, you should clean your eyelids and lashes regularly with cool water and a gentle cleanser. After rinsing, dab to dry, and use an eyelash brush to separate them gently to avoid tangling.

Avoid Mascara

This may come as a shocker to all the mascara lovers! But the upside is that with eyelash extensions, you would get a fuller, voluminous look without the need for mascara. If you still wish to use mascara, you can do so occasionally. Do not use waterproof mascara as removing it will tug at your extensions and cause them to break. Apply the non-waterproof kind only to the tips of your eyelash extensions, and remember to take it off with a gentle cleanser. This will make your extensions last longer.

Keep Oil at Bay

Oil damages the adhesive used in eyelash extensions and reduces its effectiveness. Use only oil-free skincare and makeup products to extend the life of your fluttery extensions. If you have oily lids or skin, use mattifying products, powders or blotting sheets to keep oil away from your lashes. Avoid makeup removers with oil. Better still, do not use waterproof eye makeup at all.

No False Lashes or Curlers

With eyelash extensions, curling them or applying false lashes is not required in the first place. However, if you want to add extra drama to your look, talk to your salon at the time of getting extensions done and choose a bold style according to your preference. Applying and removing false lashes can damage your extensions. Curling can also cause accidental breakage.
