Eyelash extensions aftercare Hertfordshire

Most people get eyelash extensions because they are tired of the daily ritual of mascara and just want to look good each morning without any fuss. Some people get them because they still love to wear eye makeup but want to have that extra special something to make their eyes shine.

Eyelash extensions require maintenance to keep them looking their best.

Cleaning your lashes is important to make them last and for your eyes to stay healthy. Some people avoid proper cleaning being scared that their extensions will fall out. Regular cleaning removes build up of makeup, dirt, and debris, and prevents the glue bond from getting soft.

We recommend washing your lashes once or twice a day using a gentle eye makeup remover and then an oil-free lash wash or lash shampoo. Use a soft bristle brush to massage the cleanser into the root of your eyelashes and rinse with water.

It is very important to remove all eye makeup, including mascara, every day before washing your lashes. Use an oil-free makeup remover to avoid any oil content that may soften the adhesive.

Products containing oils can weaken the glue and cause the lashes to come off early. Avoid lash growth products not intended for eyelash extensions, cleansing oils, oily eye makeup removers, wipes with glycerine, baby wipes, and any products intended for very dry skin or for instant makeup removal. Choose the oil-free alternatives.

If you wear an eyeliner, avoid waterproof or kohl pencils. These types of eyeliners can be difficult to remove and may need an oil based makeup remover.

Excessive heat, such as sauna or hot baths, may affect your lash extensions. Wash and dry your lashes after exercising – sweat and oils can impact the glue.

Avoid makeup, direct water on your face, don’t touch or play with your eyelashes, avoid taking a bath, shower or washing your hair. Plan your appointment in advance before any events or trips.

By following these guidelines and incorporating good lash aftercare habits, you can enjoy beautiful eyelash extensions for longer. With proper care and maintenance, you’ll find that lash extensions not only save you time from daily mascara application but also give you stunning and hassle-free look.
