TIPS TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR LASHES
-
Avoid using oil-based skincare and makeup products around the eye, including mascara and makeup remover.
-
Avoid waterproof mascara. If you can, it is better not to use any mascara at all. You may find you don't even need it!
-
Avoid running water over your face. Moisture will break down the bond of the glue.
-
Avoid rubbing your eyes or lashes, especially when washing your face.
-
Avoid using an eyelash curler. One of the benefits of lash extensions is the ability to add curl to your lashes. If you would like more curl, please speak to your technician.
-
If you can, sleep on your back to avoid the risk of lashes rubbing against your pillow.
-
Gently brush your lashes with a mascara wand to groom them. The best time to do this is after showering, as they will be softer and less likely to damage.
-
Avoid pulling your lashes, and do not attempt to remove them yourself. If you would like them removed, please contact your technician.
-
If you experience any pain, redness or irritation, contact your technician immediately.
-
Wash your lashes daily
