How To Properly Care For And Maintain Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions can beautifully enhance the shape and look of your eye and provide full, stunning lashes without the need to reapply falsies everyday.

Proper care and maintenance of your lash extensions can help them to last longer and stay looking amazing until your next infill. It can also help to protect your eyeS and prevent them from becoming irritated or sore.

When you first get your lash extensions, it is important that you avoid wetting your eyelashes for at least 24 hours afterwards. This helps to ensure the glue fully dries which extends the longevity of your eyelashes.

When washing your face or removing makeup, try to avoid oil-based products. Oil can start to break down the glue which can lead to your lashes prematurely falling off.

Instead, use a gentle cleaner with warm water and avoid rubbing or scrubbing your eyes. If you do need to directly clean your lashes, try using a soft spoolie or brush to comb them through delicately.

Baby shampoo is perfect for this as it is able to cleanse the lashes and skin but is gentle enough to not cause any irritation or pain to the eye.

It is recommended that you cleanse your lashes every day to help reduce build-up and to keep them clean and sanitary which will reduce the risk of any irritation to the eye.

You should try and avoid putting makeup directly on your lash extensions. This includes eyeliner and mascara, and you should take care not to let eyeshadow fallout build up on your lashes either.

Try not to tug on or pull at your lashes. Gently combing through them daily should help to prevent them from tangling or getting stuck together which should reduce any temptation to touch them too much.
