​The benefits of taking care of your lash extensions include:
-
Extending the length of your application: When you proactively care for your lashes in the hours after
application, they will simply look better, for longer, requiring less maintenance from you in the long run.
-
Financial savings: The better you care for your lash extensions, the longer they will last, which means
you’ll need touch-ups and replacements less frequently.
-
ï‚·Supportive of overall lash health: Learning how to care for your lash extensions will also equip you with
helpful knowledge of how to care for your natural lashes and overall eye health.
Don’t forget** to schedule for refills online via our website or at checkout. Refills are typically scheduled 1-
3 weeks as necessary depending on lash retention. (Lashes shed 3-5 per day).
How to Care for Eyelash Extensions
After Application: The Do’s and Don'ts
The first 48 hours after your lash service are important, but the first 24 are critical. Pay attention to
these important do’s and don’ts.
​
Do this:
-
ï‚·Keep your lashes as dry as possible. Avoid swimming, humidity, or sweating as much as possible.
-
ï‚· Sleep on your back, if possible.
-
ï‚· CLEANSE Lashes DAILY: Use an oil free lash shampoo. For example: Johnson & Johnson No tears,
Symetrie Lash Bath or water. Use less than a dime size and diluted with water with a soft/fluffy makeup
brush or the eyelash brush that was sent home with you today. Feel free to reach out to us via text, e-mail
or by calling with any questions.
Don’t do this:
-
ï‚·Don’t touch, pull or curl your new lashes. They’re beautiful and breathtaking to look at, of course, but
touching them may disturb the eyelash adhesive that may still be setting.
-
ï‚· Don’t wear eye makeup of any kind, including mascara, eyeliner, or eyeshadow for the first 24 hours. DO
NOT EVER USE MASCARA on your extensions!
-
ï‚· Don’t use oil-based cleansers. Keeping your face clean is important, but avoid cleansers with an oil base
because this may break down the eyelash adhesive.
-
ï‚· Don’t use eye creams of any kind near your extensions. These are usually thick and oil-based, and are
therefore best avoided.
-
ï‚· REMINDER: Lash cycles vary per person. Lash cycles can be very inconsistent due to vitamin deficiency
and hormone imbalances.
