To ensure your lash extensions look fabulous and last as long as possible, proper aftercare is crucial. Here are some essential tips that are easy to follow and designed to help you maintain your beautiful lashes while keeping your eyes healthy.
1. Avoid Excessive Moisture for the First 24 Hours
Although traditional advice often suggests avoiding water for 24-48 hours, if you are using LAVILASH adhesives and Super Bonder correctly, you can get your lash extensions wet immediately after the service. However, to be cautious and for the best results, it’s still recommended to avoid excessive moisture like steam rooms or heavy sweating for the first 24 hours.
2. Clean Your Lashes Regularly
Maintaining clean lashes is essential for both lash retention and ocular hygiene. Use our LAVILASH Cleanser specifically designed for eyelash extensions:
- How to Clean: Gently apply the cleanser with a clean, soft brush or your fingertips. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a lint-free towel.
- Frequency: Clean your lashes once to twice daily to remove makeup, oils, and debris.
3. Avoid Oil-Based Products
Oil-based products can weaken the adhesive bond and lead to premature lash loss. Choose oil-free makeup, makeup removers, and skincare products to extend the life of your extensions.
4. Be Gentle with Your Lashes
Handle your lashes with care to prevent them from falling out:
- No Rubbing or Tugging: Avoid rubbing your eyes or pulling on your lashes.
- Use a Lash Brush: Use a clean spoolie brush to gently comb through your lashes daily, keeping them neat and preventing tangles.
5. Sleep on Your Back
Sleeping on your back can help prevent lashes from getting crushed or distorted. If you’re a side sleeper, consider using a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction or an eye mask.
6. Avoid Heat Exposure
Excessive heat can weaken the adhesive bond. Be mindful when using hair dryers, ovens, or steam rooms. Direct heat can cause lashes to lose their curl and shape.
7. Regular Infills
To maintain fullness and keep your lashes looking their best, schedule regular infill appointments with your lash artist every 2-3 weeks. This helps replace any lashes that have naturally shed and ensures your extensions remain lush and beautiful.
Conclusion
Following these simple aftercare tips can significantly enhance lash retention and ensure that your lash extensions remain stunning and hygienic. By using high quality products like those from LAVILASH, you can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting lashes without the hassle. Proper aftercare doesn’t have to be complicated—just a few mindful steps can make a big difference.
