To protect your lashes after getting eyelash extensions, follow these tips:
1. Avoid rubbing or touching your lashes: Be gentle with your lashes and avoid rubbing or touching them excessively. This can cause the extensions to fall out prematurely or damage your natural lashes.
2. Sleep on your back: Try to sleep on your back to prevent your lashes from getting squished or tangled while you sleep. If necessary, use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.
3. Use oil-free makeup remover: When removing makeup, use an oil-free makeup remover to avoid weakening the adhesive used for the extensions. Oil-based products can cause the extensions to loosen and fall off.
4. Avoid waterproof mascara: Waterproof mascara can be difficult to remove and may require excessive rubbing, which can damage the extensions. If you want to enhance your lashes, opt for a mascara that is specifically formulated for use with eyelash extensions.
5. Be cautious when using eye products: Avoid using oil-based eye creams, serums, or cleansers near your lashes, as they can weaken the adhesive. Instead, opt for oil-free or water-based products.
6. Brush your lashes gently: Use a clean spoolie brush to gently comb through your lashes daily. This helps to keep them neat and prevent them from tangling.
7. Avoid excessive heat and steam: Heat and steam can weaken the adhesive bond of the extensions. Avoid exposing your lashes to excessive heat, such as from hairdryers or saunas.
8. Schedule regular touch-ups: Eyelash extensions require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best. Schedule touch-up appointments every 2-3 weeks to replace any extensions that have fallen out and to maintain the desired fullness.
Remember to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your lash technician for the best results and to protect your lashes.
