Eyelash Extension Pre-care and Preparation
Eyelash Extension Aftercare
- Ensure you wear no eye makeup to your service appointment as it interferes with the adhesives. Remove any eye makeup with an oil free makeup remover.
- You will need to remove contact lenses before application.
Eyelash Extension Aftercare
- First 2 – 3 hours:
- Resist the temptation to touch your beautiful extensions after application
- Do not allow water to contact the eyelashes
- First 2 days:
- Do not wash your new eyelashes with hot water, avoid steaming the face.
- Avoid swimming, using a jacuzzi or steam bath/sauna
- Oil breaks down the bond in the glue, so in saying this avoid using products with oil in them. You may need to check products such as moisturisers, makeup, cleansers etc.
- No mascara unless it is eyelash extension safe (most mascaras have oil in them). Ask me where to get oil free mascara.
- Resist the urge to pick or rub your lashes
- Wash your lashes every day or two using an oil free eyelash shampoo. Do this in a downward motion, not side to side. Gently pat them dry afterwards.
- Do not get your extensions tinted, permed or curled. This can only be done to the natural lash before application
- If you experience any signs of irritation, contact your eyelash technician immediately. You could be experiencing an allergic reaction to the extensions and you will need to have them removed.
- A refill to keep your lashes looking beautiful is required every 2 – 4 weeks – everyone has different growth cycles so make your booking when you feel the need.
- Brush your lashes every day. This will help keep them healthy and have them sit nicely on your face.
- To help give your eyelash extensions the best possible aftercare I offer two products to my clients:
- Sealer – Used to create a seal around the eyelash extension and natural eyelash to help the lashes last longer. This is a great product for those who work out regularly.
- Mascara – Water based (not oil based) so it won’t affect the bond of the eyelash extension.
