Taking care of your Eyelash extensions

Eyelash extensions are pretty, and with some care and attention, you can extend their lives by a few weeks. Let us check out some aftercare for your extensions to elongate their lives.

Eyelash extensions are one of the most requested lashes & brows treatments at a beauty salon. These faux lashes can transform one’s looks, giving the face a glamorous touch. Made from mink, human, silk, or horsehair, you can find several options in artificial lashes. Now, with the rise in Veganism, the beauty industry has launched cruelty-free and vegan lashes free from human or animal-derived products.

These semi-permanent eyelashes are hand-glued by a technician over the natural lashes. It is a contrast to the temporary lashes, which are attached with cyanoacrylate adhesive. Users of these lashes have confirmed that these semi-permanent eyelash extensions are super light on the eyes. Moreover, it can be customized. With proper care, you can expect the lashes to last for more than eight weeks. After that, they fall off just like natural lashes.

These lashes are safe for the skin, but improper care and incorrect application can lead to traction alopecia – skin condition where the natural eyelashes fall of the eye due to the constant weight of the extensions. Fret not, as such issues are triggered only when the faux lashes are attached incorrectly.

To maintain the lashes, and ensure their longevity, you need to follow some dos and don’ts. These pointers can extend the life of your lashes. And, can extend your fill-in appointments.

Here is the list of dos and don’ts –

1.    Don’ts

Among the list of don’ts, there are quite a few things you should not do after getting your lashes done. For starters, do not wear any eye makeup post your extension appointment. Makeup can interfere with the lash glue and can impact the final result.

Also, try to keep your face dry as much as possible until 12 to 24 hours post-treatment. Water can react with your lash extension and impact their longevity. After the given time you can wet your face or go for a swim.

Most eyelash technicians recommend their clients to stay away from mascara. Because, when you try to remove the mascara from the eyelashes, it creates a micro-friction leading to breakage of the strands of hair. For eyeliner, try to avoid cream-based products, as they can react to the eyelash glue and lead to breakage.

2.    Do’s

For makeup removal in the eye region, technicians at Beverly Hills Spa recommend using a lash extension friendly makeup remover. Many makeup-removers and aggressive exfoliants can break the extension bonds, causing them to fall prematurely. Also, brush your newly done lashes after a shower to keep them tangle-free. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase tends to help in easy maintenance of the lashes, extending their life by a few weeks.

Yes, the extensions demand some effort and care, but they are worth it. Your eyelash extensions are beautiful, and little care can help you a long way in maintaining them. And opt for a highly recommended spa or med-salon to get the service done.
