At Brow and Wax Wizard, we love helping our clients achieve the stunning, eye-opening look that only high-quality eyelash extensions can provide. To ensure your new lashes stay beautiful for as long as possible, proper aftercare is essential. Following a few simple steps can make all the difference in maintaining that flawless, fresh-from-the-salon look and protecting your natural lashes.
How to Care for Your Eyelash Extensions
Keep Them Dry for the First 24-48 Hours
Exposing your new lashes to water, steam, or humidity too soon can weaken the bond, leading to premature shedding. We advise our clients to avoid showers, saunas, and swimming for the first day or two to ensure the best possible retention and longevity for their lash set.
Cleanse and Brush Them Daily
Use a gentle, oil-free lash cleanser and a soft brush to carefully clean your lashes daily. Afterward, gently pat them dry and brush them with a clean spoolie to keep them fluffy and perfectly separated.
Avoid Oil-Based Products
Oils are the enemy of lash adhesive. Be mindful of your skincare and makeup products, ensuring that any items used around the eye area are oil-free. This includes eyeliners, eyeshadows, and especially makeup removers.
Be Gentle and Mindful of Your Habits
Your daily habits can impact the lifespan of your eyelash extensions. Avoid rubbing or pulling at your eyes, and try to sleep on your back or side to prevent crushing your lashes against your pillow. Using a silk or satin pillowcase can also help, as the smooth surface reduces friction and snagging, keeping your extensions looking their best for longer.
By following these aftercare tips, you can enjoy your beautiful lashes for weeks to come. Proper care not only extends the life of your extensions but also keeps your natural lashes healthy and strong.
