Regardless of whether you have chosen a more natural or dramatic look with your eyelash extensions, you obviously want your result to stay nice for as long as possible. In addition, if it is the first time you are extending your eyelashes, it can be difficult to know how best to take care of them before the next return visit. Here we share our best tips for how to make your eyelash extensions last the best!
1. Be careful!
It probably sounds obvious, but many people do not understand how important it is to be very careful with their eyelash extensions. Your eyelashes have a natural growth cycle which means that we naturally lose a few lashes every day - and the same goes for extended lashes. To avoid losing more than that, it is therefore important that you avoid rubbing your eyes, pulling your lashes and that you are careful both when applying and removing make-up around your eyes.
2. Avoid this type of mascara!
Many people get eyelash extensions to avoid applying mascara completely, and it is of course also the most gentle thing for your extension. Especially for those of you who choose to get voluminous lashes where you risk tangling your lashes when you wash off the mascara.
If, on the other hand, you would like to be able to add an even more dramatic look to your lashes with the help of mascara, you should avoid using one with a waterproof formula. To wash off a waterproof mascara requires much more intense rubbing and then you risk losing several lashes prematurely. To keep your beautiful result longer, you should instead make sure to use a mascara that contains caring ingredients and that you can easily wash off.
3. Be careful what your makeup remover contains.
If you use make-up remover or any other form of cleansing around your eyes, you should be careful to ensure that the product does not contain any oils. Why? Oil breaks down the glue used during eyelash extensions and with it will ensure that your lashes come off quickly. Our Cleansing foam is designed for gentle cleansing after eyelash treatments and works great to use even after eyelash extensions.
4. Clean and brush your lashes daily.
In order for your eyelash extension to last the best, it is very important that you make sure to keep your extension as clean as possible. Therefore, use a gentle and oil-free cleanser daily to avoid dirt and impurities prematurely ruining your extension. After you've cleaned your lashes, it's also good to brush them through with a clean mascara brush to maintain both shape and volume and minimize the risk of them tangling.
