It is recommended that you do not get your new lash extensions wet for at least 24 hours after they are applied and to also avoid Saunas, Exercise, Swimming or Skin Treatments as the glue is still curing. If you do get them wet, they can crystallise and cause irritation which may lead to rubbing of the eyes. We also advise against booking any invasive skin treatments or injectables in the 5 days after your appointment.

​

PICKING OR RUBBING: Often you may find yourself rubbing your eyes, however, excessive rubbing or picking your lash extensions can loosen the adhesive and cause the extensions to fall out. This can also lead to loss or damage of your natural lashes. It is advised to avoid rubbing your eyes when wearing lash extensions.

​

CLEANING: Whilst you may be hesitant to touch your extensions, if you do not remove the debris and dirt build up, you up may end up losing extensions. Not cleaning your extensions can invite infection or inflammation into the hair follicle. Brushing your extensions is important general care - You should brush your lashes with a spoolie or lash brush in the morning and after getting them wet. Make sure you use gentle strokes when brushing and clean your spoolie or brush when done.

​

MASCARA: One of the many benefits of lash extensions is not having to wear mascara. Mascara can break down the bonds on the adhesive of the extensions. If you insist on still wearing mascara, make sure to apply it only on the middle of the lashes up to the tip. Waterproof mascara is not recommended as it is harder to remove which can cause tugging your lash extensions out place.

It is always recommended to not wear any mascara when you have lash extensions.

​

OILY SKIN: Having oily skin can be difficult to manage at the best of times, unfortunately it can also cause issues for your lash extensions, as the oil in your skin can break down the adhesive, causing lashes not to stick. In extreme cases lash extensions may not even stick at all.

​

SKIN CARE: Using oil based skin care products is also not recommend, as these can break down the adhesive, causing your lash extensions to fall out.

 

MEDICATIONS/VITAMINS: Thyroid medication can change the environment of the lash area, making your lashes naturally oilier. Please be aware if you are taking thyroid medication, your lashes may respond differently. Vitamins that encourage or stimulate hair growth may also cause your lashes to shed faster.  

​

SLEEPING: We all have different sleeping positions we prefer to be comfortable at night. Those who sleep on their stomachs may have issues with the longevity of their lash extensions, as placing your face directly on your pillow every night can cause the extensions to bend or rub against the adhesive. If possible try to sleep on your back.
