After care

So you've just got your freshly done eyelash extensions and you can't stop admiring your new look. Now what? Well, eyelashes extensions can be delicate, but with our simple to follow after care routines, you can make this a second nature in no time and keeping those flawless lashes last longer between refills!

Do

Leave them alone, particularly during the first few hours. The more you touch them, the more oils from your fingers get on them, the more strain on the lash root etc.
Keep them as dry as possible for at least 24. This means, it’s ideal if you don’t wash your hair during this time. However, if you need to, use only lukewarm water, and keep water off your eyes. This also includes avoiding steamy environments, very hot showers, spas, saunas etc. for 24 hours as a minimum. If it’s a very hot and humid day, try to stay out of the heat/sweat etc.
After the 24 hour mark, they are technically waterproof, however, if you exposing them to steam regularly or rubbing them from swimming lots, they won’t last as long – so just gently pat them dry when wet
If you have a very oily face, try to control this as much as possible with blotting papers, mattifying lotions etc. and by using oil-control moisturizer.
Make sure you are using oil-free products on your face, particularly eye makeup removers and cleansers. We can recommend products.
Clean them properly, at least a few times a week with a foaming lash cleanser.
Let us know before your infill if you think you will need more time because you have lost more lashes than expected, or want to upgrade to a thicker set/more lashes.

Don't

Don’t play with or pick at your lashes, rub your eyes roughly. If you are a picker, it can really damage your natural lashes
Don’t use oily products on your eyes or face i.e. facial cleansing oils, coconut oil, micellar water (near the eyes anyway) or oily makeup remover
Don’t use waterproof or oil based mascara or eyeliner (felt tip/pen-style liquid liner is usually fine, or we stock a range of suitable makeup items)
Don’t use baby wipes/makeup wipes/cotton pads to wipe makeup off them
Don’t try to remove them yourself – as it may damage your natural lashes. We can remove
Don’t put strip lashes on top of them unless you are prepared to lose a few of your own lashes when you try to take them off and work like a surgeon to get them off gently!
Don’t use eyelash curlers of any kind on them – they don’t like it need it and we can make them more curled at infills if you want to change anything.
Don’t try to light a cigarette on your toaster or stove-top (good life advice generally.. – but will also stop your lashes getting singed and frazzled on the ends!)
