Caring for Your Lashes
We want you to absolutely love your new eye;ash extensions. Here are some steps you can tale to ensure they are well cared for:
- Be gentle with your new lashes. Minimize touching. The adhesive takes a full 24 hours to cure, so avoid water, sweat, tears, or steam during that time.
- Avoid extreme heat like ovens or BBQs. These can melt or distort your lashes.
- Do not use an eyelash curler on extensions. Mascara isn't needed and should not be used. If you choose to use mascara, use one that is safe for use with extensions.
- Gently clean your lash extensions every day with Skin Spa's Instant Eye Makeup Remover. We also recommend re-sealing them every day or two with our Black Diamond sealer. Both of these products are excellent home care products and will keep your lashes clean and looking glossy and beautiful.
- Avoid rubbing or pulling lashes.
- Avoid sleeping on your eyelashes.
- Maintain extensions and keep them looking beautiful with regular touch up appointments every 2-3 weeks.
