Its been quite a while since I have written anything. Business has been growing well and has been keeping me on my toes. Many of my clients ask how to take care of their lashes to allow them to last longer and look great. Many factors play a key in how long your lash extensions lash before a touchup lifestyle, sleep, cleaning and simply just your natural skin reactions.
First step in taking care of your lashes is to wait 24 to 48 hours before wetting them. Once your lashes have been applied wait 1 to 2 days. Stay away from the steam room and sanaus as well. Once you have completed the waiting period you may wash your lashes and even enter the steam room.
Also, use a sealant. A great eyelash sealant provides a protective barrier to protect against the elements that break down the adhesive. Sealant not only gives the extensions a maximum bond but also keeps the extensions moisturized, glossy, clean and beautifully groomed. For best results, use this sealant daily to extend the life of your eyelash extensions.
Dont forget to cross check any medications and eyedrops. Many eyedrops can cause an adverse reaction with the glue and sealant causing multiple complications including clumping or loss of lashes.
Use a water base mascara. Do not use oil or waterproof mascara this will breakdown and destroy the glue.
Use an oil free makeup remover. The glue used in lash extensions is oil base so using other oil based products will break down the glue causing your lashes to come off sooner than later.
Brush and dry your lashes. When leaving the shower you can use your blow drying on a cool setting to dry your lashes. Simply hold the drying below your nose and blow your lashes up. This will allow your lashes to dry in the correction direction reducing the crisscossing of lashes.
See your lash stylist every 2 to 3 weeks. This will keep your lashes full and complete.
