Classic Lash Extension Aftercare: Keep Your Lashes Looking Flawless
Congratulations on your beautiful new set of classic lash extensions! Choosing a certified, highly trained lash artist is the first step to effortless beauty—and now, you get to enjoy waking up every day with a touch of instant glamour.
To help you keep your lashes looking their absolute best, here’s a clear, expert-backed guide to aftercare. With the right routine, your extensions will remain comfortable, beautiful, and long-lasting.
The First 24 Hours: Protect Your Investment
- Keep Lashes Dry: Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours following your appointment. (If your artist used a specific adhesive, ask for their recommendation.)
- If They Get Wet: Gently pat dry—never rub. Rubbing can cause premature lash loss and impact your next fill.
Ongoing Lash Extension Care
- Avoid Eye Makeup: Skip eyeliner and mascara near your extensions. These products can compromise the adhesive and cause buildup.
- No Oil-Based Products: Avoid makeup removers and cleansers with oil, as oil breaks down the lash bond. I’m happy to recommend a safe, gentle lash cleanser for your daily routine.
- Limit Heat Exposure: Steer clear of saunas, hot tubs, and direct heat from ovens or stoves. Excess heat can weaken the adhesive.
- Skip Mascara: Your extensions provide all the volume you need! Mascara can clump and weaken bonds, making fills more difficult.
- Hands Off: Avoid rubbing, pulling, or picking at your lashes—this can damage both extensions and your natural lashes.
- Sleep Smart: Try not to sleep on your face. Consider a cupped sleep mask to help protect your lashes overnight.
- Clean & Brush Daily: Gently cleanse your lashes every day to remove makeup and debris. Brush with a clean spoolie to keep them neat and separated. (Remember to clean your spoolie regularly.)
Maintaining Your Lash Look
- Gentle Care: Pat your lashes dry after cleansing, and avoid any harsh movements.
- Routine Maintenance: Regular fills and proper aftercare extend the life and beauty of your lashes.
- Professional Products: Ask about recommended cleansers and tools to keep your lashes and eyes healthy.
