Having some eyelash extensions is great but taking care of them is even better. I have written for you 5 tips to keep your eyelash extensions as beautiful and long as possible.
1. Clean your eyelashes everyday
The best way to keep your eyelashes clean is to use a lash extension-safe cleanser
2. Do not rub your eyes or lashes when washing your face.
Clean around the eyes with a wash cloth. Remember that this is also a recommendation to avoid the spread of coronavirus.
3. Do not use oil-based products
Eyelash extensions and oil fight like cat and dog. Only use beauty products, creams or cosmetics that are free of oil. And when in doubt, always read the ingredients label to make sure what you are using is truly oil-free. As an easy reminder, only use water-based products (including makeup remover).
4. Some precautions with mascara
I do not recommend to wear mascara while having eyelash extensions – that is actually one of the main benefits of having some eyelash extensions. Howerver, if you decide to wear some mascara, make sure to only use a water-based mascara. Notice that this is NOT the same as waterproof mascara. Read the labels carefully.
5. Do not get your lashes wet for 24h
6. Do not use eyelash curler

7. Do eyelash infills regularly
I recommend you to do eyelash infills every 2 – 4 weeks.
This is because your lash extensions are bonded to your natural lashes. Your own eyelashes fall out naturally everyday (around 20 lashes per week). This happens because of the natural lashes cycle. You loose around 40 natural lashes after 2 weeks, 60 after 3 weeks etc…
Unfortunately, this is not something that can be controlled. The only solution is to “refill” your eyelash extension with infills.
