How Do I Take Care of My Lash Extensions?

So, you have beautiful flirty lashes and want them to last! The next obvious question is, how do I take care of my lash extensions so that I get the longest wear out of them? Let’s take a look at the do’s and don’ts of having lash extensions!

Sweating:

First off, let’s talk activity level! Now, I know you may feel like a superhero with your new lashes, but try to avoid activities that will cause you to break a sweat. That means no heavy lifting, no running marathons, and definitely no entering any arm wrestling competitions. Now, if you are able to clean your extensions shortly after a gruelling workout – then sweat away! We have many athletes, instructors, personal trainers and gym-goers. As a result of cleaning the extensions directly after sweating, they have no issues keeping their lovely lashes on for the 2-3 weeks between fills. Throw our eye cleanser in your gym bag and you are good to go. Your lashes will thank you!

Night-time Routine:

Next, it’s all about that night time routine! When you hit the hay, make sure to give your lashes a little extra TLC by sleeping on your back. This will keep those lashes looking fabulous for as long as possible. Can’t sleep on your back? Invest in a 3D eye mask! The pockets within the mask protect the extensions from side sleeping! This is an easy way to help take care of your lash extensions!

Cleansing After-Care:

Now, when it comes to cleansing, it’s important to keep your extensions clean and free of any oil or dirt. Gently wash your lashes with a lash-friendly cleanser (Preston and Adore Organic Lash Cleanser is a fantastic option $40 www.framelashstudio.com/shop) twice per day! . Let them air dry naturally and give them a brush! No need to rub those lashes like you’re trying to start a fire – the more gentle you can be the better! Avoid patting them with cloths or towels. Remember to keep cotton pads and Q-tips away from your eyes as the tiny cotton fibres can get trapped around the glue bonds! The cleaner the extensions are, the longer they will last. Period.

Activities:

And last but not least, let’s talk about the activities that can put a little extra stress on those lashes. Excess chemicals and heat can cause stress on the glue bond and cause premature shedding of the extensions. Try to avoid swimming in chlorinated pools, hot tubs, and saunas. Also, make sure to turn your head when opening a BBQ or oven as the initial blast of heat can cause the lashes to frizzle at the ends (and sometimes even melt together).

And there you have it!  Taking care of your lash extensions shouldn’t add additional stress to your life! They should make your life easier! Just follow these simple steps and your lashes will be looking fabulous for weeks to come!
