Aftercare + Retention
What you need to know about caring for your investment
I just bought myself some beautiful lashes... now what?
Ongoing Aftercare
Cleanse your lashes every single day, 1-2 times with an extension safe cleanser and soft bristle brush. Rinse, blot dry and softly comb with a spoolie. You can also blow dry them on a cool setting.
Use oil-free makeup remover.
Pay special attention to your lash line when removing makeup.
Brush lashes twice daily to keep them in order, but don't over do it.
Try to sleep on your back or side, with your lashes off the pillow.
Make sure you schedule your fill appointment every 2-3 weeks.
Never attempt to remove your lash extensions - they must be professionally removed, and I will do so free of charge!
Don't tan or spray tan within the first 72 hours after your application.
Don't use mascara on your lashes
Don't perm curl your lashes
Don't pull or tug on your lashes or rub your eyes
Avoid saunas and hot steam (including facials) for the first 48 hours
Avoid getting your lashes wet within the first 24-48 hours
Do not use eyeliner pencils - use an oil-free felt tip only
Do not use cotton balls or pads with loose fibers that can catch on your lash extensions.
Remove any excess makeup around the eye using an oil-free makeup remover
Grab your favorite lash extension cleanser and a fluffy eyeshadow brush
Squeeze one pump of your cleanser onto the brush.
Swirl the brush across your eyelid, natural lash base and lower lid. *If you notice the foam dissolving quickly add another pump of cleanser
Rinse the eye with cold/warm water.
Repeat on the opposite eye.
Once DRY brush lashes into place.
