You’re a firm believer that the right lashes can elevate your look even with minimal makeup. This is why you invested in lashes full volume with the help of your favourite lash artist. But do you know the right way to maintain them? Here are some tips that you should keep in mind:
- Give your lashes time to cure. Lash extensions need time to fully adhere, so make sure that you don’t rub, touch or even brush them for at least two days after they’re installed. This gives the adhesive time to settle and cure so they stay on for a longer time. It’s also best to avoid steam showers, hot yogas and saunas during this time since the heat can make the adhesive less effective.
- Make it a habit to brush your lashes. Even the best quality lashes need to be brushed every morning and at nighttime to keep them separated from each other and avoid clumping. You can use a spoolie to fluff your lashes gently as part of your skincare routine.
- Never rub your eyes after washing. It’s so easy to get tempted to rub your eyes with a towel after washing your face. But if you want to keep your lashes on for a long time, you need to avoid doing this and just pat your eye area gently. Some women even dry their lashes with a blow dryer on its lowest setting.
- Sleep on satin. A lot of experts recommend using silk or satin pillowcases since they don’t only protect your hair but also keep your lashes from being removed through friction while you sleep. If you can, try to sleep on your back to avoid rubbing your lashes against the pillow.
- Be mindful of your skincare and makeup products. When you’re using lashes, you need to be extra mindful of what you put on your face. Oil-based products like makeup and eye creams may dissolve the glue that’s used in your lashes, causing them to snag. So if you can, avoid using these products to keep your lashes on for a longer time without constant need for touchups.
