Even lash artists need to be loved, just like their clients' lashes! Working at full capacity with each client appointment lasting 2 to 3 hours to transform spellbinding eyelash results, your body will be exposed to many potential health risks. The more clients you see in a day, the more stress your health will be under with prolonged pain and fatigue, as you have to focus on working continuously. 

If you value your career as a professional lash tech and want to make it a long-term career, understanding specific exercises and health tips to prevent illness is essential. Let’s join Lii Lash in this blog to grasp the most exclusive lash artist self-care guide for yourself.

Why Paying Attention to Your Health is Crucial for Your Lash Performance

Eyelash extensions can be time-consuming. And like any job that involves repetitive motion and precision, eyelash extensions also carry the risk of causing stress injuries. The more you do, the more pressure you put on your body. As eyelash extension technicians often spend hours hunched over fanning and applying lashes to clients, they usually experience pain in their necks, eyes, and especially their wrists and fingers—the most important assistants in their work.

So, to ensure your productivity is always at a stable level for maximum stunning lash outcomes and pain-free lashing, you need to stick with the body health care tips from the experts mentioned below. All to make "beauty no longer a pain" for both clients and eyelash artists.

The Perfect Posture for Pain-free Lashing

Remember, your spine health is crucial. Besides adding volume and thickness to your client's eyelashes, the way you sit is also something worth paying attention to. The less sore you are, the more customers you serve! However, bad posture can bring you health consequences such as poor blood circulation, poor digestion, or even negative mood, increased stress, and fatigue all over the body.

To capture your good posture throughout your eyelash extensions, try to keep your back as straight as possible, with your shoulders relaxed and your feet flat on the ground. Keep your arms and knees slightly bent at 90–120 degrees when sitting, with your hands in a neutral position and not bent up or down. If you need to lean more towards your client to isolate or apply the lashes more precisely, move forward with your entire body rather than just your back. As long as you train yourself to be aware of any hunching or straining that is occurring during the application and correct your posture, pain is something you can easily avoid.

Stretching Exercises for Wrists & Whole Body

Hand and Wrists Stretching

Due to the precise efforts of creating stunning lashes from the constant use of tweezers, your hands, wrists, or even fingers can quickly become tired. To relieve the immediate discomfort and contribute to the long-term health of your hands, you can refer to the quick but effective massage and acupressure movements in the image below.

Making a fist is the simplest way to stretch the muscles of your hands and fingers to both relieve and prevent pain! You can also stretch your wrists by pulling each finger forward and back at the same time. Use your other hand to pull one finger forward rather than the back of your hand. Do this with all the fingers on both hands. You can count to 10 seconds for each finger, then do it with the other hand and repeat twice. Additionally, stretching your arms forward as if you were bending or exposing something on your fingers is also one of the stretches you can do to relax both your wrists and arms.

Body Stretching

A stretching exercise a day keeps the muscle strain away! As a lash artist, your job requires you to bend down and care for each client’s lashes for hours on end, so it’s important to prepare yourself with stretching exercises to prevent any aches and pains you may experience.

Pain in the neck and shoulder can quickly spread to your back. Relieve tension with a quick seated stretch like clasping your hands together and turning them so your thumbs are facing the ground, then rounding your shoulders and reaching forward as far as you can for a good stretch in your upper back. You can also repeat this stretch in the opposite direction behind your back as shown below. For a triceps stretch, bring one elbow up behind your head while bending your arm. Grab that elbow with your opposite hand and gently pull the elbow back toward your head, then repeat with the other arm and elbow. If your upper body pain persists and becomes severe due to sitting in the wrong position for a long time, use additional back, shoulder, and neck support belts or see a specialist soon to avoid affecting work performance.

Eye Care Tips to Maintain Good Eyesight

Your eyes are more important than anything else, as they are your best assistants for properly isolating and creating perfect lashes. Therefore, it is important for every lash artist to remember to take good care of their eyes after every long and intense lash extension appointment.

To ensure your eyes are fully nourished and in the best condition at every eyelash extension session, use benign eye drops, drink plenty of water combined with applying specialized eye exercises. The easiest and quickest exercise you can try in your free time is to sit at a desk, rub your hands together to create heat, then cup your eyes over each palm and hold for 30 seconds at a time. Another useful exercise you can practice is the 20/20/20 rule, which simply means that after every 20 minutes of focused work, try to look away at an object 20 feet away for a total of 20 seconds, preferably something green to help soothe your eyes. While getting eyelash extensions, this can be difficult and slow down your pace, but you can apply it in your free time between appointments to give your eyes enough rest. Besides, to avoid headaches and blurred vision, refrain from squinting or straining your eyes while performing services. Consider using a magnifying glass or reading glasses and adding brighter or more focused lighting to your work area.

Expert Tricks to Optimize Your Working Time

The products you use also affect your performance. Sounds strange, but it's true! The easier lashes are to create a fan and be placed precisely on natural lashes, the shorter the working time and the less muscle soreness you'll have.
