Beauty is an investment, and so are eyelash extensions. Instead of just getting extensions, maintaining your lashes so they stay perfect for a long time also requires you to spend time learning and understanding the proper care routine. For eyelash artists, providing proactive instructions on adequate eyelash extension aftercare for your clients is extremely necessary, as it can directly affect the reputation and income of your beauty salon business. The longer the lifespan of eyelash extensions, the higher the customer satisfaction and loyalty rate.

In this blog, Lii Lash will introduce you to a detailed eyelash extension aftercare process, including useful tips and specialized products that are trusted in the market to elevate the perfect beauty of your client's lashes to the maximum.

6 Unparalleled Lash Extension Aftercare Tips Your Clients Need to Know

The First 24 ‘Black’ Hours—Absolutely Abstain from Water

After completing all the spellbinding lash sets, the new challenge officially begins, as this stage will be the foundation to determine whether your outcome will be maintained. In the first 24 hours after the extension, the adhesive is still in the process of solidifying to completely bond with your real eyelashes and hold the extensions in perfect positions. But water or hot steam, if in contact with the eyelashes at this time, will easily weaken the adhesive, causing the extensions to peel off early and not last long, quickly shifting from the original shape. 

No matter what type of eyelash glue you use, no matter how strong the adhesion is, the first thing is that it takes time for the bond between the eyelash extensions and real eyelashes to be preserved in dry conditions. So, after your eyelash extension appointment, it is important to avoid getting your lashes wet for at least the first 24 hours by avoiding activities such as eye washing, hot baths, saunas, and swimming or sports activities that can cause excessive sweating. If necessary, you can use a warm towel to gently wipe around your eyes without touching your lashes.

Keep Oil-based Products Away from Eyelashes

Oil is a no-no for eyelash extensions, as it can easily break down the adhesive and cause your extensions to fall out prematurely. To ensure the longevity and durability of your eyelash extensions, it is essential to avoid using oil-based makeup and skincare products on your eye area.

This may sound simple, but sometimes oil can show up in products you might not expect, such as eye creams and foundations. Be sure to check the ingredients list of your eyelash care products before using them, including moisturizers, eyeliners, mascaras, cleansers, makeup removers, etc., to ensure that the adhesive on your eyelash extensions is not hindered or weakened.

Brush and Clean Lashes Daily

As they say, beauty is pain. Once you have the lashes you want, you still need to spend a little time every day to care for them by gently brushing them to keep them neat, tidy, and separate, avoiding unnatural clumping. A clean mascara wand or eyelash brush will be an indispensable assistant in your daily routine. Normally, eyelash extensions only need to be brushed 1-2 times a day, especially in the morning after waking up, which is enough to keep your lashes in good shape and avoid tangles and clumping together.

Treat Your Lashes with All Your Heart—No Rubbing or Plucking of Any Eyelashes In Sight.

After applying false eyelashes, especially for those who experience it for the first time, the tendency to unconsciously touch the extensions or rub your eyes when tired is extremely easy to happen. This is even more likely to occur while you sleep without awareness. As a result of this action, your eyelashes are at risk of falling out early and breaking off because of strong force or dirt from your hands that stick to the eyelash glue. If you do not want the life of your eyelash extensions to decrease early, or your real eyelashes to be completely thin, be gentle with your eyelashes, absolutely do not pull the eyelashes, and only gently stroke from bottom to top when removing makeup or cleaning your eyes.

Avoid Waterproof Makeup Products

Although waterproof makeup products are designed to be long-lasting and smudge-proof, they can be difficult to remove and can cause your eyelash extensions to fall out prematurely. Because residue is easy to be left behind due to difficulty in removing and accumulating on the base of the eyelash extensions, making the eyelashes heavy, or using strong force to remove makeup can also inadvertently weaken the bond between the eyelash extensions and natural lashes. Therefore, avoiding waterproof makeup products is essential to maintain the durability and hold of eyelash extensions. Prioritize choosing water-based or oil-free makeup products that are gentle on eyelash extensions and easy to remove for a perfect eyelash extension aftercare for you.

Schedule Regular Refills With Local Lash Artists

Lash clients need to understand that eyelashes have a natural growth cycle, and over time, some lashes will naturally fall out regardless of the skill of the artist and the quality of the lashes. Therefore, it is essential to schedule regular lash refills to replace lost lashes to maintain a full and bouncy look. Typically, eyelash extensions will be scheduled every 2-4 weeks, depending on the condition of the extensions and the natural growth cycle of the client's real lashes. Discuss with your eyelash artist in advance to proactively refill on time for the absolute longevity of the eyelashes.

Specialized Aftercare Products: Your Essentials for Flawless Eyelash Extensions Care Routine

Lash Extension Cleanser

An Indispensable Savior for Eyelash Extensions

After the first 24 hours of eyelash extensions, it is time for you to remember to clean your lashes regularly. This plays an important role in keeping the lashes clean, contributing to the longevity of the extensions, and removing bacteria and oil, minimizing the risk of infection or eye irritation. 

To maximize support for this care step, eyelash extension cleanser has been born as a specially formulated cleanser for eyelash wearers. You can use shampoo to wash your lashes during the pre-extension treatment stage or use it daily. This foam can quickly remove dirt, excess oil, and makeup residue from the lashes without affecting the lashes themselves. 

Over time, natural oils, skin care product residue, and cosmetic debris can build up on your lashes, leading to clogged hair follicles and infections like blepharitis. To maintain maximum lash health while still looking great with full, voluminous extensions, eyelash cleansers are designed to gently cleanse the skin while keeping the eye area moisturized. Removing dirt from your extensions also helps to leave your lashes feeling less weighed down, cleaner, and more comfortable, which can help prolong the life of your lashes. However, it is important to be mindful of the type of product you are choosing when choosing an eyelash shampoo. Because to protect the sensitive skin around the eyes, a premium, non-toxic, and hypoallergenic cleanser will be the optimal choice, especially for daily use.

Choosing The Right Ideal Eyelash Cleanser

As mentioned above, although the main function is to clean and remove dirt on eyelash extensions in a benign way, each type of aftercare product on the market has different ingredients suitable for each individual person. Eyelash wearers need to pay close attention to this issue to determine which will be the optimal companion for them.

At Lii Lash, there are 2 different types of eyelash shampoos provided to suit customers' preferences and suitability: Soothing and Gentle Lash Foam Cleanser. Although meeting separate needs, deep cleaning effectiveness is always absolutely maintained through each product.
