Lash extensions are a fantastic way to enhance your eyes and elevate your look, but improper care can shorten their lifespan or even damage your natural lashes. Whether you’re a lash enthusiast or new to the world of lash extensions, maintaining them properly is key to keeping them flawless. Here are five common mistakes to avoid to ensure your lash extensions last longer and stay stunning.
1. Rubbing or Pulling Your Lashes
It can be tempting to touch your lashes, especially if they feel a little out of place. However, rubbing or pulling on your extensions can weaken the adhesive bond and lead to premature lash fall. If you need to adjust them, use a clean spoolie brush to gently comb them into place.
2. Using Oil-Based Products
Oil-based cleansers, moisturizers, or makeup removers can break down the adhesive used to bond your lash extensions, causing them to fall off sooner than expected. Opt for oil-free products specifically designed for lash extensions to maintain their longevity.
3. Skipping Proper Cleaning
Contrary to popular belief, lash extensions need regular cleaning to avoid buildup of dirt and oils that can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes. Use a gentle, lash-safe cleanser to keep your extensions clean and fresh without compromising their durability.
4. Sleeping on Your Stomach
Sleeping face-down puts unnecessary pressure on your lash extensions, which can lead to breakage or distortion. To protect your lashes, try sleeping on your back or invest in a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.
5. Overloading Mascara on Extensions
Most lash extensions are designed to eliminate the need for mascara, but if you do want to add some, avoid waterproof formulas. Waterproof mascara is difficult to remove and can weaken the adhesive. A light coat of extension-safe mascara is fine, but less is always more.
