Lash Aftercare That Actually Keeps Your Set Pretty
I get so excited when a set turns out fluffy and pretty - and I want you to keep that look as long as possible. Aftercare is not meant to be scary. It is just a few habits that protect the bond and keep your lashes clean.
First 24 to 48 hours
- Keep lashes dry - no steam, saunas, hot yoga, or long hot showers aimed at your face
- No rubbing, picking, or pulling
- Sleep on your back if you can, or use a softer pillowcase so you are not smushing them
- Skip mascara on the extensions (you should not need it anyway)
Cleanse gently, but do cleanse
Dirty lashes shed faster and can irritate your lids. Use a lash-safe, oil-free cleanser and a soft brush or clean fingertip. Lightly clean along the lash line, rinse carefully, and let them dry fully. Fluffy and clean beats "never touch them."
What to avoid between fills
- Oil-based removers, castor oil, coconut oil near the eyes
- Waterproof mascara
- Rubbing your eyes when you are tired (I know - try your best)
- Pulling at a loose extension - book a fill instead
When to come back
Most people love a fill around 2 to 3 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle and how you care for them. If you are in Millcreek, Sugar House, or nearby, grab a fill time before they get too sparse - smaller fills are kinder to your naturals and keep the set looking intentional.
