In our latest blog, we have gathered some helpful tips on how you can maintain beautiful and long-lasting lashes after an eyelash lift session.

THE FIRST 24 HOURS ARE CRUCIAL

An eyelash lift usually takes 2 days to properly set. In the first 24-hours after the lash lift session, you need to make sure that there is no moisture would get in your lashes. Don’t wash directly into it and don’t go to saunas, swimming pools, and other areas with a wet environment.

Another valuable tip is to avoid wearing makeup for the first 24 hours. This way, you can give your lash lift a longer life.

STOP USING AN EYELASH CURLER

Using eyelash curlers will just make all your effort and money of getting a lash lift to waste as they can make your lashes turn to normal. So as much as possible, keep curlers away from that already beautiful lash.

DON’T USE OIL-CONTAINING LASH PRODUCTS

Once an oily product coats your lashes, it will be very difficult to remove them. Oils also have the ability to prevent lasting curls so you must avoid getting them in your lashes. Make sure to check the labels and ingredients of the make-up you are going to buy and make sure they don’t contain oil.

KEEP LASH GROOMING A ROUTINE

Keeping your eyelashes clean all the time is one of the best maintenance care you can perform after a lash lift as dirt and follicle blockage are among the biggest factor of lashes falling out.

Clean your lashes gently every day by using a soft lash brush and oil-free cleaner so dirt, oil and dead skin will not have any opportunity of building up.

KEEP YOUR LASHES CONDITIONED

Conditioning your lashes regularly will keep them in top shape, and in turn, make them stay curled and luscious for a long time. One of the best lash conditioners is castor oil. You can use it overnight on your lashes and wash it off using warm water and a clean towel as soon as you wake up.

HANDLE THEM WITH CARE

As much as possible, don’t try to pull, struck, rub, or play with your lash lift. Rubbing and playing with them can break your eyelashes, lift the solution, and spoil your curl so you should never do them.

AVOID EXTREME HEAT

Extreme heat can is one of the worst enemies of lash lift. Protect your lashes by avoiding intense heat which usually comes from beauty tools and kitchen appliances.

GET YOUR LASHES TO REST

Getting a regular lash lift can get your lashes to become over-processed and damaged.

This way, your lashes will have time to recover and get back to their natural state.
