• To allow the adhesive to properly bond, your eyelashes should not get wet for a minimum of two hours; 48 hours is ideal. A dry washcloth can be rolled up and placed over your brows when you shower to protect your extensions from becoming wet.
• Do not use regular or waterproof mascara. Most brands of mascara contain chemical properties and oils that will break down the adhesive. Removing mascara from your lashes can cause the extensions to fall off prematurely as well. If you want to further enhance your lash extensions, we have a specially formulated eyelash extension mascara that is ideal for coating your extensions. Ask your lash stylist for more information.
• Take special care around the eyes when cleansing your face. Gently cleanse the eye area and do not scrub or rub your eyes. Avoid any type of oil-based product around the eyes. Again, the oils will break down the adhesive and cause the extensions to fall off. Resuming normal activities like washing your face is okay; if possible, wait up to 12 hours.
• Never use a clamp-style eyelash curler on your extensions. This can permanently damage not only the extensions, but your natural eyelashes as well. Eyelash combs are great for grooming your lashes every morning.
• Eyelash adhesives are cured by moisture. However, by avoiding extreme variations of heat, humidity, and cold (hot showers, saunas, zero degree weather), your extensions can last longer.
• Be sure to schedule an Eyelash™ Re-Beautify appointment every two to three weeks for timely touch-ups. This will keep your lashes looking full and natural.
• Do not attempt to remove the extensions yourself. Have them removed by your professional. Useful tips to extend the life of your Eyelash Extensions:
• After a shower you can gently dry and shape your eyelashes using your hair dryer on the lowest setting. Hold the dryer at least 20 centimeters below your face and gently coax the eyelashes with your index finger in an upward motion until they are dry.
• When you shower, keep a towel in easy reach so that you can gently pat your eyes between washing and conditioning your hair. This saves you rubbing your eyes to clear your vision so that you can locate the conditioner.
