At Exhibit Medical Aesthetics, we want you to feel confident in your appearance. When you visit our team for lash extensions, you can add volume and length to your lashes to achieve effortless beauty. And while we know that lash extensions don’t last forever, we still want you to enjoy yours for as long as possible.
Here, we’ll give our top tips on how to maintain your lash extensions near Chatham, NJ, so you can enjoy effortless beauty as long as possible before revisiting our team for a refresh.
1) Keep Them Clean & Dry
Avoid getting your lash extensions wet for about 24 to 48 hours after they are applied to allow the adhesive to fully dry. After this point, you can shower and bathe as normal, but try to avoid getting direct streams of water on your lashes. You should also avoid hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms, since hot and moist environments like these break down the adhesive more quickly.
2) Use Oil-Free Products
Oil-based makeup and skincare products also break down the adhesive faster, causing your lashes to fall out sooner. We suggest avoiding using oil-based products to prolong the lifespan of your lash extensions.
3) Be Gentle With Your Lashes
Avoid tugging or pulling on your lashes to prevent losing your extensions quickly. You can use a gentle spoolie brush to remove tangles and spread out your lashes evenly. We also suggest sleeping on your back. If you find that difficult, get silk or satin pillowcases to avoid damaging friction on your lashes while you sleep.
4) Avoid Eye Makeup
When patients come to get lash extensions, they effortlessly augment your natural beauty like mascara and eyeliner would. But mascara and eyeliner, especially oil-based versions of these products, can eat away at the adhesive that holds your extensions to your lash line, causing them to fall out more quickly.
