Why is it so important to keep your lash extensions clean?

8/9/2019

One of the questions we get asked most often is ‘how do I clean my lashes?’ Cleaning your lashes is the number one thing you should do once you get lash extensions, and here's why:
  1. Your lashes will last longer, period. 
  2. You won't get infections.
  3. You won't get lash mites (yes, this is a thing) that feed on oil and dead skin.
  4. If your lashes are clean when it's time for your fill you'll get more time having your lashes filled and less time having them cleaned by your lash tech. 
After having lashes for some time, you can be forgiven for becoming more forgetful at cleaning your lashes. However, it's something that you really must keep up with. If your retention is great, you forget to clean them. If they always look clean, you forget to clean them. And of course, life gets in the way, and you forget to clean them.
But sometimes the dirt, dust, debris, dead skin and oil is not visible to you. 

How to clean your lashes
  1. Use the sink, not the shower so that you can control the water temperature. 
  2. Using a disposable lipstick applicator and a non-oil based makeup remover, gently clean horizontally along the lash line first. Never rub back and forth as this will be too abrasive on the lash extensions. You can purchase lash cleansing solutions but I always find makeup remove and warm water does the trick. 
  3. Rinse off with warm water.
  4. Next clean the lashes themselves in a gentle downward motion over the eyelid with the same applicator.
  5. Rinse off with warm water until all product is removed. 
  6. Use a clean mascara wand to comb through the lashes to get them back into the correct position.
  7. Let the lashes air dry.
  8. Brush through your lashes one last time with a mascara wand to separate and fluff!​
