To maintain optimum appearance and extend the life of your lashes, follow these tips & easy care instructions:
1. Avoid getting your lashes wet within the first 48 hours to allow the adhesive time to dry thoroughly.
2. We recommend sleeping on your back at night to ensure your lashes do not become tangled through out the night. In the morning, use a mascara brush to gently separate and groom your new lashes.
3. Avoid hot steam from the shower and sauna as well as swimming and tanning salons altogether for the first 48 hours. After this period try to keep sauna, steam room & tanning visits to a minimum as the application of constant heat may cause the adhesive bond to weaken.
4. Avoid using harsh mechanical eyelash curlers as they can break both natural and synthetic lashes. A heated eyelash curler can be used sparingly to help shape and curl lashes but really is not needed, ONLY use on the TIPS of the lashes. Do not apply heated eyelash curler to the base of the lashes where the lashes are bonded.
5. Avoid using any oil based cleansers on or near the eye area. Use an oil-free eye make-up remover. Do not use cotton balls, cotton rounds or swabs directly on the eyelashes as the fibers may get lodged in the bond area of your lashes.
6. Although mascara is not necessary with your eyelash extensions you can use it sparingly, on the tips only to achieve an even more dramatic look. Avoid using oil based or waterproof mascara as the ingredients in it will dissolve the bond of the adhesive.
7. Avoid using any oil based products on or near your lashes. Oil will dissolve the adhesive bond! Use water or gel based cosmetic products instead.
8. Above all, BE GENTLE! Do not pick or pull your lashes and refrain from excessively rubbing your eyes.
48hr Tips: Remember that the first 48 hours are especially crucial for the bonding to properly occur! Common activities you need to avoid during the first 48 hours include Steam (hot showers), washing the eyes, tanning, applying creams or lotions to the eye area, applying mascara or any eye make-up, excessively touching the lashes, spas, steam rooms, sauna, swimming, exercising, contact lens solutions and sleeping on the lashes.
