4 Beauty Products to Avoid with Lash Extensions

Lash extensions are a long-lasting and glamorous alternative to traditional mascara, without the “fake” look of traditional strip lashes. To keep lash extensions looking their best in between fills, proper care is essential. In this guide, we'll discuss four products you should avoid while wearing lash extensions - plus a few of our recommendations on safe products you should be using.

1. Oil-Free Cleanser

Oil-based cleansers can break down the adhesive in your extensions, which can cause your lashes to fall off prematurely. Instead, opt for a gentle, oil-free cleanser to remove makeup and cleanse your face.

2. Waterproof Makeup

Waterproof mascara and eyeliner can be difficult to remove and may require oil-based removers to take off, which will break down your lash adhesive. Even using an oil-free remover, you may end up damaging your lashes simply by being too rough.

3. Eyelash Curler

Lash extensions are already curled, so there should be no need to use a curler. Using one may end up damaging both your natural lashes and your extensions, or could pull too hard and yank a few lashes out on accident.

4. Eye Cream

Before applying any eye cream, read the label carefully to make sure it is oil-free. If it is OK to use, still apply carefully, use a small amount, and avoid direct contact with the lash line.

Proper care is essential for maintaining the longevity and appearance of your lash extensions. By avoiding these products or only using them carefully, you can enjoy beautiful, fluttery lashes for weeks on end. Remember, a little care goes a long way in preserving the stunning effects of your lash extensions.

If you begin to lose fullness too soon, you can schedule an appointment to get them filled and back to looking as beautiful as ever!
