Do lash cleansers really work?
Do lash cleansers really work? That’s a question that has been on the minds of many women who wear eyelash extensions. Can you really trust those little bottles of cleansing solution to get your lashes clean without damaging them?
Washing your lashes regularly with a foaming lash cleanser will help to increase the longevity of your lash extensions.
Lash shampoos typically have a very light, gentle formula that is safe for use on your lashes and will not strip away the natural oils that keep your lashes healthy.
Here are some tips on how to use lash shampoo:
-Wet a small amount of lash shampoo onto your lash brush and apply it to your lashes, being careful not to get any in your eyes.
-Gently massage the lash shampoo into your lashes, using the bristles to work it into the base of the lash where dirt and makeup can build up.
-Rinse the lash shampoo off with lukewarm water and pat your lashes dry with a clean towel or you may like to grab a lash fan from amazon.
-Repeat this process every day or as often as needed to keep your lashes clean and looking their best.
Cleaning your lashes will give you better retention and will ultimately save you time and money at your future appointments. Another positive is that your lash technician is going to love you! They’re going to have a smooth, clean application for your lashes.
If you are using a lash cleanser that is not formulated for lash extensions, stop! You could be causing damage to your lashes that will lead to them falling off prematurely.
What else you should know about lash extensions is:
-They are semi-permanent and will last anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks with proper care.
-You should not get them wet for the first 24 hours after application to allow the adhesive to properly set.
-Be careful when using oil-based products around your eye area as they can break down the adhesive bond and cause your lash extensions to fall off prematurely.
-Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes excessively as this can also lead to damage and loss of lash extensions.
If you’re still not convinced that you need to be using a lash cleanser, consider this: by not using one, you are more likely to experience lash loss and breakage, which means you’ll have to get your lash extensions filled more often. So save yourself some time and money in the long run by investing in a good lash shampoo and making it part of your regular lash care routine. Your lashes will thank you for it!
