How to Take Care of Your Eyelash Extensions

So, you've just had your lash extensions applied by iLashes By JKay, and they look amazing! But now what? Proper aftercare is essential for maintaining your lash extensions' lifespan and ensuring they look their best for as long as possible. Here are some tips from iLashes By JKay on how to take care of your lash extensions.

• Avoid Water and Steam

For the first 24 to 48 hours after your lash extensions are applied, avoid getting them wet or exposing them to steam. This means no swimming, saunas, or hot showers during this time. Water or steam can weaken the adhesive and cause the extensions to fall out prematurely.

• Be Gentle When Cleansing

When you do start washing your face, be gentle around your eye area. Avoid using oil-based products or cleansers that contain glycols or solvents, as these can break down the adhesive. Instead, use a gentle, water-based cleanser and avoid rubbing or pulling on your lash extensions.

• Brush Your Lashes Regularly

Brushing your lashes regularly with a clean spoolie or lash brush helps keep them looking neat and prevents them from tangling. Brush them gently in a downward motion, starting at the base and working your way to the tips. Do this once or twice a day to keep them looking their best.

• Avoid Mascara

One of the great things about lash extensions is that you don't need to wear mascara. In fact, mascara can damage your lash extensions and make them fall out prematurely. If you must wear mascara, use a water-based mascara and apply it only to the tips of your lashes.

• Don't Pull or Pick at Your Lash Extensions

As tempting as it may be, resist the urge to pull or pick at your lash extensions. This can cause damage to both your natural lashes and the extensions. If you need to remove any stray lashes, use a clean spoolie to gently brush them away.

• Maintain Regular Appointments

To keep your lash extensions looking their best, it's important to schedule regular appointments for fills. At iLashes By JKay, we recommend scheduling fills every two to three weeks. This ensures that your lash extensions remain full and in good condition.

In conclusion, proper aftercare is essential for maintaining your lash extensions and keeping them looking their best. Follow these tips from iLashes By JKay to ensure your lash extensions stay in great condition for as long as possible.
