Getting lash extensions is like slipping on your favorite pair of heels, suddenly, everything feels more glamorous. But just like with heels, a little extra care goes a long way. Proper lash extension aftercare will keep your lashes looking fuller, longer, and healthier. Here’s everything you need to know to protect your investment and keep those lashes flutter-worthy:

The Golden Rules of Lash Aftercare

1. Keep Them Dry for 24 Hours

After your appointment, avoid water, steam, or sweat for at least 24 hours. This gives the adhesive time to fully set so your extensions last.

2. Avoid Oils and Heavy Creams

Oil is lash adhesive’s biggest enemy. Stay away from oil-based cleansers, makeup removers, and creams around your eyes. Opt for oil-free products instead.

3. Brush Daily

Use a clean spoolie brush to gently comb your lashes each morning. This keeps them fluffy, separated, and picture-perfect.

4. Sleep Smart

Try to avoid sleeping face-down or with lashes pressed into your pillow. A silk pillowcase is a glamorous (and lash-friendly!) investment.

5. Be Gentle With Makeup

Mascara is usually unnecessary with lash extensions. If you must use it, choose a water-based formula and avoid waterproof mascara, it can damage the adhesive.

6. Cleanse Regularly

Wash your lashes 2–3 times a week with a lash-safe cleanser. This removes buildup from oils, dirt, and makeup while keeping your extensions fresh.

7. Don’t Pick or Pull

Resist the temptation to touch or tug at your lashes. Pulling on extensions can damage your natural lashes.

8. Book Regular Fills

To maintain a full, glamorous look, schedule lash fills every 2–3 weeks. This replaces any extensions that naturally shed and keeps your set looking brand new.

Why Aftercare Matters

Think of lash extensions as luxury accessories for your eyes. With the right care, they can last longer, stay fluffier, and protect your natural lashes underneath. Proper aftercare is the secret to keeping your investment looking fabulous.
