How do you take care of tinted eyelashes?

To properly care for tinted eyelashes, focus on protecting them, particularly in the initial period after tinting. Here's a comprehensive guide:

Initial 24-48 Hours: Crucial Care

Avoid Water and Steam: For the first 24 to 48 hours, keep your lashes completely dry. The tint needs this time to fully set. According to the reference, it's vital to avoid water, steam, and excessive humidity during this period to ensure the tint adheres well and lasts longer. This includes:
- Avoiding showers or baths.
- Skipping saunas and steam rooms.
- Being cautious when washing your face.

Once the initial setting period is over, maintain your tinted lashes by implementing these practices:

Gentle Cleansing: Use an oil-free makeup remover and cleanser. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing your eyes harshly, as this can fade the tint prematurely.
Avoid Oil-Based Products: Oil-based cleansers and makeup removers can break down the lash tint. Stick to oil-free options to preserve the color.
No Mascara (Optional): While you can still use mascara, consider skipping it to prolong the life of your tint, especially if you want a very natural look. If you do use mascara, select a non-waterproof, oil-free formula.
Minimize Rubbing: Try not to rub your eyes excessively. This habit can cause the tint to fade faster and may also lead to lash breakage.
Use a Lash Serum (Optional): A lash serum can promote healthy lash growth. However, choose a formula that's compatible with tinted lashes.
