Proper aftercare is crucial for maximizing the longevity and look of your lash lift. Here's how to keep your lashes looking their best:
Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours):
- Avoid Water and Makeup: The most important step is to keep your lashes completely dry and free from makeup for at least 24-48 hours. This allows the lifting solution to fully set and prevents premature damage. This is critical for the lift's longevity.
Ongoing Lash Lift Care:
- Sleep Position: Sleeping on your back helps prevent your lashes from being crushed or deformed during the night, maintaining the lift's shape.
- Gentle Cleansing: Use only oil-free, gentle cleansers to wash your face. Avoid harsh scrubbing or rubbing near your eyes.
- Product Selection: Opt for oil-free makeup removers, serums, and other eye products. Oils can break down the lash lift solution, shortening its lifespan.
- Avoid Waterproof Mascara & Curlers: Skip waterproof mascara, as it's difficult to remove and can damage your delicate lifted lashes. Similarly, avoid eyelash curlers, as they can disrupt the lift's shape and potentially damage your lashes.
- Brushing: Gently brush your lashes daily with a clean lash brush to keep them separated and prevent tangling. This helps maintain the lift's appearance.
By following these simple steps, you can significantly extend the life of your lash lift and enjoy stunning, naturally lifted lashes for weeks. Remember, avoiding moisture and makeup in the initial period is key to success.
