Here are some ways to safely remove eyelash extensions at home:
-
Use an oil-based remover: Soak a cotton pad or swab in oil-based makeup remover or other oil-based products such as coconut oil, castor oil, or vegetable oil. Close your eyes and gently swipe the cotton pad over your eyelashes, focusing on the areas with the eyelash extensions. Let the oil sit for a few minutes to help weaken the adhesive.
-
Use steam: Fill a large bowl of water with steaming-hot water. Place your face over it and cover your head with a towel to keep the steam in. Let it sit for a few minutes to loosen up the bond of the eyelash extensions glue. Repeat this process a few times.
-
Use a natural eyelash glue remover: Mix equal parts of baking soda and coconut oil to create a paste. Apply the paste to your eyelashes and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then, rinse it off with warm water.
-
Use a lash extension remover kit: You can purchase a lash extension remover kit that includes a gel or cream-based remover and applicators. Follow the instructions on the kit carefully.
Its important to be very careful when removing eyelash extensions at home, as youre working around the delicate area of your eyes. Avoid picking at your lashes and do not use tweezers. If you dont have a steady hand, you might drip products into your eye during the removal process. If you experience any irritation or discomfort, stop immediately and seek professional help.
