To clean lash extensions, it is important to use a gentle cleanser that wont break down the adhesive used to keep the extensions in place. Here are some tips on how to clean lash extensions:
- Avoid wearing mascara or eyeliner.
- Use an oil-free makeup remover.
- Dont use cotton pads.
- Use a protective after-cleanse.
- Use a brush to clean the lash extensions.
The best cleanser for lash extensions would either be a dedicated lash extension cleanser or oil-free micellar water. A lash shampoo designed specifically for lash extensions is formulated to cleanse the eye area gently, without stinging the eyes or irritating the skin. The cleansing agents in them are chosen specifically with extensions in mind, so they won’t weaken your lash adhesive. You can also use a bar of dove soap or a basic baby wash mixed with baking soda and distilled water.
When cleaning lash extensions, it is important to be gentle and avoid rubbing them with vigor. Use clean fingers or a spoolie brush to gently clean extensions. Use only lint-free cleansing sponges and applicators when you clean lash extensions. Cotton squares or Q-Tips can tug at the lash attachment area and deposit fibers and lint on the lash attachment area, resulting in premature lash loss.
It is recommended to clean lash extensions every day to remove sweat, dust, and debris that come into contact with lash extensions every day.
