Lash Care For Oily Eyelids
DON’T let oily lids get in the way of having lush lashes! We’re talking tips on how to prevent oily eyelids, so your lashes stay fresh, full and fab!
What Causes Oily Lids
Prone to oily eyelids? (Don’t worry—this is a safe space. 😉) You’re not alone! If you’re wondering, “why do my eyelids get oily?”, we’ve got the answer to your question.
Oily eyelids are a common issue caused by the overproduction of sebum AKA the oil your skin naturally produces. Stress, hormones and genetics can all play a part in how much oil your skin produces. An overproduction of sebum, specifically on your eyelids, can impact your lash extensions (who wants that?!). Here’s how. ⬇️
Oily Eyelids and Lash Extensions Don’t Mix
Oily lids can feel bothersome AND get in the way of your lash look. Oily eyelids can cause:
- Poor lash retention: This is our lash stylists’ worst fear for you! Too much oil can weaken the adhesive bond attaching the extensions to your natural lashes, causing them to fall out earlier. ❌
- Clumpy lashes: Excess oil can cause your lashes to clump—another thing we DON’T want for you! 🙅♀️
Know the struggle? We’ve got step-by-step tips on how to reduce buildup—so oily lids don’t make your lashes slip!
Lash-Saving Tips For Oily Lids
Our #1 tip for oily eyelids? Cleansing your lashes daily (YES, daily)! 👀 This is an absolute must to prevent oil buildup. And not with any ordinary face cleanser, but with lash-friendly products! Here are the must-have items you should include in your routine:
💜 Gel Eye Makeup Remover
Love wearing makeup? The first step in your lash aftercare routine is washing it off before you catch some z’s. Apply half a pump of our Gel Eye Makeup Remover to one of our Lint-Free Wipes and gently wipe around your top and bottom lid lines to erase even the toughest eye makeup.
🫧 Lash Detox Foaming Cleanser
Use our bubbly lash cleanser to gently remove oil, dust, dirt—you name it! Our fave features? It contains 10 extracts for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial properties. All the good things to keep your lashes healthy!
BTW: We have two formulas! If you prefer unscented, go for our Unscented Lash Detox Foaming Cleanser. Adore a fresh scent? Grab our Tea Tree Scented Lash Detox Foaming Cleanser—it’s sooo soothing and smells DIVINE (ooh-la-la)! 💜
🌟 Lash Armor Protective Coating
Lastly, apply this special sealant to protect from dust, oils, sweat and all the other day-to-day grime you don’t wanna leave on your skin. This also gives your lashes longer retention AND lash regrowth benefits!
✨ Crystal Lash Wand
Psst! Another TIP: For some extra lash TLC, get our Crystal Lash Wand to brush through your beauties after you cleanse. This keeps your lashes clump-free!
