Eyelash Extension Aftercare for Skincare Lovers
This one’s for our skincare aficionados! Are you under the (common) misconception that lash extensions may prevent you from enjoying your beloved skincare products?
Best news: That simply isn’t true! 🙌
Read below to learn how to enjoy your favorite skincare products AND protect your beautiful lash extensions in Coppell …
First, Why Proper Skincare Matters for Your Lashes
Did you know that skincare IS a part of lash aftercare? Yep, it is because your skincare products get so close to your lash line—and some products even go on your lashes to remove makeup. This means that it’s so important to use skincare formulas and methods that protect your lashes when you have extensions.
Some products that aren’t lash extension-safe can prematurely break down your lash adhesive (AKA lash glue), causing your natural lashes and lash extensions to shed sooner than you’d like! 😱 Our motto here at The Lash Lounge Coppell – S. Denton Tap and Sandy Lake Rds.: You shouldn’t have to pick between skincare and keeping your extensions long and lush until your next lash-fill appointment. Both are possible!
How to Pair Skincare with Lash Extensions
When you have lash extensions, the best skincare products to use are those that are oil-free and water-based.
✨ Skincare + Extensions Safety Tip ✨: When using any products that may include oil or are water-based, avoid getting them too close to your eyes and lash line. This way you can keep up your skincare regimen with the products you like without hurting your extensions.
Want more tips? Here are 5 favorite skincare-with-lash-extensions tips:
1. Skip the oil
The truth is lash extensions and oil just don’t get along. So, when you’re doing your skincare routine, steer clear of oil-based products in general if you can. Trust us, your lash line will thank you! Another thing to know: Oil-free products are also great for your skin and will let your pores breathe easy. Win-win!
2. Practice gentle cleansing
When cleansing your face and near your eyes, be gentle around and near your lashes. When choosing the best face wash to use with lash extensions in TX, opt for an oil-free cleanser to avoid any residue build-up that could weaken your lash adhesive. Your extensions will stay put while your skin feels fresh and clean! A gentle touch on your skin will also protect your skin cells and help you avoid premature unwanted wrinkling. Don’t worry, we have recommended cleansing products for you below! 😉
3. Wear lash-friendly moisturizers
Hydration in TX is the key to glowing skin, but not all moisturizers play nice with lash extensions. Look for oil-free (can you tell we love oil-free products yet?!) and water-based moisturizers to keep your skin happy while preserving your lash look. We also suggest an oil-free eye cream that’s thicker and less likely to seep into your lash line. Another win-win for your face and lashes! 🌟
4. Choose the best sunscreens for lash lovers
Sunscreen is a must-have in any skincare routine, but let’s be careful around the eyes. When applying sunscreen to your face, shield those extensions. Pick a mineral-based sunscreen to protect your pores AND your lashes. ☀️
5. Follow these beauty sleep rules
Proper sleep is essential for healthy skin and eyelash extensions. Here’s how to protect your lashes while sleeping: Step 1—Sleep on your back to avoid any unnecessary lash squishing and to allow your skin to breathe vs. being smooshed on a pillow. Step 2—Get one of our 3D contoured sleep masks to keep your lashes from harm while in a deep sleep. This is especially good if you toss and turn while snoozing. When you do these two things, you’ll wake up refreshed with flawless skin AND lashes that are ready to slay the day!
