Are You (PROPERLY) Cleaning Your Lashes?
You’ve invested the time and money into getting beautiful lash extensions, make sure you capitalize on your investment and prolong your new look with the proper lash care and cleaning routine.
Dead skin, makeup and dirt build up along the lash line fairly easily. This build up causes premature shedding of your extensions by eating away at the adhesive. Properly cleaning your lashes can lead to greater lash retention and keep your new lashes looking as luxurious as possible for longer.
So how should you be cleaning your lashes?
Clean your lashes regularly (beginning after the 24 hour period it takes for your lashes to set post-install). This could mean daily if you wear a lot of makeup or have oily skin. Others may only need to clean their lashes every other day.
Use a quality foam cleanser for your lashes. Most regular facial cleansers contain acids and oils that can irritate your eyes and eat away at the adhesive. Keep makeup removers, face masks, face cloths, and cotton pads away from your lashes. Kreem Pink Box offers an antibacterial lash cleanser that not only promotes healthy lashes but also is gentle on the eyes.
Apply light pressure while cleaning. Although you do not need to baby your lashes, being too rough will cause premature shedding and defeat the purpose of your lash care routine.
Brush your lashes. A major perk of lash extensions is no longer needing to use mascara to achieve a voluminous look, but you should still brush your lashes. This will help clear away hairs that have shed as well as dirt and other build up in between cleaning.
Cleanliness is next to godliness. If you want to keep your lashes looking full and goddess-like, make sure you keep them clean and cared for.
