What you need to know about eyelash care
Glued eyelashes require careful handling and, if the rules are followed, they can last for more than a month.
It is recommended to touch the eyelashes with your fingers as little as possible to avoid deformation and loss.
Stock up on special water-based makeup removers – creamy greasy textures and oils dissolve the glue.
In order for the result to please you as long as possible, you should abandon the bath for a while: due to the high temperature and high humidity, the cilia may come off ahead of time. Or choose a gentle temperature regime in the steam room.
After the first procedure, an individual reaction to the glue is possible – the eyes turn red, but after a couple of hours this should go away. The rest of the eyelashes should not cause inconvenience, hurt, prick, interfere with the look. If this is observed, urgently contact the master.
Another limitation after eyelash extension is that you cannot wash your face for several hours (from 5 to 12). Water should not come into contact with the face and eyes, as the fixer should be allowed to dry thoroughly. Although its composition improves every year, and it takes less and less time for the glue to harden. The newest formulas with improved formulas work so quickly that within 5-10 minutes after the artist has finished attaching the artificial hairs, a few drops of water can be applied to the eye. This is done in order to wash off the ether of the glue that negatively affects the cornea of the eye.
You will have to reconsider the care of the skin around the eyes, choose creams that are compatible with eyelash extensions.
If going to the sea, be aware that the salt water will speed up the shedding of attached lashes. Take care to protect your eyes as much as possible from the sun and sea spray.
How to keep hygiene afterwards?
The master will tell the basic rules for the care of extended eyelashes. Many people think that water treatments are prohibited. But this is a delusion! If you do not wash, then the space between the eyelashes is clogged with the remnants of makeup, the secretion of the sebaceous glands, and small particles of dust. And this can provoke inflammation of the bulb and loss of the cilium.
therefore eyelash care at home requires regular… By the way, for home procedures you will need:
micellar water;
cotton swabs and discs;
paper cosmetic napkins;
brush for combing eyelashes.
How to properly wash your face with extended eyelashes?
step. Rinse your face with water at room temperature, but not hot. Ideally, with extended eyelashes, washing should be with filtered water. From the tap, water of poor quality, chlorinated, not cleared of lime, may come. This negatively affects the artificial hairs (they lose their shine) and the sticky substance. Therefore, you should not do eyelashes if you regularly swim in a pool with chlorinated water.
step. Apply oil-free makeup remover to your fingers – gel, foam – and gently massage into your face. On the eyelids, gently, without pressure, apply the product along the lash line. Soap, even cosmetic, cannot be used – alkali and fat in its composition also destroy the glue.
step. To remove eye makeup, use a special eye makeup remover for extended lashes. Micellar water is well suited for these purposes. It must be applied to a cotton pad and blotted the eyelid. Do this carefully, using cotton swabs to remove residues in the corners of the eyes or along the lash line. Then apply the foam and rinse your face with water.
step. Rinse your face with water, rinsing off any remaining cleanser. Avoid exposure to strong water pressure while showering.
step. Blot your face with paper towels without touching your eyelashes. You can, of course, use a soft towel, but it can easily touch your eyelashes. It is best for the moisture to be absorbed naturally.
step. When the eyelashes are completely dry, they need to be combed with a brush. Close your eye and move it from top to bottom along the hairs. Open your eye and, with a light touch, brush upward, as if rounding them. You cannot do this with wet eyelashes.
Can I dye my eyelashes with mascara?
The face and eyes, after the appearance of a lush row of eyelashes, are transformed, become more expressive. And many people do not need to make a make-up. And if you are used to paint your eyes, then make sure that the cosmetics are non-greasy. This is especially true for the base under the shadow and some types of shadows.
And remember that you will have to remove makeup from your eyelids as carefully as without eyelash extensions. Mascara can come in handy two weeks after the procedure, when the hairs become less frequent, because some of the eyelashes will fall out. This is a natural process. In order to make the eyelashes smoother and fuller before correction by a specialist, mascara will come in handy.
