Aftercare is as important as the application process. The myth that your lashes can’t be re-wetted after you have eyelash extensions is simply that myth. You need to give your eyelash extensions a little love every day to keep them full and lush. It’s not as hard as you think to keep your lash extensions looking amazing! Continue reading to find out how to clean your lash extensions to keep them looking beautiful!

Improved Lash Retention

Eyelashes are not only beautiful but also protect our eyes. Eyelashes are crucial in protecting delicate eye areas by keeping dirt, dust, and other debris out of the eyes. Failure to clean your eyelashes regularly can cause damage to your extension adhesive, which can lead to premature lash fall. An effective lash-cleansing routine will improve lash retention and extend the life of your full, fluttery lashes.

Reduce the Risk of Infection

As we have already mentioned, lashes protect the eyes from dirt and bacteria. However, they can also prevent infection. Blepharitis refers to inflammation of the eyelids due to bacteria buildup in your skin and lashes. Blepharitis can cause your eyelids to become red, swollen, and painful. Blepharitis can also be a problem for your lashes and lash extensions. It can cause premature lash loss or even lash extension removal.

Wash your lashes every day to prevent blepharitis. This includes extensions or natural lashes. You can reduce the chances of getting an infection by regularly cleaning your lashes.
