Taking care of your lashes between fills is essential to keep your set looking fresh, full, and healthy. Whether you're new to lash extensions or a seasoned lash lover, here are the top products to use — and which ones to avoid — if you want your extensions to go the distance:
Lash Extension-Friendly Products:
Oil-free cleanser (like micellar water): Keeps your lashes clean without breaking down the adhesive. Cleansing your lash line daily prevents buildup that can cause premature shedding or irritation.
Foaming lash shampoo: Specially formulated for extensions, this gentle foaming cleanser removes oils, makeup, and bacteria from the lash line while preserving retention.
Lash spoolie brush: Brushing daily keeps your extensions fluffy and untangled. Be gentle and always brush from the middle of the lash outward.
Silk pillowcase: A smooth pillowcase reduces friction while you sleep, helping your lashes (and skin!) stay in top shape.
Lash sealant: Adds a protective coat over the adhesive, helping your extensions stay on longer. We recommend applying a sealant every 3–4 days.
🚫 Products to Avoid:
Oil-based cleansers or eye makeup removers: These break down the adhesive and lead to early lash loss.
Waterproof mascara: Not only is it unnecessary (you have lashes!), but it’s difficult to remove and can damage the extensions.
Cotton pads or swabs around the eyes: Fibers can get tangled in your extensions and pull them out.
Heavy eye creams near the lash line: These often contain oils that migrate and weaken the bond.
Pro Tip:
Consistency is everything. The more intentionally you care for your extensions, the longer they’ll last and the healthier your natural lashes will remain. We also recommend keeping your products minimal and lash-safe — sometimes less is more.
