An eyelash lift can give you the appearance of longer, fuller lashes without the need for extensions or daily curling. Not only is this procedure low-maintenance, but it also lasts longer than extensions.
Here are the top five tips for maintaining your eyelash lift at home.
Avoid Water and Steam for the First 24-48 Hours
It’s important to avoid water, steam, and sweat for the first 24-48 hours after your treatment.
This is because your lashes need time to set into their new shape, and exposure to moisture can weaken the lifting solution and cause your lashes to revert to their natural state. After the initial 48 hours, it’s still a good idea to be cautious with excessive water exposure to prolong the life of your lash lift.
Use a Gentle, Oil-Free Cleanser
When cleaning your face and removing makeup, it’s important to use a gentle, oil-free cleanser.
Oil-based products can break down the lifting solution and shorten the lifespan of your lash lift.
Opt for a mild, water-based cleanser, and be gentle around your eye area. Avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously when washing your face. Instead, gently pat the area dry with a soft towel to prevent disturbing your lifted lashes.
Brush Your Lashes Daily
To keep your lifted lashes looking their best, make it a habit to brush them daily. Use a clean spoolie brush (often found on the end of a mascara wand) to gently comb through your lashes each morning. This will help to keep them separated and prevent them from clumping together.
Regular brushing also helps maintain the lift’s shape and keeps your lashes neat and defined.
Avoid Waterproof Mascara
While waterproof mascaras are convenient, it's best to avoid them if you want to maintain your lash lift. Waterproof formulas can be difficult to remove and often require harsh rubbing or oil-based removers, which can damage your lifted lashes. Instead, opt for a regular mascara or a water-based formula that is easier to remove. If you need mascara, apply it sparingly and focus on the tips of your lashes to avoid weighing them down.
Nourish Your Lashes
Consider incorporating a lash serum or conditioner into your nightly routine to keep your lashes healthy and strong. Look for products that contain ingredients like biotin, peptides, and vitamins, to promote lash growth and prevent breakage. Applying a lash serum can help extend your lift’s
life by keeping your natural lashes in good condition, providing a better foundation for the lift to hold.
Maintaining your eyelash lift at home doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With a little care and attention, your lifted lashes will look gorgeous and voluminous.
