After care for Eyelash Extensions

Following the application of Eyelash Extensions the extensions should not be exposed to water for a 12-24 hour period. When washing the face becareful as not to splash water or cleanser in the eye area. There should be no swimming, hot tubs or steam rooms for the first 12-24 hours.

After the first 12-24 hours there is no harm in getting them wet or swimming, hot tubs or steam rooms.

There are some things that cannot be done at all while the lashes are on. Avoid applying any moisturizers, eye creams or eye makeup removers to the lashes. Any cosmetic product that contains glycol, organic solvents, urea or high concentrations of alcohol should be avoided. These products can breakdown the adhesive bond, shortening the duration of the lashes. Rubbing the eyes and eyelash curlers should also be avoided.

There is an approved NovaLash mascara that is safe to use on the lashes that will not break down the bonding of the adhesive. Waterproof mascara should not be used. Repeated use of even approved mascara may shorten the lifespan of the Eyelash Extensions.
