Congratulations on your stunning lash lift! Those beautifully curled lashes are sure to enhance your eyes and give you a radiant look. To ensure that your lash lift lasts longer and stays fabulous, it's crucial to follow a proper aftercare routine. In this guide, Nashville Lash & Brow expert Justine DiVanna will explore the essential steps and tips for maintaining your lash lift and keeping your lashes looking gorgeous.
1. Hands Off, Gorgeous:
After your lash lift, avoid touching or rubbing your eyes for the first 4 hours while the PH level of your lashes goes back to normal. You probably have heard time and time again not to get your lashes wet for 24 hours, but I will explain why this is just a myth. When getting a lash lift, disulfide bonds are broken to create a new shape. They can ONLY be broken by chemicals, not water or heat, therefore water will not affect your lash lift. I use lash cleanser & water to remove all of the solutions at the end of your lash lift appointment, so I promise you that water WILL NOT ruin your perfect lift!
2. Say No to Mascara (for now):
Hold off on applying mascara for at 24-48 hours post-lash lift as the lashes are still fragile. The curl and lift from the treatment are often sufficient to give your lashes a naturally defined appearance. When you do resume mascara use, opt for a water-based, lash-friendly formula.
3. Avoid Oil-Based Products:
Steer clear of oil-based makeup removers or cleansers around your eye area. These can break down the lash lift solution and compromise the longevity of the treatment. Instead, use a gentle, oil-free makeup remover if needed.
4. Comb and Shape Daily:
To keep your lashes perfectly coiffed, use a clean mascara wand or a lash comb to gently separate and shape your lashes daily. This will prevent any crisscrossing and help maintain the lifted look.
5. Skip the Curler:
You won't need an eyelash curler anymore! Avoid using one as it can disturb the lifted shape and potentially damage your lashes. Embrace the natural curl and enjoy the convenience of waking up to effortlessly beautiful lashes.
6. Condition with a Lash Serum:
Invest in a nourishing lash serum to keep your lashes healthy and strong. Applying a lash serum regularly can enhance the appearance of your lashes and contribute to their overall well-being. My favorite at home serum is the Beautiful Brows & Lashes DUO Brow & Lash InTOXXification. It works for both brows and lashes, and is super affordable! Click on this
