CARE

If you want to get the most out of your eyelash extensions, it is important to properly care for them. EyeLash Candy extensions that are not properly cared for will fall out sooner and can even be the cause of irritation for the eyes. In order to maintain good care habits as well as lengthen the life of your extensions, it is important that you practice proper maintenance of your eyelash extensions. If you properly care for your extensions, they will likely remain in place until the natural lashes that hold them fall out.

The beauty of eyelash extensions is that they are fairly maintenance free. There is not a lot that needs to be done in order to keep them up. After all, they are just an extension of the natural lash. They are designed to enhance your eyes and add a thicker, fuller look to the eyelashes. If you follow a few simple rules, you will be able to easily maintain your lash extensions and keep them much longer.

Do not rub your eyes. Not only is rubbing your eyes harmful to the health of your eyes, but it can also rip your extensions out or remove your natural lashes (and the extensions bonded to them). Rubbing them can damage the look you have achieved by causing extensions to fall out sooner than they are meant to last.

Use an eyelash brush. Part of good maintenance is a neat appearance. Gently using an eyelash brush will help improve the look and length of the natural lashes as well as the lash extensions. Additionally, it will keep lashes and extensions from clumping or sticking together. You will receive a free brush with your EyeLash Candy extenstions.

Be careful of what other beauty products you use. Most people are so pleased with the look of their eyelash extensions that they do not feel that the use of mascara is warranted or necessary. However, it is possible to use mascara when you have extensions; it should be water based, but not waterproof. Waterproof mascara agents interfere with the adhesive used on semi permanent eyelash extensions and can cause the bonding solution to become weak, resulting in the falling out of your extensions. Additionally, oil-based beauty products should not be used around the eyes while you are wearing extensions. These will interfere with the bonding and cause the eyelash extensions to fall out.

Have a sealant applied after the procedure. One way to gain a protective extension coat is to have an eyelash extension sealant applied after the extension procedure is completed. A sealer will strengthen the bond and protect the extension against breakage. While not a necessary part of eyelash extension care, a sealant can contribute greatly to the longevity of your extensions. Ask your EyeLash Candy professional about this. An EyeLash Candy sealant application is included at no additional charge at the conclusion of each service.
With the proper attention to the care of your eyelash extensions, your lashes can look lush and beautiful in between fills. Call us today at 801.205.4660 to book an appointment.
