Lash Care 101: How To Protect and Enhance Your Lashes Daily
Your lashes deserve the best care to stay long, full, and healthy. Whether you have natural lashes, lash extensions, or you’re using a lash serum to enhance your look, proper lash care is essential. Follow these expert tips to protect and enhance your lashes every day:
1. Never Pick or Pull at Your Lashes
It may be tempting, but picking or pulling at your lashes can cause them to fall out prematurely or lead to lash breakage. Whether you’re dealing with natural lashes or extensions, avoid any aggressive manipulation of the lashes to maintain their strength.
2. Avoid Touching Your Lashes With Your Hands
Our hands come in contact with a variety of germs and dirt throughout the day. Touching your lashes can transfer bacteria and oils, which may lead to irritation or damage. Be mindful not to touch your lashes, especially if you’ve just had a lash extension service.
3. Use a Silk Pillowcase
Switching to a silk pillowcase can help reduce friction while you sleep, which can prevent lashes from being pulled or broken. Silk is gentle on lashes and hair, allowing them to retain their natural beauty and strength.
4. Sleep on Your Back
While it may feel more comfortable to sleep on your side or stomach, this can cause your lashes to rub against your pillow and lose their shape. Sleeping on your back helps protect your lashes from friction and keeps them intact. It’s a small change that can have a big impact on the health of your lashes.
5. Use Revive7 Revitalizing Lash Serum
For enhanced lash growth and strength, incorporate Revive7 Revitalizing Lash Serum into your daily routine. This peptide-based formula helps to nourish and promote healthier, fuller lashes, without any of the side effects commonly associated with hormone-based lash serums.
6. Cleanse Your Lashes Daily with the CatEyeStrophic Lash Cleansing Kit
Maintaining clean lashes is key to keeping them healthy. Use the CatEyeStrophic Lash Cleansing Kit, available for purchase at your appointment, to gently cleanse your lashes every day. The kit includes lash shampoo, spoolies, and a cleansing brush, designed to remove dirt, makeup, and oil from your lashes without damaging them. Regular cleansing helps keep your lashes looking fresh and free of buildup.
7. Wet Your Lashes After a Lash Extension Service
You don’t need to wait 24 hours to wet your lashes after a lash extension service. Feel free to gently clean and wet your lashes after your service to help remove any residue from the application process and to maintain lash cleanliness.
8. Wash Your Lashes After Crying, Sweating, or Wearing Makeup
If you’ve cried, sweated, or worn makeup, it’s important to wash your lashes immediately. These activities can introduce oils or dirt to the lash extensions or natural lashes, so cleansing is essential to avoid buildup that can weaken the lashes.
9. Avoid Steam, Saunas, and Oil-Based Products Around the Eyes
Exposure to steam and heat can loosen lash extensions or cause natural lashes to become brittle. Similarly, oil-based products can break down adhesives and weaken lash extensions. Keep oils away from the delicate eye area, and skip the steam room to keep your lashes in great condition.
