After your beautiful set of eyelash extensions are applied, you will often hear your lash stylist telling you not to get them wet for 24 hours and to avoid touching them unnecessarily.  This is to allow enough time for the adhesive to fully dry/cure and to avoid premature fallouts.

However, some ladies take this advice too far and hardly ever get their lashes wet, nor wash them (yuk!)!

We often see clients with build up of glug (dead skin, oils, make up residue) on their lash line, which not only is unhygienic, but also takes away from your allocated appointment time for applying lashes as time is wasted cleaning your lashes instead. Clogged lash follicles can also mean weaker natural lashes growing through, higher risk of infections and sensitivities developing towards products, and shorter life of extensions as oil build up on the lashes causes the extensions to fall out sooner. With that, today’s post will be about how to clean your eyelashes properly and recommended cleansers for doing so.

At Tokyo Lashes, we strongly recommend foaming or lathering cleansers over wipes or liquid removers using cotton pads and tips. Why? The lint fibres from cotton tips and pads often get stuck in the lashes and can pull out the extensions. Using your hands and fingers will avoid this. Secondly, whilst they do a good job of removing the make up off the eyelid, they never get deep enough to cleanse the lashline thoroughly.

Some oil free foaming cleansers recommended are:

-Baby shampoo

-Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser

-Sterilid (available from pharmacists)

-QV wash

-Dermaveen

-Effaclar by La Roche-Posay (available from Priceline)

Method:

Wet your face with lukewarm water. Put a small dollop of the cleanser on your hand and work into a lather. Alternatively, use a foam pump (available from Daiso) with pre-diluted solution.

Using your fingertips, work the foam right into the lashline.

Rinse with lukewarm water.

Pat dry and allow lashes to dry naturally.

Once lashes are dry, the mascara wand given can be used to gently brush and groom the lashes.

This ‘washing of lashes’ does not need to be an added step in your skincare routine. If you are happy to use the products listed above on the rest of your face, this can be incorporated into your daily face wash routine. It can be done in the shower (just don’t put your face directly under the shower stream) or over a sink. Do this everyday or every second day at minimum, and always make sure they’re squeaky clean before every lash appointment. It really couldn't be any more simple.

Keeping Your Eyelash Extensions Clean

Keeping Your Eyelash Extensions Clean

Once your stylist has put the final few finishing touches on your new eyelash extensions, they will usually tell you not to get them wet for 24 hours or to touch them unnecessarily. This is only so that you can allow enough time for the adhesive to dry properly and avoid premature fallout of your new lashes. However, some people tend to take this advice a little too far in that they never ever get their lashes wet or even wash them.

Why Lash Cleaning is Important

Our stylists often see patients with a severe build-up of make-up residue, oil and/or dead skin cells along their lash lines. This is not only severely unhygienic; it takes time away from your allocated appointment for applying lashes because a lot of time has to be spent cleaning instead of applying. In addition, clogged lash follicles can result in your natural lashes growing through weaker than they should, and you could be putting yourself at a higher risk for sensitivities and infections as well. This will in turn shorten the lifespan of your extensions because the oil build-up on them will cause them to fall out sooner than they should.

Here at Eyelash Extensions Melbourne, our stylists strongly recommend that lathering or foaming cleansers be used instead of wipes or liquid removers that require cotton tips or pads to apply. The reason for this is that lint fibers from cotton pads and tips tend to get stuck in the lashes and they can pull your extensions out. Using your fingers instead will prevent this from happening. Additionally, while wipes and cotton tips may be great for removing make-up off your eyelids, they are not able to clean the area around the lash line completely.

Below is a list of foam-based cleaning products that are recommended by our stylists:

  • Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser
  • Baby shampoo
  • QV Wash
  • Sterilid
  • Dermaveen
  • Effaclar by La Roche-Posay

How to Clean your Lashes

Start off by wetting your face with warm water. Place a small amount of cleanser on your hand and work it into lather. If desired, you can use a foam pump with pre-diluted cleansing solution instead. Work the foam into your lash line by using your fingertips and once finished, rinse off with warm water. Pat the area dry and allow your lashes to air dry. Once your lashes are completely dry, you can brush them gently with the mascara wand that was supplied to you when they were applied.

Cleansing of your lash extensions doesn’t need to be an extra step in your daily skincare routine. When using any of the above mentioned cleansers, you can simply clean the mat the same time you wash your face. It’s recommended that you cleanse your lash extensions every second day at least, as this will help ensure that they are kept clean and ready for your next lash appointment and it will prevent infection from occurring in or around your eyes.
