An eyelash lift can give you the appearance of longer, fuller lashes without the need for extensions or daily curling. Not only is this procedure low-maintenance, but it also lasts longer than extensions.
Here are the top five tips for maintaining your eyelash lift at home. Avoid Water and Steam for the First 24-48 Hours It’s important to avoid water, steam, and sweat for the first 24-48 hours after your treatment. This is because your lashes need time to set into their new shape, and exposure to moisture can weaken the lifting solution and cause your lashes to revert to their natural state. After the initial 48 hours, it's still a good idea to be cautious with excessive water exposure to prolong the life of your lash lift. Use a Gentle, Oil-Free Cleanser When cleaning your face and removing makeup, it’s important to use a gentle, oil-free cleanser. Oil-based products can break down the lifting solution and shorten the lifespan of your lash lift. Opt for a mild, water-based cleanser, and be gentle around your eye area. Avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously when washing your face. Instead, gently pat the area dry with a soft towel to prevent disturbing your lifted lashes. Brush Your Lashes Daily To keep your lifted lashes looking their best, make it a habit to brush them daily. Use a clean spoolie brush (often found on the end of a mascara wand) to gently comb through your lashes each morning. This will help to keep them separated and prevent them from clumping together. Regular brushing also helps maintain the lift's shape and keeps your lashes neat and defined. Avoid Waterproof Mascara While waterproof mascaras are convenient, it's best to avoid them if you want to maintain your lash lift. Waterproof formulas can be difficult to remove and often require harsh rubbing or oil-based removers, which can damage your lifted lashes. Instead, opt for a regular mascara or a water-based formula that is easier to remove. If you need mascara, apply it sparingly and focus on the tips of your lashes to avoid weighing them down. Nourish Your Lashes Consider incorporating a lash serum or conditioner into your nightly routine to keep your lashes healthy and strong. Look for products that contain ingredients like biotin, peptides, and vitamins, to promote lash growth and prevent breakage. Applying a lash serum can help extend your lift's life by keeping your natural lashes in good condition, providing a better foundation for the lift to hold. Maintaining your eyelash lift at home doesn't have to be a daunting task. With a little care and attention, your lifted lashes will look gorgeous and voluminous.

Before you go and pluck out those hard earned eyelash extensions please do yourself a favor and review these professional tips and tricks to avoid some serious damage to your natural eyelashes. Eyelash Extensions are wonderful to fellow lash lovers until it sadly comes to their removal.
Truth is after the first three to four weeks eyelash extensions can go through a strange transition period when most of your lash extensions have already fallen off and been replaced by your natural, shorter lashes but there are still a few long, misplaced stragglers hanging on. It's at this time that you'd usually: 1. get infills to make them fluffy and fresh again or 2. have them professionally removed And while we highly recommend not removing them yourself for fear of damaging your natural lashes, if you're going to do it despite our advice, or while in quarantine, we thought we might as well provide you with the safest option possible. Here's what you'll need:
Step-by-step for removing eyelash extensions at home: Step Number 1: Remember how your Lash Glaminator told you not to use oil-based products near your eyes? This is because it breaks down the adhesive. To start your removal process, soak a cotton pad in your oil-based eye makeup remover and gently press onto each (closed) eye for a good 30 seconds, focusing the pressure near the lash line. You will want to saturate the area as much as possible, without causing irritation. Step Number 2: Next, apply more oil. Dip a cotton bud into your choice of coconut or olive oil, and then apply it to the lash line rubbing gently back and forth. Keep the focus on where the glue sits on your eye. At this moment, you may have one or two false lashes that come away with the cotton bud. Step Number 3: Soak a cotton pad in the same oil from step two, and press it against your lash line with your eye closed. Then, very gently, rub the cotton pad back and forth continuously. Step Number 4: Every now and then, remove the cotton pad and you should see some of your lash extensions have come off. Depending on how strong your lash extension glue is, you may have to repeat step three multiple times on each eye to get every last lash. Patience is key here. Step Number 5: Once all the lashes are removed, soak a cotton pad in micellar water and run it over each eye to remove all the oil. Step Number 6: Finish with a soothing eye cream or serum to calm the skin after so much rubbing. Step Number 7: Apply an eyelash serum to help rejuvenate your lashes after the trauma and frtiction of removing your lash extensions.
