Summer is here, bringing sunshine, beach days, and poolside relaxation! While you enjoy the warm weather, it’s important to take special care of your lash extensions to keep them looking fabulous all season long. Here are some essential tips for maintaining your lash extensions during the hot summer months.
1. Avoid Direct Sunlight
Excessive exposure to the sun can weaken the adhesive used for your lash extensions, causing them to fall out prematurely. When you're out and about, wear sunglasses or a wide-brimmed hat to protect your lashes from direct sunlight.
2. Stay Away from Heat
High temperatures from saunas, steam rooms, and even hot showers can break down the lash adhesive. If you enjoy these activities, try to keep them to a minimum or opt for cooler alternatives.
3. Limit Water Exposure
Saltwater and chlorine can also weaken the adhesive, leading to lash loss. When swimming, consider wearing goggles to protect your lashes. After swimming, rinse your lashes with fresh water to remove any salt or chlorine residue.
4. Keep Them Clean
Sweat and oils can build up on your lashes during the summer. Clean your lash extensions regularly with a lash-friendly cleanser to prevent any buildup that could affect their longevity. Be gentle and avoid rubbing your eyes.
5. Avoid Oil-Based Products
Oil-based products, such as sunscreens and moisturizers, can break down the adhesive used for lash extensions. Opt for oil-free products to protect your lashes and keep them looking their best.
6. Use a Lash Sealer
A lash sealer can provide an extra layer of protection for your lash extensions. It helps to lock in the adhesive and protect against moisture and oils. Apply it as recommended by your lash technician for optimal results.
7. Brush Your Lashes Daily
Use a clean, dry spoolie brush to gently comb through your lash extensions every day. This helps to keep them looking neat and prevents tangling.
