After Care Instructions Eyelash Extensions

There is a 24 hour cure period! Avoid water and steam coming in contact with eyes after application.

After application you are able to do most anything you would normally with some exceptions. In order to help the eyelash extensions last it is important to care for your lashes properly.

  • After wetting lashes, blow-dry them on a low/cool setting from underneath while gently brushing them in an upward motion.
  • Clean the lashes daily to ensure no residual makeup is left on.
  • When it comes to makeup LESS is more.
  • Only use NON waterproof mascara (Xtreme Lashes mascara available for purchase)
  • Only apply mascara to the TIPS of your lashes, do not get the mascara at the base as it will weaken the adhesive bond.
  • Only use oil free/mild soap to wash your face..(Cetaphil is a preffered face wash)
  • Be aware that facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and other facial treatments will affect the lash extensions bond.
  • Spray tanning is not advised as the oil is a solvent and will wear down the extension glue.
  • Only use oil FREE eye makeup removers (Xtreme Lashes Eye makeup remover available for purchase) *** If possible only use Q-tip and water to remover eye shadow and eye liner
  • Do not get lotions or oil on your lashes
  • Sleep on back if possible
  • Avoided rubbing eye area with fingers
  • Do NOT use mechanical eyelash curlers
  • If you swim or frequent steam room wearing goggles is strongly advised
  • Crying does wear down the glue quickly so be aware of that
  • Hot yoga is ok, however wearing a sweat band and/or rinsing the eyelashes with fresh water afterwards is suggested

**Overall the more you leave the lashes alone and keep them clean and away from solvents the longer they will last.

Microblading Aftercare Microblading Post Care

  • Keep the brow area clean by using a natural fragrance free gel cleanser and water. (Dial Gold) hands must be freshly clean and avoid using abrasive washcloths or sponges
  • Allow eyebrows to completely air dry before applying ointment
  • Apply after care ointment given (by artist) for a week 3 times a day with freshly washed hands
  • DO NOT RUB,PICK OR SCRATCH THE TREATED AREA. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate
    (Picking can cause infection, scarring and pigment loss!
  • COMPLETELY AVOID direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 4 weeks after procedure. Direct sunlight can cause pigment to change colors while it is healing and cause hyper pigmentation and scarring
  • Avoid Pools, Sauna, steam rooms, hot showers and hot baths for 3 weeks
  • Avoid sweating for a full 10 days. Any physical effort, gym, hot weather, any other activities that may cause sweating though or on the brows will expel pigment from the dermis producing poor results
  • Avoid sleeping on face/brows for the first 10 days
  • Keep your bangs and hair pulled back from brows for the first 10 days
  • NO makeup or skincare products to be used on the treated area for 2 weeks
  • NO facials, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks
  • After 10 days once the area has healed completely, consider using sunblock when going out in the sun to stop the color from fading
  • Eyebrow tinting should not be undertaken for 4 weeks after your procedure
  • Avoid Retin-A, chemical peels and microderms around the brows area once healed

NOTE: Eyebrows will appear darker and bolder due to natural scabbing and healing for the first 2 weeks. This is very common for all permanent cosmetic procedures
