Section contentFirst 24-48 Hours (Most Important) Avoid water, steam, sweat, and moisture (no swimming, saunas, or hot showers directly on your face). No eye makeup, creams, or oils on or near your lashes. Don’t rub or touch your lashes. Sleep on your back if possible to avoid pressure or bending the lashes. Ongoing Care (After 48 Hours) Use a lash conditioner or nourishing oil (like castor oil) to keep lashes healthy. Brush them daily with a clean spoolie to keep them separated and lifted. Avoid waterproof mascara—it’s hard to remove and can weaken the lift. Be gentle when cleansing your face, especially around the eye area. No lash curlers! Your lashes are already curled—curlers can damage them.

Skip retinoids and active ingredients (e.g., retinol, AHA/BHA acids) for 3–5 days before your facial. Hold off on waxing or other facial treatments for at least 5–7 days before your appointment.

Let us know if you’re pregnant, on any medications, or have allergies or skin sensitivities. After your facial: Avoid heavy makeup for at least 24 hours to let your skin breathe and absorb treatment benefits.
