Aftercare

Avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, hot tubs, or steam treatments for at least 24-48 hours. Wear loose, breathable clothing to minimize friction and irritation. Skip intense workouts or activities that cause excessive sweating, as sweat can irritate freshly waxed skin. Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools for at least 24-48 hours, as chlorine can irritate the skin. Refrain from scratching or touching the waxed area with unwashed hands, as this can lead to irritation or infection. Avoid sunbathing, tanning beds, or fake tans, as the skin is more sensitive after waxing. Avoid exfoliating the waxed area for the first few days after waxing. Wash the waxed area gently with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser. After a few days, gently exfoliate the waxed area to help prevent ingrown hairs. Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and supple. Apply a cold compress to soothe any redness or irritation. Use antiseptic creams or lotions specifically designed for post-wax care. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.

For the first 24-48 hours, avoid getting your lashes wet, including showering, swimming, or using saunas or steam rooms. Refrain from using oil-based makeup removers, cleansers, or eye creams, as they can break down the lift. Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes, as this can damage the lashes and undo the lift. Do not use eyelash curlers, as they can damage the lashes and disrupt the lift. Avoid applying mascara for at least 24 hours, or longer if recommended by your technician. Avoid applying false lashes or lash extensions for at least 24 hours. Sleep on your back for the first few nights to prevent crushing your lashes. Cleanse your lashes gently with a lash-friendly cleanser. Use a soft lash brush to comb through your lashes daily to maintain their neat appearance. Consider using a lash serum or conditioner to nourish and hydrate your lashes. Follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your lash lift technician. Allow the lift to fully set before applying mascara or other products.

Pay attention to posture: Maintain good posture to reinforce the benefits of the massage. Take a warm bath or shower: This can further relax muscles and soothe any soreness. Listen to your body: Pay attention to any discomfort or fatigue and adjust your activities accordingly. Consider Aromatherapy: Aromatherapy can enhance the relaxing and therapeutic effects of a massage.

Avoid saunas, steam rooms and hot steamy showers for 24 hours after the eyelash extension treatment, as this can affect the adhesive bond on the lash and risk poor lash retention. Do not rub the eyes or pull extensions. This will damage, not only the eyelash extensions, but the natural lashes too! It will also lead to poor retention. Avoid direct heat such as standing in front of a hot oven etc. Clients who smoke - be careful around lighters as the PBT fibre in eyelash extensions is extremely sensitive to heat. Avoid oil-based products. We don’t only mean mascara, but oil-based face moisturiser, cleanser, and any other makeup near the eye area. Any oil-based product will affect the adhesive bond of the lashes, so make sure to keep it water-based for now. Avoid mascara at all costs. If you have lash extensions, you must avoid mascara altogether (even water-based ones) as not only can it affect the shape of your beautiful fans, it can potentially damage your extensions, as well as your natural lashes due to the excess weight.

Make sure to get regular infills every 2-3 weeks - this is a must if you want to keep your lashes looking gorgeous for longer, and in great condition

Be especially careful in the first 24 hours after application and avoid intense heat during this period (for example saunas, hot baths, sunbeds etc) Use cuticle oil daily to keep your nails nourished, to stimulate growth and prevent lifting. Dry the hands thoroughly after washing and apply moisturiser. Always wear rubber gloves when washing up, cleaning or gardening. Always wash your hands thoroughly after being in contact with chlorine, insect repellent or sunscreen. Wear gloves when cooking with spices such as turmeric or curry powders as they can stain the nails. Dye from new jeans or newly colour hair can also stain gel polish. Always return to the salon for maintenance and removal and follow any advice given to you by your nail technician. Avoid using your nails as tools as this could lead to cracking. Instead use the pads of your fingers (for example typing). Avoid long periods of time in water (for example long baths, swimming, washing up etc). Avoid picking or peeling the product off as this could damage your natural nails. Avoid filing your nails and pushing your cuticles back, as this will break the seal of the gel and can lead to chipping.
