So you already know to avoid showering and washing your face within the first 48 hours, basically anything that could get your lashes wet. The same rule applies to sweat. Sweating within 48 hours of getting your lashes applied can affect retention. If you must exercise that day, choose an activity that doesn't cause you to sweat/heat up and that doesn't require showering after, like regular yoga or walking.
Exercising is such a big part of many people's lives. Whether you love to swim, run, lift weights, dance, etc., it's always good to look glam while getting your sweat on! Eyelash extensions keep you looking flawless while you're sweating it out in the gym. But, all the sweat and water can damage your lashes
Before your workout, cleanse your lashes with an oil-free extension safe cleanser to get rid of any pre-existing oil, makeup, etc. You don't want an excess of oils and sweat, on top of anything you had on your lashes or face before like make up. During your workout, use a headband when you're hitting the gym or working up a sweat. This will prevents sweat from dripping into your eyes. You can exercise as usual, however please note the bond of the extensions weaken with excessive sweat and oils, therefore those who engage in high cardio workout ,as well as hot yoga will notice a compromise in the life of the extensions. After your workout, cleanse your lashes with an oil-free eyelash extension safe cleanser again. It is important to clean your lashes after a workout because the salt and residue from sweat should not sit on your lashes. Having that residue on your lashes effects retention and breaks down adhesive. Always keep it clean!
This doesn't mean that Eyelash Extensions aren't good for people who engage in those exercises, it just means they may require touch-ups more often than those who don't engage in those exercises.
