Water can damage the lash extensions or cause them to become loose so for the first two days and definitely for the first day, you need to avoid getting them wet. This means that you should not go into a spa or a steam room. You should also avoid pools, hot tubs, and extreme face washing. You may also want to avoid taking a hot, steamy shower for a day or two.
Here are a few tips to help you keep those lashes dry:
- Wear goggles to the shower. As silly as that may sound, wearing goggles will help keep your extensions dry while allowing you to shower.
- If the idea of wearing goggles to the shower does not seem appealing, avoid direct contact between your extensions and the water from the shower. Don’t submerge your face in the shower stream. You can wash your face before or after your shower. Dont EVER wash your lashes in the shower!
- When washing your face, use cotton pads with your favorite facial cleanser to remove makeup, dirt and oil. This will allow you to avoid getting your extensions wet.
- To remove eyeliner without wetting your extensions, you should use Q-Tips and a bit of an oil-free makeup remover. Gently swipe the Q-Tip along the eyeliner line and away from the lash extensions. Repeat until the makeup is removed. Then wash with your cleanser afterwards to make sure all makeup is gone.
