In Texas, we are all listening to the latest news and updates about COVID-19. Everyone is ready to be back in business but we also want our community to stay safe. After long and careful consideration we have come to the difficult decision to close our doors temporarily to comply with the CDC’s recommendations for non-essential businesses.
Heart of Texas Lashes in Weatherford, Texas is eager and waiting to get back to work, but in the meantime, we are all at home and practicing self-care. Taking care of your eyelashes is crucial, so here are some at-home lash maintenance tips to help you out until your next visit.
Keep Your Lashes Clean, Queen
It is important to incorporate lash cleaning into your daily routine, so you will want to find a product that makes it easy for you to wash your eyelashes every day.
We recommend a Plumerian Tiny Bubbles Lash Shampoo because it can keep up with the maintenance of daily cleaning. This lash extension-safe cleanser is in a foaming pump bottle for easy use. It is oil-free, pH balancing, and will easily remove makeup and any oil along the lash line.
Avoid Oil-Based Products
The reason we recommend an oil-free lash shampoo is because you will want to avoid using all oil-based products near your eyes. Oil-free makeup and skincare products are the way to go for good lash extension care. The reason for this is because some oils can cause weakening of your lash extension adhesive.
One of the benefits of getting lash extensions is that you can throw away your mascara. Lash extensions do what mascara wishes it could do. Our extensions enhance and lengthen your lashes, make your eyes look bigger, and help finish your look. However, some of our clients love their mascara and can’t part with it. If you are going to leave mascara application in your makeup routine, we highly recommend that you only use a water-based mascara or one that is specifically designed for use on eyelash extensions.
Sleep On Your Back
Sorry stomach and side sleepers, it may be time to switch up your sleeping position. Sleeping on your back is the best way to go for optimal lash care. When you sleep on your side or stomach, your face is pressed into your pillow and it can create lash loss.
Speaking of pillows, consider investing in a silk pillowcase, especially if you can’t make the switch to sleeping on your back. Silk pillowcases are great for your skin, hair, and of course eyelashes. Just remember to wash your pillowcase regularly.
Extend the Life of Your Lash Extensions
Follow the tips above to amp up your at-home lash maintenance and extend the life of your beautiful lash extensions until you can make your next appointment. Our lash and skincare experts offer decades of expertise and we specialize in eyelash extensions that are long-lasting. Though, it’s best to have a maintenance routine that will keep your lashes looking their best for as long as possible. Contact Heart of Texas Lashes today.
