Importance of Lash Hygiene:
The natural oils, often referred to as sebum, produced by the sebaceous glands around the eyelash follicles play a crucial role in maintaining the health of eyelash extensions. However, these oils, along with everyday environmental contaminants like dust, pollution, and makeup residues, can accumulate and cause several issues:
● Clogging and Infections
● Lash Fragility
● Makeup Application
Shampooing Lashes:
1. Technique: Using our specially formulated lash shampoo, our product is designed to be gentle on the delicate skin around the eyes. When shampooing:
- Apply the shampoo with a clean, lash shampoo brush.
- Gently work the shampoo through the lashes from root to tip to remove all residue and oils without irritating the eyes.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, ensuring no soap remains which could dry out the lashes or cause irritation.
2. Frequency: Depending on makeup usage, daily or at least every other day cleaning is recommended, especially if you wear mascara or other eye makeup products.
Benefits of Regular Lash Cleaning:
- Promotes Growth: By keeping the follicles clear, nutrients from the blood can more easily reach the hair root, potentially promoting healthier, more robust lash growth.
- Prevents Loss: Regular cleaning can prevent premature lash fallout due to buildup or infections, thereby maintaining the natural lash line fuller for longer.
- Aesthetic Maintenance: Clean lashes hold up better under treatments like lash tinting or extensions, as they are less likely to harbor bacteria or lead to product fallout.
- Eye Health: Good lash hygiene reduces the risk of eye infections. This is particularly important for contact lens wearers or individuals with allergies, where cleanliness can significantly impact eye health.
