We sure do bang on about aftercare a lot – so here’s more from us on our pet-topic ?

Firstly – and most importantly, for most people – is lash retention. Where lashes have been exposed to a lot of oil (whether from naturally occuring oils in the skin, or products that contain oil, such as micellar water, non-oil free makeup remover, waterproof makeup and other skin care) they generally won’t last very well. This is especially the case if oil is not cleaned off regularly using a foam cleanser, as eventually it will start to degrade the adhesive bonds, resulting in poor lash retention. Clean lashes do last longer!

Secondly – lash health (which can affect lash retention also) – when skin cells, makeup and oil/sebum are allowed to build up on the lash line, some interesting little creatures called Demodex (AKA lash mites?)  will have a giant party, which can lead to irritated lash lines, blocked follicles and lash loss. So clean those peepers and make sure your lash line is not a veritable feast for lash mites!

Thirdly – comfort. Lashes that are not cleaned properly (skin, sebum, oil and sleep will build up) get itchy! Lash extensions are supposed to feel like nothing – so if your lash line is feeling a little itchy and irritated, better after care may be in order. Giving your lashes a good clean every day will make them feel much lighter on.

We have an extensive range of aftercare products in our salon, including foam cleanser, makeup remover and lash growth serum  from the LashGame range (perfectly lash-safe, works incredibly well!) as well as lash-safe eye makeup and the range of Full-brow makeup which is what we use in-salon to create beautiful brows!

Or if you can’t get to us, but want to stock up on aftercare, everything we have available in our salons is also available via our online aftercare store.
