LASH EXTENSION AFTERCARE
At Lucky Duck Lashes in Virginia Beach, I create comfortable, carefully applied lash extension sets while prioritizing the health of your natural lashes.
Taking care of your lashes at home is the key to keeping them clean, comfortable, and looking their best.
The good news is that it is simple and only takes a few minutes a day.
The Golden Rules
• Wash your lashes every day
• Cleanse at the sink, not in the shower
• Cleanse after showering and before skincare
• Keep your eyelids relaxed while cleansing and avoid squinting.
• Work on one eye at a time
How to Clean Your Lash Extensions
-
Remove makeup first. Use an oil-free liquid makeup remover with your cleansing brush. Avoid wipes, cotton pads, cotton balls, and washcloths.
-
Apply lash cleanser. Pump cleansing foam onto your hand or directly onto your eyelid.
-
Clean the lash line. Use your brush to gently work cleanser through the lash line, lashes, eyelid, and under-eye area.
-
Adjust your angle. Turn the brush perpendicular to the lashes to clean between the lash line.
-
Rinse thoroughly. Flush with water using a squeeze bottle.
-
Dry and fluff. Use a handheld fan or hairdryer on low and cool while brushing through with a clean spoolie.
What to Expect
Lashes shed daily as part of their natural growth cycle.
It is normal to see extensions shed with a natural lash when washing or brushing.
On average, you lose 2–5 natural lashes per eye per day, which is why maintenance appointments are needed to keep your lashes looking full.
Most clients schedule fills every 2–3 weeks to maintain a full, even look.
To qualify for a fill, about 40% of your extensions should still be present when you arrive.
If fewer than 40% remain, a new full set will be required.
If you are unsure, you can always send a photo before your appointment.
Taking care of your lash extensions does not have to be complicated.
A simple daily routine will keep your lashes looking fresh, full, and beautiful between appointments.
If you ever have questions about your lashes or your aftercare routine, feel free to reach out. I am always happy to help.
