    LASH EXTENSION AFTERCARE

    Your guide to keeping your eyelashes looking fluffy, clean, and long-lasting

    Taking care of your lashes at home is the key to keeping them looking good and feeling better.

    At Lucky Duck Lashes in Virginia Beach, I focus on creating beautiful, damage-free lash sets. Proper aftercare is what keeps them looking their best between appointments.

    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 lids relaxed while cleansing. No 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.
