3. Clean your eyelash extension every three days
Don’t get the previous recommendation wrong, avoiding moisture and water does not mean not cleaning the lashes! It’s a classic rookie mistake.
We're frequently encouraged to believe that the less we touch and clean around, the better and longer our eyelash extensions will last. This is wrong, in fact, it’s entirely the opposite! If you don't wash your extensions after the first 48 hours, residue will start to accumulate around the lash line. Eye infections and other eye problems may result from this. Instead, you should clean your eyelash extensions every three days.
Best practice: Clean it with a soft bristle brush and specialized cleaning foam. Adapting this habit helps to get rid of makeup, dust, and natural oils. This keeps any accumulations from pressing against your lashes and weakening the link which will prevent lash shedding before it is necessary.
