Preparing for Lash Perfection: Your Pre-Appointment Skincare Routine

If you've booked an appointment for those coveted eyelash extensions, congratulations – you're on your way to effortlessly glamorous lashes! But before you recline in that cozy salon chair, there's an essential step to ensure your lashes turn out stunning and long-lasting: preparing your face.

1. Start with a Clean Slate:

On the day of your appointment, arrive with a fresh face, devoid of makeup and skincare products. Here's how to do it:

a. Makeup Removal: Using a gentle, oil-free makeup remover, thoroughly cleanse your eyelids and lashes. Pay extra attention to the lash line, ensuring no trace of mascara, eyeshadow, or eyeliner remains.

b. Face Cleansing: Cleanse your entire face with a mild, non-oily facial cleanser. Rinse thoroughly to ensure there's no residue left behind.

2. Skip Oil-Based Products:

In the hours leading up to your appointment, avoid using any oil-based skincare products around your eyes. Oil can interfere with the adhesive used to attach your extensions.

3. Fresh and Makeup-Free:

When you arrive at the salon, your lash technician will appreciate your makeup-free, clean canvas. Here's why it's crucial:

  • Better Adhesion: The adhesive used to apply lash extensions adheres more effectively to clean, oil-free lashes.

  • Hygienic Application: A clean face reduces the risk of infections or irritations during and after the procedure.

  • Lash Longevity: Clean lashes ensure your extensions stay in place for longer, giving you more mileage out of your gorgeous look.

4. Talk to Your Technician:

During your appointment, communicate openly with your lash technician. Share any concerns or preferences you may have regarding your lashes' length, thickness, or style. A skilled technician will tailor the extensions to your liking while ensuring they're safe and comfortable.

By following these simple steps, you're not only preparing your face for lash perfection but also ensuring a smooth, enjoyable lash extension experience. So, arrive with a fresh, clean face, relax in that chair, and let the lash magic begin!
