How to Clean Your Lash Extensions: A Step-by-Step Guide

Keeping your lash extensions clean is one of the most important steps in maintaining their longevity and ensuring the health of your natural lashes. Proper cleaning not only helps your extensions look fresh and full but also prevents buildup, irritation, and potential eye infections. Here’s everything you need to know about how to clean your lash extensions like a pro.

Why Cleaning Your Lash Extensions Is Important

Your lashes can accumulate oil, dirt, and makeup residue throughout the day. Without regular cleaning, this buildup can lead to:

• Premature lash shedding.

• Infections, such as blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids).

• Weakening of the adhesive bond.

By incorporating a gentle yet effective cleaning routine, you can avoid these issues and extend the life of your lash extensions.

Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Lash Extensions

1. Gather Your Supplies

You’ll need the following:

• A foaming lash cleanser

• A soft brush

• Cool water

• A lint-free towel or paper towel

2. Prepare Your Lashes

Make sure your hands are clean to avoid transferring dirt or bacteria to your eyes. Remove any eye makeup gently before starting. Avoid using cotton pads or Q-tips, as their fibers can snag on your extensions and cause damage.

3. Apply the Cleanser

• Close your eye and dispense one pump of foaming lash cleanser onto your lash extensions or close your eye and dispense a small amount of foaming lash cleanser onto a brush and apply it to your extensions

• Gently brush the cleanser into your lash line using light, circular motions. Focus on the base of your lashes where dirt and oil tend to build up.

Ensure you are using an oil free foaming lash cleanser and a soft brush to maintain your extensions.

4. Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse your lashes with lukewarm water to remove all traces of the cleanser. Be gentle and avoid splashing water directly onto your face.

Using our Lash Rinse Bottle will give you the ability to direct the water onto your lash extensions without hassle.

5. Dry Your Lashes

Using a dry lint-free towel or paper towel, pat the top of your lashes gently. Then let your lashes air dry or use a fan to dry them quicker. Avoid brushing lashes while they are still wet.

Using a mini fan can make this process easier and more enjoyable!

6. Brush Your Lashes

Once dry, use a clean spoolie brush to gently comb through your lashes. This helps maintain their shape and keeps them looking neat and fluffy.

Pro Tip: Always brush your lashes from the top, in an upward motion to avoid tugging. Make sure your lash spoolies are clean before brushing your lashes. Using a spoolie that has a protective lid can help you keep your lashes clean. Our Reusable Spoolie is the perfect addition to your lash accessories!

How Often Should You Clean Your Lashes?

Clean your lash extensions daily, especially if you wear makeup, have oily skin, or sweat frequently. You may find your lashes need to be washed more than once a day if you are working out and breaking a sweat, wearing heavy makeup, or have naturally oily skin.
