Easy steps to take care when getting a facial while wearing eyelash extensions

Types of lashes 

The first and foremost thing to consider is the type of lashes you have. If your lash extensions are made from a synthetic material, then it’s no problem; you can get a facial with no problems.

If your lashes are human hair, it may be more difficult to find someone who can do both simultaneously. In either case, if you’re getting a facial and want to keep your eye makeup on as well as wear your classic set of eyelash extensions, you need to make sure the products used in the facial won’t affect your extensions. Our professional lash experts recommend you do not get a facial during the first three weeks of your lash extensions to be safe.

Type of facial 

The other thing to consider is what kind of facial you are getting. Not all facials are the same, so specific things can damage your lashes extensions.

For example, if you are getting a chemical peel, this usually involves putting something sticky on your face that will peel off dead skin cells. The chemicals used in a chemical peel can be harmful to your extensions because the chemicals will dissolve the bond that holds together your real lashes and your extensions.

Even while getting a massage, if the masseuse rubs your face in any way, she may pull on your extensions which can damage them. So keep your eyelash extensions safe while getting a massage by making sure that your facial doesn’t involve anything too active. kuşadası escort bayan

Another thing that our professionals don’t recommend is waxing. Waxing can pull out your natural eyelashes along with the extensions. This is harmful to your normal lashes and will result in them falling out prematurely.

Type of makeup you wear 

The other thing to consider is what kind of makeup you will wear. The right makeup can protect your lashes while being careful not to damage them. So when getting a facial with your extensions, you need to think about what you will put on your eyes.

Just because you have extensions does not mean it’s okay to skip eye makeup altogether. No matter what, you still need to use eye protection.

Be careful with various products around your eyes. Do not put any oil-based products near your eyes, as doing this can dissolve the glue that holds together the extensions and natural lashes. 

Consider your physical condition of lashes

If you have been fighting a bad cold or the flu lately, this is not a good time to get a facial. You need to consider the physical condition of your eyelashes. Getting facial while you’re sick can result in the bacteria from your nose and mouth getting into your eye area. Not good if you have volume eyelash extensions on.

This can cause an infection in your eyes, which is uncomfortable and very dangerous. The experts recommend that you do not get a facial while sick.

Now that you know all the steps to take, you can make your appointment. We suggest that you schedule your appointment before getting any work done on your eyelashes. This will let the technician know what steps to take when they are working on you.

Remember, this is not just your normal facial, so there’s more than usual to consider. We need to take the extra steps required when getting a facial with eyelash extensions.  escort kuşadası
