A lash lift and tint can transform your lashes, giving them a beautiful, natural curl and a darker hue that lasts for weeks. To ensure you get the most out of your treatment and maintain the health of your lashes, proper aftercare is essential. Here’s everything you need to know from your favorite Reading salon about taking care of your lashes post-treatment.
The First 24-48 Hours
The initial 24-48 hours after your lash lift and tint are crucial for setting the results and ensuring the longevity of the treatment. Here are the key steps you should follow:
Keep Your Lashes Dry
- Avoid Water: Refrain from getting your lashes wet during this period. This includes washing your face, swimming, or any activity that may expose your lashes to moisture.
- Steer Clear of Steam: Stay away from steam rooms, saunas, and even steamy showers. The steam can relax the curl and affect the tint.
Avoid Makeup and Skincare Products
- No Eye Makeup: Avoid applying mascara, eyeliner, or eyeshadow to keep the lashes free from any potential irritants.
- Skip the Skincare: Avoid using any creams, oils, or serums around the eye area as these can interfere with the setting process.
Hands Off
- No Touching: Try not to touch or rub your eyes. The oils from your fingers can transfer to your lashes, potentially affecting the lift and tint.
Long-Term Care Tips
Once you’ve passed the critical initial phase, maintaining your beautiful lashes involves a few ongoing care steps:
Gentle Cleansing
- Use a Mild Cleanser: Opt for an oil-free and gentle cleanser to wash your face. Avoid rubbing your eyes while cleansing.
- Be Gentle: When drying your face, pat the area around your eyes gently instead of rubbing.
Condition Your Lashes
- Lash Serums: Apply a lash serum to nourish and strengthen your lashes. This can help maintain their health and improve the longevity of the lift.
- Nourishing Oils: Use nourishing oils like castor oil or a specifically designed lash conditioner to keep your lashes hydrated.
Avoid Heavy Products
- Skip Waterproof Mascara: Waterproof mascara can be harsh and difficult to remove, which may weaken your lashes over time. Opt for a regular or water-based mascara if you need to use one.
- No Heavy Eye Creams: Avoid heavy, oil-based eye creams that can interfere with the tint and lift.
