FOR THE CLIENT: WHAT TO AVOID THIS SUMMER

One of the greatest parts of having eyelash extensions is that they can be worn through it all—sleeping, swimming, hiking, traveling, and all things summer activities. However, in order to enjoy all of Summer’s activities with our lashes looking their best, there a few things to avoid. It’s a good idea to remind our clients of proper aftercare and what to avoid this summer! 

Direct Heat

Our lashes our not heat resistant. You want to avoid any direct heat. Extreme sun, BBQs, and bonfires can cause singed lashes, loosened curls, and poor retention. You don’t want to miss out but proceed with caution, wear protective eyewear while outside and keep a safe distance from flames. 


Harsh Elements

It’s all about being outdoors this summer but that is where our lashes can encounter wind, dust, water, and sun. Wear sunglasses while outside, during water activities, and while any wind is present. In addition to protecting our eyelashes, give them a good cleaning after a day of being in the elements. I bring a lash wash everywhere I travel! 

Allergens

It’s easier said than done to avoid allergens but it’s all about being prepared. If you take medication, don’t forget it! Watery eyes are not our friend. If you do experience allergies or any seasonal irritation I recommend using a lash wash every day especially after being outside. Of course, avoid rubbing and itching! 

Spray SPF + Oil Products

Say yes to SPF, say no to spraying directly over lashes. Opt for a cream product for the face in order to protect the lashes. Pay attention to the ingredients and avoid oily based products around the eyes. 

Last Minute Booking

Summer is a busy season all around so avoid last minute booking if you want your lashes looking fresh. In the summer months I suggest my clients book ahead more than one appointment, schedule accordingly to any traveling, and schedule more often if they are “rougher” on their lashes.
