How Do You Clean Eyelash Extensions Correctly?

Cleaning your eyelash extensions is easier than you think and should be done daily, just as you would your regular lashes. "Not only will your lash extensions look fresher after a daily clean, but they will also last for longer," says Piper. According to Dr. Green, all you need is a gentle cleanser or makeup remover and a cloth. Then you simply wash your falsies in a downward motion over the eyelid and lash line. "Be sure to not rub back and forth, as this can be too abrasive on the eyelash extensions," she warns.

Piper agrees, insisting that the cleanser must be oil-free and the cloth should be fibre-free. "Oil can cause adhesive bonds to break down, meaning lash extensions will last for less time than they should, while any wipes/cloths with fibres will get tangled in lash extensions," she explains. Once dry, use a clean mascara wand to ensure the lashes hold their curl and don't form clusters.
