To properly clean your lash extensions , wait at least 48 hours after they're applied so they're less likely to come off. Then:
  • Remove any makeup you're wearing with a gentle cleanser or an oil-free makeup remover.
  • Wet your lashes with cool water and work in a gentle lash shampoo. If you don't have lash shampoo, baby shampoo or a gentle facial cleanser works in a pinch.
  • Rinse your lash extensions with cool water and gently pat them dry.
  • Brush your lashes with a spoolie or extension brush to keep them separated and remove any other debris.

When you want to take care of eyelash extensions, you’re good to go with your normal face cleaning routine once they're dry and secure. In addition to your regular regimen, use an eyelash extension cleanser to extend the life of your extensions.
