Eyelash extensions provide a unique opportunity to look amazing with less effort. Where else can you get that? Nowhere. It’s so amazing it’s hard to believe it’s not magic. But what about daily care? Should be concerned about showering and washing your face? Could you wash them off?

Lash extensions are professionally applied with the highest-grade bonding agents, so they are pretty secure. That being said, you don’t want to put undue pressure on them or weaken the integrity of the bond.

Here are some tips to protect your eyelash extensions against shower threats:

Shower and Slather with Care.

Any rich, emollient based shampoo, conditioner or body butter can affect your lash extensions. When you wash your hair be sure to tip your head up to minimize the product that runs over your eyes and lashes. When you moisturize, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before touching your lashes.

Dry carefully.

After you get out of the water, resist rubbing your eyes or scrubbing at them with a towel. Instead, gently pat dry and allow your lashes to dry fully and then comb out gently if needed. If you’re in a hurry, a hairdryer set on low held at arm’s length from your face can help speed up the process.

Eyelash extensions are meant to last about 2 months and applied with a highly-effective glue. Some care tips can help prevent mishaps that may occur during showers though. Follow them and you should have a worry-free eyelash extension experience.

Summer time, beach time, wedding time! With all there is to do this time of year, getting eyelash extensions can cut back on your beauty regime and get you out of the house faster to meet up with friends and enjoy the outdoors. Imagine not having to bother with mascara flaking on your face and having fabulous, flirty lashes from the time you open your eyes in the morning! What if you want eyelash extensions during the summer and know you’re going to be swimming? Can you swim with them?

Yes, You Can Swim In Them

Our eyelash extensions are applied using the highest-grade bonding agents available. Once set, you can swim, dance, shower and even cry your eyes out at a wedding with no messy mascara streaking or smudging.

Do Wait 12-24 Hours Before You Swim

Letting the bonding glue set is the key to making sure that your lash extensions stay put. After that time feel free to swim as you wish, but be careful to keep away any oily substances such as sunscreen or oil-based hair products from around your eyes. Oils can break down adhesives which can weaken the bond.

Lash extensions are perfect for any woman who loves the look of long, full lashes and don’t interfere with your fun at the beach or pool! For more information on eyelash extensions, contact us!

Should You Use Different Skin Care Products During Summer?

It’s finally summer, and we’re all waiting impatiently for beach vacations and flip flop weather. But before you head out for your long weekend getaway or weeknight pool routine, consider your skin care treatment and how it might need to change for your summertime needs.

Protect From the Sun’s Harsh Rays

One of the most important things to remember when gearing up for summer fun is to protect yourself from harmful UV radiation. While this is certainly a threat year-round, and you should already be treating your skin with a proper facial sunscreen before heading outdoors, you can’t afford to skip this step during the summer.

Some lightweight facial moisturizers have sunscreen included so that they protect and moisturize. Ideally, you want to find something that has 30 SPF or higher to keep your skin well-covered. And remember to re-apply regularly to experience the full benefit of sunscreen application.

If you’re spending a considerable amount of time in the sun, consider wearing a hat and protective clothing that will keep you shielded during the peak sunshine hours.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

If you’re spending a lot of time outdoors, you may feel like the sunshine is really taking it all out of you. In some ways, it is. During the summer heat and sunshine, you lose a significant amount of water through perspiration, which means you need to work overtime to protect your skin from drying out.

A good moisturizer is essential for summertime skin health, especially if you find one formulated with sun protection. You also want to make sure you have a supply of water on hand at all times and that you’re drinking frequently. Hydration works from the inside out, so give your body what it needs this summer.

Accent Your Tan (Or Make One)

Your summer tan is one of the best effects of summer sunshine. Let your tan speak for itself by keeping your skin hydrated and going lighter on cosmetics like foundation and cover up, which can lessen the impact of your bronzy skin.

Have trouble obtaining a tan? Look for a home tanning solution that’s safe and moisturizing to add color to your face, or find a home tanning kit that gives you a full-body cover. Just make sure to follow the instructions closely so you come out looking kissed by the sun gods, rather than as an unfortunate tanning newbie.
