Eyelash extensions are applied to the natural lashes using adhesive and can last for several weeks. When it's time to remove them, it is important to do so correctly to avoid damaging the natural lashes. Here are a few steps to help you remove eyelash extensions safely:
- Gently massage coconut oil or a special eyelash extension remover onto the extensions. This will help to break down the adhesive and make it easier to remove the extensions.
- Use a cotton swab or a small brush to gently remove the extensions from the natural lashes. Start at the base of the extensions and work your way out.
- Be patient and work slowly. Do not pull or tug on the extensions, as this can cause damage to the natural lashes.
- Once the extensions have been removed, use a gentle cleanser to clean the area around the eyes, and then moisturize with a gentle eye cream.
- Avoid using water on the eyes for 24 hours after the extensions are removed, to allow the glue to fully cure.
It is not recommended to remove eyelash extensions by yourself if you don't have experience doing so, as it can be difficult and can cause damage to your natural lashes. It is best to go to a professional to have them removed safely.
