Your new lash extensions look flawless — but how do you keep them that way? Proper aftercare is the secret to maintaining beautiful, long-lasting lashes. At Yimzy Lash and Brow Boutique, I want to help you get the most out of your investment. Here are five essential tips to keep your lashes looking full and fabulous.

1. Cleanse Your Lashes Regularly (Yes, Really!)

Many people avoid washing their lash extensions out of fear they’ll fall out. But the truth is, clean lashes last longer! Oil, makeup, and dirt can build up on your extensions, weakening the adhesive.

Use a gentle lash shampoo (available at Yimzy Lash and Brow Boutique) to keep your lashes fresh and healthy. Aim to cleanse them 2-3 times a week or daily if you wear makeup.

2. Avoid Oil-Based Products

Oil is the enemy of lash adhesive. Avoid oil-based cleansers, moisturizers, and makeup removers around your eyes. Oil can break down the glue and cause your extensions to fall out prematurely.

Pro Tip: Check your skincare labels — even some eye creams can contain oils that weaken lash retention.

3. Brush Them Daily

Just like your hair, your lashes need some TLC. Using a clean spoolie brush, gently comb through your lashes each morning to keep them neat and prevent tangling.

Bonus Tip: Brushing your lashes can also help fluff them back up after sleeping.

4. Sleep on Your Back (or Side Carefully!)

Sleeping face-down can crush your lashes, causing them to bend or shed. Try to sleep on your back to protect your extensions.

Silk or satin pillowcases can also help reduce friction and keep your lashes looking their best.

5. Book Regular Fills

Lash extensions naturally shed with your real lashes as part of your growth cycle. To maintain a full, flawless look, schedule your fills every 2-4 weeks. This keeps your lashes looking fresh without waiting for a full new set.

Don’t forget to pre-book your fill appointments to secure your preferred time!
