How Long Does a Lash Lift Last?
A lash lift generally lasts between 6 to 8 weeks if well maintained. However, to ensure your lashes fully return to their natural state before your next appointment, it's often recommended that you wait 8-12 weeks. If you're uncertain whether your lashes have fully dropped and are ready for a re-do, a simple tip is to take a photo before and then at weekly intervals to monitor the progress. That gives you and your lash artist the resources to determine when to book your next lash lift appointment.
Preparing for Your Lash Lift Appointment
For the best results, it’s important to arrive prepared for your lash lift treatment, so here are some helpful tips:
- Remove all makeup: Cleanse the eye area thoroughly, removing any makeup, sunscreen, or oil-based products. This will give your lash artist a jump start in prepping your lashes for your lift.
- Skip mascara and false lashes: Don’t wear mascara or false lashes on the day of your appointment.
- Pause lash serums: If you’re using a lash growth serum, it’s best to stop applying it a few days before your appointment.
- Avoid retinol or Vitamin A: To prevent possible irritation, avoid using these products around the eye area for 3-7 days before your appointment.
Essential Aftercare for Eyelash Lifts - The First 24-48 Hours
The first 24-48 hours after your lash lift are essential for setting the shape:
- Keep Lashes Dry: Avoid water, steam, and moisture, including showers, saunas, and hot baths.
- No Makeup or Creams: Avoid makeup and creams around the eye area, including mascara.
- Sleep on Your Back: This helps prevent the lashes from bending or being crushed.
- No Rubbing or Touching: Avoid touching or rubbing your lashes to maintain their shape and curl.
Maintaining Your Lash Lift with Prolong Lash Cleanser and Foaming Lash Cleanser
Keeping your lashes clean after the first 48 hours is crucial for hygiene and lasting results. As natural filters, lashes trap dust and accumulate dead skin cells at their base. Using a specialized cleanser like Prolong Lash Cleanser is essential to gently remove build-up of makeup, oils, dirt, and dead skin cells, ensuring your lashes stay healthy and fresh. The Prolong Lash Foaming Cleanser, ophthalmologically tested and safe for even the most sensitive eyes, is perfectly tailored for lash treatments, making it a must-have in your aftercare for eyelash lift routine.How to Clean Your Lashes
Here's how to clean your lashes effectively:
- Start by applying a small amount of Prolong Lash Foaming Lash Cleanser to a soft brush.
- Gently cleanse the lashes with downward strokes, avoiding harsh rubbing.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. Allow your lashes to air dry naturally to help maintain their lift.
Using a fit-for-purpose eyelash shampoo like Prolong Lash cleanser as part of your aftercare routine will help keep your lashes clean and increase the longevity of the lift.
Additional Tips for Long-Lasting Lashes
- Brush Your Lashes: Gently combing through your lashes each morning helps them stay separated and maintains their curl.
- Avoid Oil-Based Products: Steer clear of oil-based products around your eye area, as these can weigh down lashes and compromise your lift.
- Apply a Lash Serum: A lash serum can keep the lashes hydrated and healthy. Incorporating a growth serum into your routine can enhance the health and appearance of your lashes and complement the effects of the lift. However, waiting at least 48 hours after the procedure before applying any products is essential to ensure the lift sets appropriately. Other considerations:
- Choose oil-free serums formulated for use with lash treatments to avoid weakening the lift.
- Apply the serum carefully to avoid contact with the eyes and follow the manufacturer's instructions for optimal results.
