1. 24-HOUR RULE: As always no
   water, NO pool water within
   24 hours of getting lashes
   done. It is highly recommended to
   keep your lashes dry for the first
   24 hours after a lash application or
   touch-up. The adhesive used to apply
   our lash extensions needs ample
   amount of time to cure. Avoid eye
   makeup, swimming, saunas, suntanning,
   and heavy workouts for
   the first 24 hours.
2. SWEAT: Summer and
   exercise equals sweat. Sweat
   contains natural oils and salt
   deposits that, if left on your lashes,
   can cause a crusty buildup. To
   combat the effects of sweat on your
   lashes, have a towel on hand to
   keep sweat away from dripping in
   your eyes or if comfortable, wear a
   sweatband. Be sure to always rinse
   your lashes with fresh water after a
   workout or run.
3. SWIMMING: Rinse your
   lashes after swimming. Always
   rinse your lashes with
   fresh water after being in chlorine
   and salt water. Be sure to pat dry always,
   no rubbing, to remove excess
   water.
4. NO HEAT: Avoid extreme heat
   near your lashes. When you’re
   grilling, opening an oven, or
   getting cozy by a fire, remember
   extreme temperatures can singe
   you lashes, be cautious to not get
   too close.
5. NO OILY SUNSCREEN: Oil-based
   skincare products have a bad
   reputation for breaking down
   the adhesive. Look for a sunscreen
   with an oil-free formula. Use caution
   when applying your sunscreen
   to ensure it fully soaks in before
   swimming and always avoid the eye
   area. As always make sure your eye
   makeup and remover is oil-free.
