What you need to remove eyelash extensions
The first thing is to gather all the products and materials necessary to remove your false eyelashes:
- Glue remover
- Oil (olive, coconut, castor, almond or baby)
- Cotton Pads
- Cotonetes
- Towel
- Pot
- Water
How to remove false eyelashes step by step
Clean your lashes
First, soak a cotton ball in makeup remover or use a wipe to remove any mascara from your eyes. This will ensure the remover is more effective.
Apply the glue remover
Glue removers are applied with a small brush, gently tapping the base of your lashes while combing them. This will ensure that your lashes are well coated with the remover. Leave it on for a couple of minutes. If you don't want to use any chemicals, you can use olive oil or castor oil as a natural remover. Some people start removing their extensions once they've added the glue remover. However, this can damage your natural lashes. Therefore, it is best to do a facial steam bath, as it will help you remove your eyelash extensions painlessly and more easily.
Heat water in a pot and let it boil, wrap your head in a towel, bring your face close and let the steam do its work for approximately 15 minutes.
Remove your false eyelashes
Now is the time to remove your eyelash extensions, one by one. Be careful not to damage your natural eyelashes.You can use cotton swabs, as they are hygienic, soft, and very effective. Half-moon pads will also help prevent the glue from touching the under-eye area.
Nourish your natural eyelashes
Applying the remover may cause some dryness and redness at the base of your eyelashes. Therefore, we recommend nourishing this area with almond oil or baby oil.
Other tips and advice to keep in mind
- Test the chemicals you are going to use on your eyelashes first on another area of your body, such as your forearm. This way, you can determine whether or not you are allergic to a product before using it on your eyes, as this area is very sensitive.
- Check the expiration dates of the products you use to remove false eyelashes. If they're expired, they could have a negative effect on your skin.
- You can gradually remove your extensions by applying castor oil to your eyelashes every night and removing the excess oil with warm water. This will soften the glue. The important thing is that you never pluck them abruptly.
- Let your natural lashes grow stronger for at least a month before applying false lashes again.
- While you have your extensions in, use an oil-based makeup remover and clean the roots of your lashes. This way you'll avoid inflammations such as styes, while also moisturizing your natural eyelashes.
