Basic lash care isn’t just for those with extensions; we think it’s as important as your skin or hair care routine! Whatever you decide to do to your lashes – extensions, mascara, tints, lifts or all-natural – the best starting point is a clean and healthy eyelid.
Always cleanse
Your lashes go through a lot – they protect your eyes from debris and residue on the daily. You can avoid build-up of bacteria, dirt and makeup by cleansing your lashes twice a day. Cleansing is also the best way to prevent conditions caused by
lash mites – a gross but real factor in your overall lash health.
Want an easy way to handle this step? Take a second to give your lashes some love during your normal facial cleansing.
Be gentle
The skin around your eyes is very delicate – treat it with care! Opt for gentle cleansers like
micellar water and avoid aggressive rubbing or tugging with wipes. If you’re looking for eye-safe products, SkinGloss sells the
Barboleta Lash Bath Gel Cleanser, Breakdown Remover and the Clean Swoop Lash Cleansing Brush.
BIG no-nos include sleeping in your makeup or over-curling to keep lashes strong and healthy.
Brush often
Brush your lashes out with a spoolie morning and night to keep them clean and stimulated. This step is especially important if you have lash extensions.
Try serums
Serums are a great option if you’re looking to condition your lashes and promote length and density. Look for ingredients like biotin, keratin and peptides. Avoid products with parabens, phthalates, sulfates or silicones.
