You’ve finally treated your lashes to a wonderful boost: an eyelash lift! 🙌 You’re probably wondering how you can keep your fresh curls as long as possible. Can you get them wet? Can you wear mascara? Luckily, you can follow these simple eyelash dos and don’ts right after your appointment.
What not to do after eyelash lift
There are just a few dos and don’ts to keep your gorgeous lash lift on point. These simple (but critical!) tips should be followed in the first 24 hours after your appointment.
- Avoid steam, sweat and tears: This is the PERFECT opportunity (and excuse) to put off your gym workout and relax. Avoid getting your lashes wet from sweaty environments, water or tears. 💦 Exposure to humidity can make the perfect curl fall.
- No side or stomach sleeping: We know what you’re thinking… this is going to be tough. But trust us – it will be worth it! Take the first night to sleep on your back to avoid lying on your face and putting pressure on your eyelashes. 🛌 You will thank yourself the next morning when you look in the mirror and see that your eyelash lift is still intact!
- Remove mascara: Give your lashes a breather from any eye makeup. Applying mascara too early can weaken the lashes and ultimately affect the curl from your service. Want an extra boost of color right away? Consider getting a tint with your lash lift! If you get a tint at your lash appointment, aftercare remains easy to maintain fresh curl and color.

- Pamper yourself with skin care: Luckily, getting an eyelash lift doesn’t mean you have to mess with how you do your skincare routine. Once that 24-hour window is up, you can clean your face as usual! Be sure to wash your face gently and avoid any harsh rubbing along the lash line. Do you plan to wear makeup with your lift? Include the top make-up remover in your routine. ✨
- Comb your lashes: You brush your hair in the morning to give your mane a smooth, voluminous look, so why not do the same for your lashes?! Take a few seconds in the morning to comb your lash line with a clean lash wand. 🌟 This tiny step will make all the difference in preventing tangles and keeping them fluffy and curled all day long.
- Use eyelash serum: This step is completely optional, but if you want to give your lashes a little extra care, then this is for you! An eyelash growth serum will improve the look of your lashes, condition your lashes AND make them look longer and stronger! Just use it once a day and you can expect to see results in just 1 month.
