Top 10 Ingredients for Lash Extension Clients to Avoid

“We’re all here for healthy lashes, but there are specific ingredients you should avoid when you get eyelash extensions because they can cause problems.” 

Lash clients are often concerned about products they put on their lashes while the extensions are in place. One of the top questions we get from lash extensions clients is whether or not it’s safe to use mascara while their lashes are being applied.

The answer? Yes, you can use mascara! Just be sure your technician uses a clean wand, so no product gets transferred to your lashes. Choose cruelty-free, glycerin-free mascaras that are free of lanolin, parabens, and petroleum byproducts.

Top three things clients should avoid

  • Parabens
  • Sulfate 
  • Alcohol

Paraben is a preservative that has been shown to react within the eyelash follicle, killing healthy lash cells. Sulfates are used for creating lather and stripping color in shampoos. As far as alcohol is concerned, it dries the lashes out, which can cause them to break or fall out prematurely.

Listing out ingredients lash extension clients should stay away

1. No oil-based products near lash extensions

No oils, creams, or serums unless they’re deemed safe for eyelash extensions like our lash serum since this can cause the bond to weaken and eventually dislodge.

2. No anti-aging treatments for lash clients with lash extensions

Many of these products have heavy oils that are not good for use near lash extensions. Heavy creams, serums, or oils may cause your lashes to be weighed down or cause the bond to break. So go for the best eyelash extension products which do not damage your lashes.

3. No petroleum products anywhere near lash extensions

Petroleum is a byproduct of oil refining, so using products that contain petroleum will cause the lashes to lift and break easily. Products that are made with purified water or glycerin are safe for use while wearing lash extensions.

4. No mineral/white powder makeups 

These may be applied too heavily near lash extensions, causing the bond to lift. A heavy application of white powder close to lashes can also cause “stray powder” to be left on your skin after makeup application, which will stick to the adhesive and form a bump around your eyes. Not attractive!

5. No mink oil near lash extensions 

Since mink oil is a product that coats objects to make them shine, it can cause your lashes to stick together and not allow for proper movement. This will eventually lead to the lash bond failing.

6. No Vaseline or petroleum jelly near lash extensions

Vaseline may be too thick and oily for use near lash extensions. The lashes will stick together and not allow for proper movement. This will eventually lead to the lash bond failing.

7. No castor oil near lash extensions 

Most makeup artists avoid putting castor oil anywhere near lash extensions since it is believed that castor oil can cause lashes to stick together, preventing them from moving properly, which may cause the lash extension bond to fail.

8. No oils on lash extensions

Oils cause lashes to stick together, not allowing for proper movement, which may prevent the lash extension bond from lasting the full duration of your service. They may also weaken or dissolve adhesives used in applied lash extensions resulting in loss or damage to your own natural lashes and/or extensions.

9. No heavy creams or serums near lash extensions

Heavy creams and serums will weigh down lashes, making them appear dull and hair-like rather than long and fluttery. Oils also weaken or dissolve adhesives used in applied lash extensions resulting in loss or damage to your own natural lashes as well as the extensions.

10. No harsh rubbing near lash extensions

Avoid hard rubbing near lash extensions since this can cause the adhesive to be pulled away from the skin, causing your natural lashes and/or lash extensions to fall out

What activities to be avoided?

Basically, anything that would jeopardize the bond of your extensions with your natural lashes. A few things to avoid are found in makeup products you might put on during the day, but it also applies to some hygiene routines as well.

You may not want to do your full face of makeup before or after your appointment. The more you let the adhesive bond with your natural lashes, the better. Applying too much of certain makeup may potentially weaken the bond between your lash extensions and your natural lashes, which could result in one or both falling out prematurely.

Also, don’t do your full face of makeup on the day you’re getting them done. A new classic set of eyelash extensions applied after a full face of makeup will just result in your natural lashes sticking to the extensions and possibly pulling them off prematurely, resulting in loss of both sets.

Avoid applying too much moisturizer near lash extensions, as this can weaken the bond between lash extensions and your natural lashes, causing one or both to fall out prematurely.

Some other no-nos include sleeping on your stomach, which never feels good anyway and is hard to get everyday. Don’t rub your eyes too harshly or vigorously because that can also damage the lash extension bond.

Most importantly, avoid oil-based products near your lashes such as mink oil, vaseline, petroleum jelly, and castor oil since these can thin out adhesive and cause loss of lashes.

Wrapping up:
