Why using oil-free products will prolong eyelash extensions
As eyelash extension professionals, it is essential to educate and inform our clients regarding their lash extension aftercare.
Using an oil-based eye product will break down quicker the adhesive that bonds the extensions to the natural lashes, leading to premature lash loss.
Our oil-free aftercare products are designed to care for, nourish, and soothe your clients’ eyes. They protect from dissolving the bonds that hold the extensions in place.
The best way for your clients to maintain their eyelash extensions is by using products that have been formulated especially for lash extension aftercare.
Your clients should:
- Use oil-free makeup removers.
- Know the benefits associated with using professional eye-makeup formulas.
- Be aware of the benefits of maintaining optimum eyelash health.
- Understand that eyelash aftercare is an essential part of prolonging their extensions.
Educate your clients:
- Certain ingredients are harmful to the delicate eye area.
- Why a professionally formulated eyelash aftercare routine is essential.
- How their eyelash extensions benefit in look and retention.
- The benefits of healthy natural eyelash regrowth as a base for infills.
