Lash Aftercare & Maintance

  1. After visiting Elite Lashes avoid washing your face with hot water, using a steam bath, sauna or swimming for 24 hours.

  2. Stay away from oil based makeup remover and cosmetics (oils break down the adhesive)

  4. Protect your extensions a couple of times a week with a swipe of longer life sealant.

    To keep your lashes looking their best, Touch up (Refill) appointments are recommended every 2 to 3 weeks.

    Removal: Eyelash Extensions should be professionally removed with a special remover. Do not attempt to remove them yourself.
