Maintaining proper face washing habits is essential for preserving the integrity and longevity of lash extensions. Water and cleansers can weaken the adhesive used to attach the extensions, causing them to fall out prematurely. Therefore, it is crucial to follow a gentle and structured approach when cleansing your face. The first rule is to avoid water contact with the lashes for at least eight hours after the lash extension application, as this allows the adhesive to fully set.
