So you just got your eyelash extensions at StudioLash Co (yay!) — and now you’re wondering how to keep them looking gorgeous for as long as possible. We’ve got you covered.


Eyelash extensions are an investment in effortless beauty. With proper aftercare, you can stretch the time between fills, avoid damage to your natural lashes, and keep your set looking fresh and full.


Whether you’re rocking a classic set or full mega volume lashes, here are the top 10 eyelash extension aftercare tips our clients in Long Beach, CA swear by.





🌊 1. Keep Them Dry for the First 24 Hours



After your appointment, avoid getting your lashes wet for at least 24–48 hours. This includes:


  • Shower steam 🚿

  • Swimming pools 💦

  • Crying (yes, really!) 😢



This waiting period allows the adhesive to fully cure and form a strong bond.




💧 2. Use an Oil-Free Lash Cleanser



Clean lashes = long-lasting lashes. Use a gentle, oil-free foaming cleanser daily to remove dirt, oils, and makeup. Never skip this step — even if you don’t wear makeup.


We carry lash-safe cleansers at StudioLash Co, or you can ask us for approved product suggestions.





💄 3. Avoid Mascara and Eyeliner on the Extensions



Mascara (especially waterproof) and oil-based eyeliners can weaken the bond of the adhesive and cause premature shedding. Trust us — you won’t need them anyway!





🛏️ 4. Sleep on Your Back (or Use a Lash Pillow)



Side or stomach sleeping can bend or crush your lash extensions. Try sleeping on your back or use a lash extension sleep mask or pillow to protect your investment.



💨 5. Skip Steam Rooms and Saunas



Excessive heat and humidity can weaken the lash adhesive, especially within the first 72 hours. If you’re hitting a sauna, steam room, or hot yoga class — skip the lashes or wait it out.





🪮 6. Brush Daily With a Clean Spoolie



Gently brush your lashes every morning using a clean spoolie brush to keep them fanned out and tangle-free. Bonus: it feels relaxing too!





🤲 7. Keep Your Hands Off



Touching, rubbing, or pulling your lashes can break down the adhesive and damage your natural lashes. If you feel itchiness or discomfort, gently cleanse your lash line instead.





🧴 8. Avoid Oil-Based Products Around the Eyes



Products like heavy eye creams, oil-based removers, and even some moisturizers can break down lash adhesive. Stick to oil-free skincare and makeup near the lash line.



💅 9. Be Gentle When Removing Eye Makeup



Use lint-free applicators or cotton rounds and oil-free micellar water to remove makeup around your eyes. Never use regular cotton balls — they can snag on your lashes.





📆 10. Book Your Lash Fills Every 2–3 Weeks



To maintain fullness, we recommend lash fills every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on your lash cycle, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare. Waiting too long may require a full set.


👉 Book your lash fill now to keep your lashes fresh and flawless.





🎯 Pro Tip: Ask About Lash Retention Boosters



At your next appointment, ask us about:


  • Lash growth serums that support natural lash health

  • Retention boosters we can apply during fills

  • Home care kits to maintain your lashes between visits
