Aftercare Advice
The following have been put in place by Charluxe Lashes to provide clients with the correct aftercare to ensure optimum results. as a client this is your responsibility to follow this aftercare to prolong your eyelash extensions. Failure to do so will result in poor results, damage and retention issues.
Do not get them wet within the first 48 hours of application.
Clean every 2-3 days (it would be preferred to use a dedicated eyelash foam cleanser).
Use a clean mascara to brush in the morning, evening and in/or after bathing/showering.
Use only oil free products around the eye area at all times.
No eye makeup for the first 24-48 hours.
Do not use mascara.
Avoid sleeping face flat on a pillow.
No swimming for 24-48 hours. If you plan at to go swimming at any point whilst having your extensions. Please ensure that you thoroughly clean them using a lash cleanser after every time.
No intense heat for the first 24-48 hours, avoid saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds or any other intense heat treatments. Please avoid long exposure to this throughout your set.
Do not use an eyelash curler during anytime of having eyelash extensions.
Heavy use of makeup and eye makeup such as liquid and gel liners should be avoid as much as possible, due to this being hard to remove and could cause build up of product which could cause bacteria growth and aid in poor retention as well as other health issues.
No tugging, no rubbing, no picking, no touching excessively at any point. This could cause extreme and permeant damage to the natural lash line as well as contributing to the lashes prematurely falling out.
Schedule infills every 2-3 weeks to maintain upkeep of lashes.
If you want them removed, please book a removal appointment or use an at home recommended removal system (Not one for professional use).
Lash Cycles
The average natural lash cycle is usually 6 -12 weeks. This is when you will loose a complete shed of your natural lashes. This means that some weeks you may loose more lashes than usual dependent on where you are in your natural growth cycle. The average human has 60 - 200 natural lashes per eye. Some people will shed quicker than others meaning to upkeep your lash extensions you will need to book in for regular infills, every 2 - 3 weeks. At each set I will apply as many extensions as possible (dependent on growth stage and lash health) in the time slot allocated. We shed an average 1-5 lashes per eye per day so shedding is completely normal and is more emphasized because of the extensions.
Spring & Autumn Shed
Every year just like animals humans shed more hair than usual. This is our bodies natural response to the change in seasons. At these times clients will shed lashes a lot quicker than usual and will need to book infills on a more frequent basis.
