Eyelash extensions can enhance the beauty of your eyes, but there may come a time when you want to remove them. While it’s best to have a professional remove them, you can also do it at home safely with the right approach. Here’s a step-by-step guide how to remove eyelash extensions:
Materials You’ll Need:
- Gentle oil-based makeup remover.
- A bowl of hot water.
- Cotton pads or swabs.
- A clean towel.
- Lash glue remover (optional).
Procedure:
Prepare Your Workspace: Start by washing your hands thoroughly and ensure you’re working in a clean and well-lit area.
Remove Makeup: Use an oil-based makeup remover to gently clean your eye area. This will help soften the lash adhesive.
Steam Your Face: Lean over a bowl of hot water with a towel draped over your head. This steaming process helps loosen the lash adhesive.
Gently Gently Gently: Using a cotton pad or swab, lightly rub the base of the extensions. If they don’t easily come off, do not force them.
Use Lash Glue Remover (Optional): If needed, you can use a specialized lash glue remover, but be cautious not to get it in your eyes.
Clean and Condition: After removing the extensions, clean your natural lashes and eye area with warm water. Apply a lash conditioner to help nourish your lashes.
