Your lash lift journey doesn’t end when you leave the salon—it’s just beginning. The beautiful, naturally curled lashes you’ve achieved at Lucia Lash & Brow require specific aftercare to maintain their stunning results and keep your natural lashes healthy. Following the right post-lift habits will ensure your lashes stay lifted, curled, and gorgeous for weeks to come.
The Critical First 24 Hours: Protecting Your Investment
The first day after your lash lift is absolutely crucial for achieving optimal results. During this time, your lashes are still setting into their new shape, making them vulnerable to damage from moisture and heat.
Avoid moisture at all costs during this initial period. This means no water, steam, or humidity should come into contact with your lashes. Skip your usual face wash routine around the eye area, avoid swimming, and resist the urge to splash water on your face. Even tears can potentially affect the lift, so try to avoid emotional movies or onion-chopping sessions for the day.
Stay away from steam and heat sources that could compromise your results. This includes saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga classes, and even steamy showers. When you do shower, try to keep your face away from the direct stream of hot water, or consider using a shower cap to protect your lashes.
Sleep on your back if possible, or use a silk pillowcase to minimize friction against your lashes. Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes, as this can disturb the lift and potentially cause damage to your delicate lashes.
Long-Term Care: Maintaining Your Beautiful Lift
Once you’ve successfully navigated the first 24 hours, maintaining your lash lift becomes much easier with consistent daily habits.
Brush your lashes daily with a clean spoolie brush or lash wand. This simple step helps maintain the lift’s shape and prevents lashes from becoming tangled or crossing over each other. Gently brush upward and outward, following the natural curve of your lift. Make this part of your morning routine—it only takes 30 seconds and makes a significant difference in how your lashes look throughout the day.
Choose oil-free serums and products for the eye area. Oil-based products can break down the lift solution over time, causing your lashes to lose their curl prematurely. When selecting eye makeup removers, moisturizers, or serums, always check the ingredient list and opt for oil-free formulations. Water-based or micellar products are excellent choices that won’t compromise your lift.
Be gentle with makeup application and removal. While you can wear mascara after the first 24 hours, choose a lightweight, water-based formula and apply it carefully. When removing makeup, use gentle, downward motions rather than rubbing back and forth. Consider using a cotton pad or soft cloth specifically designed for delicate eye area cleansing.
Recommended Aftercare Products for Optimal Results
The right products can make all the difference in extending the life of your lash lift and keeping your natural lashes healthy.
Lash conditioning serums specifically formulated for lifted lashes help nourish and strengthen your lashes while maintaining the curl. Look for serums containing peptides, biotin, or keratin—ingredients that support lash health without weighing them down.
Oil-free cleansers are essential for your daily routine. Gentle, foam-based cleansers or micellar water effectively remove makeup and impurities without disrupting the lift. Avoid oil-based cleansers, cream cleansers, or anything with heavy moisturizing properties around the eye area.
Specialized mascara designed for lash lifts can enhance your results without causing damage. These formulas are typically lighter and easier to remove than traditional mascaras, reducing the risk of pulling or damaging your lifted lashes during makeup removal.
Silk or satin pillowcases may seem like a luxury, but they’re actually a practical investment for maintaining your lash lift. These smooth surfaces create less friction than cotton, helping preserve your lift’s shape while you sleep.
