How often should you clean lash extensions?

If you wear lash extensions, cleansing is one of the simplest habits you can build into your routine. Throughout the day, natural oils, makeup, sunscreen, sweat and everyday buildup settle along the lash line. Gentle, regular cleansing helps keep that area fresh and your lashes looking their best.

A good starting rhythm

For most people, cleansing lash extensions daily or every other day works well. Think of it the same way you think about washing your face: a quick, gentle step that becomes second nature.

When to cleanse more often

• After wearing eye makeup
• After sweating or a workout
• After swimming or a day at the beach
• When you notice your lashes feel heavy or look less fluffy

Right after your appointment

Your lash artist will tell you how long to wait before getting your new lashes wet. This is often the first 24 to 48 hours, but always follow the specific aftercare instructions you receive from your artist.

Keep it gentle

Use a small amount of a lash shampoo, a soft cleansing brush or your fingertips, and gentle downward strokes. Rinse well with lukewarm water, let your lashes dry, then brush them into place with a clean spoolie.

A consistent routine is what matters most. Simple, gentle and regular: that is the Velamore way.
