Heat, humidity, and increased activity can all impact the longevity of your lashes. However, with care, you can enjoy your lash extensions without worry.
The Sun and Your Lashes
Just like your skin, your lashes can suffer from sun damage. Excessive exposure to UV rays can dry out your natural lashes and weaken the bond between your extensions and natural lashes. Wearing sunglasses and a hat can help protect your lashes when spending extended periods outdoors.
Sweat and Humidity
Summertime often means increased sweat and humidity. While sweat is normal, excessive perspiration can break down the lash adhesive, causing premature lash loss. Humidity can also affect the adhesive’s performance, leading to weakened bonds. To combat these issues, cleanse your lashes gently with a lash-safe cleanser daily.
Natural Lash Cycle
Warmer weather can also accelerate your natural hair growth cycle, leading to a higher eyelash turnover rate. Your extensions may shed more quickly than usual. Regular infills during the summer months can help maintain your desired lash look.
Tips for Lash Care in Summer
- Protect from the sun: Wear sunglasses and a hat to shield your lashes from harmful UV rays.
- Cleanse regularly: Use a lash-safe cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and sweat.
- Avoid oily products: Steer clear of oil-based skincare and makeup near your eyes.
- Be gentle: Avoid rubbing or pulling your lashes.
- Regular infills: Schedule appointments to maintain your lash fullness.
Enjoy beautiful lashes all summer long. Remember, proper care can help to maintain the health of your natural lashes and the longevity of your extensions.
