How to Safely Remove Eyelash Extension

Eyelash extensions can provide a beautiful, natural-looking enhancement to your eyes. However, when it’s time to remove them, it's crucial to do so safely to avoid damaging your natural lashes. At Ariya Lashes, we recommend following these professional guidelines to ensure a safe removal process.

Should You Remove Eyelash Extensions at Home?

Removing eyelash extensions at home is generally not recommended due to the risk of damaging both the extensions and natural lashes. The removal process involves the use of specific products and techniques designed to dissolve the adhesive bond without harming the delicate natural lashes. Professional technicians possess the expertise and tools necessary to perform this task safely, ensuring that the natural lashes remain intact and unharmed.

Step-by-Step Guide to Safely Remove Eyelash Extensions

1. Gentle Cleaning: Before starting the removal process, gently clean your eye area with a mild, oil-free cleanser. This helps to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil that could interfere with the removal process.
2. Steam Your Face: Fill a bowl with hot water and place your face over the bowl with a towel draped over your head. Allow the steam to soften the adhesive for about 10-15 minutes. This step makes the removal process easier and gentler on your natural lashes.
3. Apply the Eyelash Extension Remover: Using a clean cotton pad, apply a small amount of eyelash extension remover to your closed eyelids. Be careful to avoid getting the remover into your eyes. Let it sit for the time recommended by the product’s instructions (usually around 5-10 minutes).
4. Gently Remove Extensions: After the remover has softened the adhesive, use a spoolie brush to gently comb through your lashes. The extensions should start to slide off. If you encounter resistance, do not pull; instead, apply a bit more remover and wait a few more minutes.
5. Clean Your Natural Lashes: Once all the extensions are removed, clean your natural lashes with a gentle, oil-free cleanser to remove any residual adhesive or remover.
6. Nourish Your Natural Lashes: Apply a nourishing lash serum or conditioner to help strengthen and hydrate your natural lashes after the removal process.

By following this professional guide from Ariya Lashes, you can safely and effectively remove your eyelash extensions. Remember, patience and gentleness are key to maintaining the health of your natural lashes.
