Lash Extensions on Holiday: Your Ultimate Guide to Stunning, Hassle-Free Lashes
Going on holiday should be all about relaxation and fun, and maintaining your beauty routine shouldn't add any stress to your blissful escape. If you're a fan of lash extensions and planning your next getaway, you might wonder how sun, pool, and sea will affect your fabulous flutter! With a little care and some insider tips from Jo at The Aye Lash in Blantyre, your lash extensions can remain as beautiful and effortless as your holiday vibe.
Embrace the Sun, Protect Your Lashes
The sun is a mood booster and the hallmark of any great holiday, but just as you protect your skin with SPF, your lash extensions need protection too. Direct and prolonged exposure to the sun's rays can weaken the lash adhesive, leading to premature shedding. Aye Lash tip? Wear a hat or sunglasses to provide shade and safeguard your lashes from the sun's intensity.
Poolside Perfection: Keep Your Lashes Gorgeous
Pools, especially those treated with chlorine, can be tricky for lash extensions. Chlorine can break down the adhesive over time, risking the longevity of your extensions. The best practice? Avoid submerging your lashes in water. This is something I struggled with at water parks in the past as my husband fell out with me for not wanting to go down flumes [lolz]. If you do take a dip, try goggles or simply keep your head above water to enjoy the pool without compromising your lash game.
Sea Breeze and Lashes at Ease
Saltwater can be a bit of a challenge for lash extensions. Similar to pool water, salt can affect the bond of your lash adhesive. To keep your lashes intact, keep your head above water or wear goggles.
Caring for Your Lashes: Holiday Edition
Of course your lash extensions can travel the world with you, provided they get a bit of TLC. Here are some holiday-specific lash care tips to keep in mind:
- Gentle Cleansing: Use an oil-free cleanser to gently remove any dirt or sunscreen that might have found its way to your lashes. Clean lashes are happy lashes!
- Brushing: Keep a clean, soft spoolie brush on hand to gently comb through your lashes each morning or after a swim. This keeps them looking neat, tidy, and free of tangles.
- Avoid Touching: Resist the urge to rub your eyes or fiddle with your lashes. The oils and residues from your hands can weaken the adhesive, not to mention the risk of pulling out your beautiful extensions.
The Ultimate Holiday Look
Lash extensions can truly be the cherry on top of your holiday look - no mascara or touch-ups required.
So, go ahead, book that holiday, and take your lash extensions along for the ride. With these tips, your lashes will be as ready for adventure as you are!
