Lash extensions and lifts can enhance your look - but they also leave your eyes more vulnerable to dryness and irritation. Whether you’re new to lash treatments or a regular, these three expert-backed tips will help you keep your eyes comfortable, hydrated, and healthy - without disrupting your lash results.
1. Use Red LED Light After Cleansing to Help Soothe the Eye Area
If you own a red LED device - like a face mask or our Heated Eye Wand LED+ - use it after cleansing to gently support eye area health. Red LED light is known for its antibacterial properties and may help reduce inflammation around the eyes. It’s a lash-safe way to add protection without disturbing lash glue or the lift effect.
✅ Tip: Always check that your device is safe to use near the eyes without goggles. Not all LED tools are created equal.
2. Apply a Daily Preservative-Free Eye Spray to Rebalance Moisture
Lash treatments often disrupt your natural tear film, which can cause dryness, redness, or irritation. A great fix? Use a preservative-free lubricating eye spray or drop each day to restore hydration. For example, our Instant Relief Eye Spray is:
- Safe for lash extensions and lifts
- Made with sodium hyaluronate and wild-harvested sea buckthorn
- Trusted by lash professionals
- Gentle enough for frequent use, thanks to its preservative-free formula
💧 Why preservative-free matters:Repeated exposure to preservatives (like benzalkonium chloride) can worsen dry eye and weaken lash adhesives.
3. Don’t Rub Your Eyes - Try This Lash-Safe Soothing Technique Instead
Rubbing your eyes after a lash lift or extension can loosen lashes, irritate your eyes, or even scratch your cornea. If you feel discomfort:
- Blink rapidly to activate your natural tear flow
- Gently pull your upper eyelid over your lower lid while looking up - this can naturally remove small irritants
- Use saline or preservative-free eye drops or spray to flush out stubborn debris
- If you must rub, do it only on the outer corner of your eye - not the center
