Removing false lashes properly is important to avoid damaging your natural lashes and the false lashes themselves. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to remove false lashes safely:
Materials Needed:
- Oil-free makeup remover or micellar water
- Cotton swabs or pads
- Tweezers (optional)
Steps:
-
Prepare Your Workspace: Make sure you have a clean and well-lit area to work. Have your makeup remover and cotton swabs or pads within reach.
-
Apply Makeup Remover: Soak a cotton swab or pad with oil-free makeup remover or micellar water. If you prefer, you can use a gentle eye makeup remover specifically designed for lash removal.
-
Gently Dab Along the Lash Band: Close your eyes and gently dab the soaked cotton swab or pad along the lash band. This helps to loosen the adhesive.
-
Wait for a Moment: Allow the makeup remover to sit for a moment. This gives it time to dissolve the lash adhesive, making it easier to remove the false lashes.
-
Gently Peel Off the Lashes: Using your fingertips or tweezers, grip the outer edge of the false lashes near the band. Be very gentle to avoid pulling on your natural lashes. Peel the lashes from the outer corner toward the inner corner.
-
Remove Any Remaining Adhesive: If there's still adhesive on the lash band or your natural lashes, you can use the cotton swab or pad with makeup remover to gently dissolve and remove it.
-
Clean the False Lashes (Optional): If you plan to reuse the false lashes, you can use a separate cotton swab with makeup remover to clean any remaining makeup or adhesive from the lash band.
-
Clean Your Natural Lashes: After removing the false lashes, you can use a clean cotton swab or pad with makeup remover to clean any residual adhesive from your natural lashes.
Tips:
-
Be Patient: Take your time during the removal process to avoid tugging or pulling on your lashes.
-
Use Gentle Products: Choose an oil-free makeup remover or micellar water to avoid damaging the false lashes or irritating your eyes.
-
Store Lashes Properly: If you plan to reuse the lashes, store them in their original packaging or a designated lash case to maintain their shape and cleanliness.
By following these steps, you can safely and effectively remove false lashes without causing harm to your natural lashes or the false lashes themselves.
