Leave Waterproof Mascara at Home
While waterproof mascara can seem like a ‘must’ because of the way it can help enhance your lashes through wind, rain, humidity and more, the truth is, it’s a no-no for your lash extensions.
Why?
Simply put, the ingredients that are necessary to make the mascara waterproof are damaging to the bond that holds your lushes lashes on. Plus, when you go to remove waterproof mascara, you’ll need to do so with an oil-based cleanser - which is like a one-two punch for your lash bond. Oil based cleansers also serve to break the adhesive apart.
So, while waterproof mascara seems like a great choice for travel, the truth is that it’s never a good idea to combine it with the lash extensions that you and your lash artist have so carefully selected and applied.
Protect your lash investment, and leave the waterproof mascara at home.
Deepen Your R&R and Protect Your Lash Extensions with an Eye Mask
Changes in climate when you’re on the ground are one consideration, but have you thought about what happens at altitude?
When you fly, the air within the cabin tends to be drier. The trouble with dry air is that it has the potential to make the bond between your lashes brittle, leading to poor lash retention (note: colder climates are more prone to lash damage for this reason too).
Keep your lashes protected and extend their longevity under low humidity conditions by using a comfortable eye mask.
Chances are, the mask will actually do double duty for you - first off by protecting your lashes, and secondly by ensuring that you seize each moment to relax. Plus, you never know when the mask will come in handy at your destination. Sometimes a blackout mask is perfect for ensuring you get some sleep,
Just note that not any old sleep mask will do.
For extension wearers, masks with a ‘cupped’ area over the eye prevents the mask from pushing and pulling on your lashes. And some people also like to combine a cupped eye mask with silk fabric, claiming that doing so also provides anti-wrinkle protection too.
Make Lash Care Part of Your Care Routine On the Go
