5 Summer Care Tips for Lash Extensions

Summer is finally here, and with the festive season kicking off, it’s the perfect time to enhance your natural beauty and feel confident for all your holiday plans! Whether you’re soaking up the sun in Sydney or embracing Melbourne’s unpredictable weather, lash extensions are your secret weapon for an easy, pretty morning routine.

Here’s how to keep your lashes looking their best all summer long:

1. Rinse After Swimming

Saltwater and chlorine can affect your lashes, causing buildup or shedding. After swimming, rinse your lashes with clean water and gently pat them dry. No rubbing!

For an extra fresh feeling, try our Foaming Lash Cleanser—it helps keep your lashes clean and ready for summer fun.

2. Use Oil-Free Sunscreen

Sunscreen is essential, but make sure it’s oil-free. Oils can weaken the bond of the lash extensions, so avoid applying sunscreen directly on the lash line. This way, you’ll keep both your skin and lashes safe!

3. Clean Your Lashes & Avoid Oil

Your eyelids naturally produce oil, so cleaning your lashes regularly is key. Use our Lash Foaming Cleanser to gently remove oils and impurities. When removing makeup, dip a cotton tip in oil-free makeup remover and carefully clean around your lashes—avoid makeup wipes as they can snag your extensions. Don’t forget to brush your lashes with a spoolie both morning and night to keep them looking their best!

4. Protect Lashes from Heat

To keep your lashes looking their best, use a lash sealant. It’s like sunscreen for your lashes, offering an extra layer of protection from heat and humidity while helping your lashes last longer. Pair it with your favourite sunglasses, and you’re ready for BBQs and sunny days!

5. Book Your Refills More Often

Sweat, heat, and natural oils can cause lashes to shed faster during the summer months. To keep your lashes looking pretty and full, book your refills every 2–3 weeks instead of the usual 3–4 weeks. Pre-booking your refills makes your schedule stress-free and ensures you’re always ready for your next event!

Bonus Tip: Skip the Strip Lashes!

It might be tempting to add strip lashes over your extensions, but they can leave glue residue that's tough to remove and could damage your natural lashes. If you want a fuller, naturally beautiful look, Hybrids or Volume lashes are the way to go!

And here’s the must-have for all lash extension users: our Lash Serum. It’s the perfect addition to your routine, designed to keep your lashes strong, healthy, and naturally full. Packed with peptides, it promotes fast growth and is totally safe for your extensions. Plus, it's vegan and cruelty-free! It's the perfect way to keep your lashes looking gorgeous and is a great Christmas gift for all the lash lovers out there!
