Summer is the season to enjoy the sun, the beach and holidays, but it's also the time when you may face some challenges when it comes to maintaining your eyelash extensions. High temperatures, sun exposure and summer activities can affect the appearance and durability of your lashes. In order to keep your eyelash extensions in pristine condition, it's important to look after them properly. Discover some valuable tips that will help you enjoy beautiful, long-lasting lashes, no matter how hot it gets outside!

Protect your eyelash extensions from the sun and high temperatures

 

If you want to enjoy a flawless look all summer long, it's important to opt for quality eyelash extensions and protect them from the sun and heat. Exposure to strong sunlight and high temperatures this season can affect the adhesion and durability of the glue. Here are some tips to protect your eyelash extensions in these conditions:

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun - as much as possible, try to avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours when the intensity of solar radiation is highest (usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.) Instead, seek natural shade or protect yourself by using a hat or umbrella;
  • Use sunglasses with UV protection - if you still spend time outdoors during peak hours, opt for sunglasses with UV filters. Not only do they protect your eyes from harmful UV rays, but they can also be a great accessory to protect your eyelashes and prevent damage. Oversized models are ideal for added protection;
  • Try not to use greasy cosmetics - during summer, avoid applying cosmetics such as creams or greasy oils to the eye area. These can affect the adhesion of your extensions and cause them to come off prematurely.

Avoid contact with salt or chlorinated water

Salt or chlorinated water can have harmful effects on eyelash extensions and affect their durability. Because of certain chemical compounds, it can weaken the glue used to apply the extensions and lead to premature shedding of the strands. Salt water can also dry out natural eyelashes, which will affect the appearance of the extensions.

To prevent eyelash extensions from coming into contact with salt water in the sea or chlorinated water in swimming pools, it is important to take a few precautions. If you plan to spend time in the water or swimming, wear a pair of goggles to avoid direct contact. Avoid diving in completely, and if you accidentally wet your extensions, use a clean towel to gently dab the area.

If you want to cool down on hot summer days, you can use a spray bottle filled with fresh water to splash your body from time to time. Choose to enter the water with just your feet, or up to your waist, in a quiet area where there's no risk of people accidentally splashing you.

Clean your eyelashes regularly

 

You usually spend more time outdoors in summer, so dust and dirt can build up on your lashes more easily. That's why it's important to maintain proper hygiene and clean your lashes daily. Opt for a specially designed product, such as an eyelash extension cleansing foam. Apply it according to the manufacturer's instructions and always use gentle upward strokes. Pay special attention to the base of the lashes, where residue and oils usually accumulate.

Avoid rubbing the eye area or tugging on the lashes to prevent damage. Repeat this process at regular intervals, preferably every day, to keep lashes clean and healthy. You can also use other eyelash-cleaning accessories, such as disposable brushes, to comb and groom your lashes. By cleaning properly and regularly, you'll keep your eyelash extensions in great condition and enjoy a long-lasting flawless look.

Schedule maintenance sessions

Maintenance sessions are essential to maintain the look and health of your eyelash extensions, especially during the summer when exposure to external factors is significant. Schedule regular appointments for proper care and prevent any problems or complications.

The optimal interval between maintenance sessions depends on a number of factors, such as the type of extensions, lifestyle and specific activities carried out in the warm season. In general, it is recommended to schedule a session every 2-3 weeks, but this can vary depending on your needs. For example, if you spend a lot of time in the water, you may need to schedule maintenance sessions more frequently.

Finally, follow the recommendations of the specialists and use quality products from Barhat to keep your eyelash extensions healthy and shiny during the summer. With these tips, you'll be able to enjoy arched, flawless-looking lashes and shine every day of the summer season!
