Lash Extension Aftercare Guid

Why Aftercare Matters?

Clients can sometimes return frustrated when they experience: their lash extensions shedding early, irritation around the lash line. These issues usually stem from poor aftercare. Without the right routine and tools, even top-quality lash sets can disappoint.

This guide will address common problems and provide clear solutions, featuring Lashphemy’s trusted products, so you can help your clients maintain beautiful lash extensions longer.

Solution: Daily cleansing with the Rub‑A‑Dub Lash Cleanser and Lash Cleansing Brush. The cleanser is oil‑free and strengthens adhesive retention, while the soft brush deeply cleanses around the lash line. Use a gentle back‑and‑forth motion, rinse with water, and pat dry.

1. Problem: Irritated, Itchy Eyes or Discomfort

What can happen: Clients experience itchy eyes and dead skin build-up after getting lash extensions.

Why This Happens: Bacteria, oil, and skin-cell debris build up and need to be manually cleaned.

Solution: Teach clients a cleansing routine using Rub‑A‑Dub Cleanser and the dual‑ended Lash Cleansing Brush. These remove irritants without damaging lashes or adhesive bonds. For sensitive eyes, rinse thoroughly until the residue is gone. Simple, consistent cleaning prevents most irritation.

2. Problem: Time‑Consuming Aftercare Routines

What can happen: Clients skip aftercare because it feels like a chore.

Why This Happens: Overly complicated or lengthy routines deter use.

Solution: Propose a simple daily regimen: cleanse with Rub‑A‑Dub using a soft brush, then gently comb lashes with a spoolie or fan. Emphasize a 60‑second morning and evening routine that fits easily into clients' lives. Offer the Lash Cleansing Brush as a travel‑friendly tool.

3. Problem: Extensions Look Oily, Clumpy, or Tangled

What can happen: Clients notice lashes sticking together or appear shiny

Why This Happens: Accumulated oils, lashes touching when sleeping, or not brushing.

Solution: Recommend clients brush their lashes daily with a clean spoolie and suggest using the Handheld Flower Power Fan to gently dry and fluff, reducing tangles and maintaining shape. This also removes oils that have traveled from the skin onto your lashes. Once you remove the oil, your lashes will look as fluffy as the day you first got them (every time you wash!).

4. Problem: Client Confusion About Aftercare

What can happen: Mixed advice leads to inconsistent practices.

Why This Happens: Overwhelmed clients don’t know what rules to follow if they are hearing conflicting recommendations.

Solution: Create a clear, easy-to-follow guide for clients. Include steps such as: cleansing for less than a minute each eye, fan or air dry, then brush the lashes to align them. Avoiding the use of oil‑based products will make it easier to cleanse the area. Reinforce the simplicity of the routine and how it can be integrated into their morning or nightly routine.

Products We Recommend: Cleanse using Rub‑A‑Dub, remove residue with Lash Cleansing Brush, and dry with Flower Power Fan.
