Boise Eyelash Extension Summer Tips

At unDONE Salon, we love eyelash extensions just as much as we love summer! To us, this time of year means lots of sunshine, outdoor fun, and relaxation. With warm nights, BBQ’s, swimming, and gathering with friends and loved ones, what’s not to love about summer?

As Boise eyelash extension professionals, we believe whole-heartily that this trend is one of the best to have ever graced the beauty industry. Why? Women all over the world love the low-maintenance option of being able to wake up and go about their day with little to no makeup. Never before have we had the ability to ditch the time-consuming task of applying eyeliner and mascara or having to deal with it melting and smearing when the temperatures heat up!

That’s why we’d like to provide you with the following eyelash extension tips to keep you looking beautiful and fabulous all summer long!

Rinse & Pat Dry After Swimming

Over the summer, chlorine and saltwater from the swimming pool can affect lash retention. That’s why it’s important to rinse your eyelash extensions with fresh water after swimming, and pat them dry with a soft cloth or towel (without rubbing) to dry.

Avoid Direct Heat

Direct heat and eyelash extensions don’t mix. Not only can it relax your curl, but it can also singe your lashes! When barbecuing or warming up near a toasty campfire, it’s important not to stand too close or directly over the heat. This will ensure your eyelash extensions stay intact and look beautiful.

Use A Towel Or Sweatband

During the summer, it’s almost impossible not to sweat. However, sweat carries the natural oils from your skin that can run into your eyes and affect the retention of your eyelash extensions. At unDONE, we strongly believe in the health benefits of exercise. However, it’s important to protect your lashes by using a towel or sweatband when you’re working out to prevent sweat from running into your eyes.

Keep Eyelash Extensions Clean

Camping, swimming, and hiking during the summer can cause us to get dirty pretty fast. This dirt, sweat, and other debris can collect in your eyelash extensions. That’s why we recommend keeping them as clean as possible by rinsing them off in the shower or using a super gentle lash cleaning solution regularly.

Apply Sunscreen Carefully

At unDONE, we believe sunscreen is an absolute MUST, especially during the dog days of summer. However, it’s important to know that many sunscreen brands contain oil that can run onto your eyelash extension, causing premature shedding. That’s why we recommend applying sunscreen carefully and do your best to avoid the eye area and allow it to fully soak into your skin before spending time outdoors.

Eyelash extensions are a great way to compliment your summertime look. When handled with care, you can wake up day after day with long, lush eyelashes that look completely natural when applied by our Boise eyelash extension professionals. Say goodbye to mascara runs, and “raccoon” eyes at the pool, and say hello to a set of well-placed eyelash extensions!
