Expert Q&A
Tips
- Use an oil-based makeup remover to take off any eye makeup and wash your face before you apply any petroleum jelly. This will make sure your lashes are clean, and the oil will help soften the adhesive holding them on.[10]Thanks
- Try steaming your face for about 10 minutes beforehand (a hot shower works too). The steam will help cleanse the skin around your eyes and hydrate your skin.[11]Thanks
- Remove your extensions in front of a well-lit mirror, especially if you’re removing them for the first time.Thanks
Warnings
- Never pull, tug, or tweeze eyelash extensions out. If you do, you risk damaging your natural lashes (maybe even permanently). If they’re not loose, leave them in.Thanks
- If you get petroleum jelly in your eyes, you might experience temporary irritation or blurred vision. Use artificial tears to flush it out and see a doctor if any irritation or impairment persists.[12]Thanks
