Before your appointment
- Please do not wear any eye makeup to your appointment.
- Wash your hair prior to the appointment. You will need to keep your lashes dry for at least 12 hours.
After your appointment
Basic makeup application and normal lifestyle routine can resume after your eyelash extension application. However, the follow activities should be avoided within the first 3 hours:
- Spray or airbrush tanning
- Exposure to excessive steam
- Exposure to excessive heat
- Contact lens insertion
- Use of non-Xtreme Lashes cosmetics and skincare products that come in contact with the extended eyelashes
Note: To maximize your eyelash extension longevity, only use specially formulated eyelash extension compatible Xtreme Lashes cosmetics and skincare products.
The following activities will weaken adhesive bonds and result in premature eyelash extension loss:
- Use of NON Xtreme Lashes cosmetics and skincare products that come in contact with extended eyelashes
- Use of waterproof cosmetics on or near the extended eyelashes, such as waterproof mascara and eyeliner
- Use of mechanical or heated curlers
- Excessive mascara application
- Excessive exposure to friction
- Excessive rubbing of eyes
- Picking or pulling on extended eyelashes
- Chemical treatments such as eyelash tinting or perming
To prevent damage to your eyelash extensions, care should be taken when receiving any of the following procedures:
- Strong chemical peels or skin resurfacing procedures that come in direct contact with the eye area
- Facial treatments and facial massages that include direct contact with the eye area and extended eyelashes
Note: Always inform your esthetician or medical provider that you are wearing eyelash extensions before any facial procedure begins.
Eyelash Extensions
Microblading
70% of the healed result depends on you and your discipline to maintain correct post-treatment care as recommended by your technician.
Semi-permanent makeup will look very dark and distinct immediately after treatment. The intense color with the new shape of treated area might be slightly overwhelming. The color will fade 40-50% and will look much more natural when healed. Also, a bit of redness and swelling are to be expected immediately after treatment, which should only last 3-4 hours.
30 minutes after the treatment, rinse the eyebrows with neutral soap (children's). Remove all the lymph and previously applied cream by doing so. After that apply a very thin layer of PhiShield.
Repeat this procedure 3 to 5 times during the day. If the treatment was done late in the afternoon and you do not have time to do it 3 to 5 times, put a plastic foil over the eyebrows you previously applied the cream on, so that you protect the eyebrows from drying and wiping overnight.
In the next 7 days, maintain facial hygiene and apply the cream after washing your face or taking a shower. PhiShield can be used on all skin types, due to its natural, active components that regulate oiling.
What is to be avoided:
- All creams, except for the protective PhiShield
- All makeup, including foundation, in the eyebrow area
- Avoid workouts and activities that involve a lot of sweating, sauna, facial, massage and steaming (inhalation)
In the next 30 days:
- Avoid sunbathing, solarium, light therapies, chemical peelings, fruit acids, microderm abrasion, creams that contain regeneration factors
- Always avoid laser treatments over the treated area (fraxel laser, IPL), because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns
- Avoid use of antibiotics and hormonal therapy that can lead to faster pigment fading
- Always protect the eyebrows from the sun with SPF creams and lotions (except within the first 7 days)
Use the following cleansing techniques on eyelash extensions that are applied using either the Single-Layer or the Volumation™ technique:
ALL-OVER CLEANSE
Cleanse your entire orbital eye area quickly and effortlessly using the lint-free Cosmetic Sponges. Saturate your cosmetic sponges with Xtreme Lashes® Eye Makeup Remover & Facial Cleanser, and gently press the sponge onto your eyelash extensions, wiping downwards towards your cheek. Use the other side to cleanse your eyelids.
TARGETED CLEANSE
Cleansing eyelash extensions from base-to-tip
Saturate two Xtreme Lashes® Lint-Free Applicators with Xtreme Lashes® Eye Makeup Remover & Facial Cleanser, and place one above and one below your eyelash extensions. Perform gentle scrubbing motions while moving both applicators along your eyelashes from base-to-tip.
Cleansing in-between eyelash extensions
Saturate a Xtreme Lashes® Long-Tipped Applicator with Xtreme Lashes® Eye Makeup Remover & Facial Cleanser to clean between - and at the bash of your lashes - to remove residual makeup, oils, and debris.
Cleansing and massaging the eyelid
Saturate one or more Xtreme Lashes® Flex Tip Applicators with Xtreme Lashes® Eye Makeup Remover & Facial Cleanser, and massage your lash line and eyelid to promote circulation and healthy natural eyelash growth.
RINSE
Remove any remaining makeup and cleanser by rinsing your entire orbital eye area with water
DRY & STYLE
Dry your eyelash extensions with the Xtreme Lashes® Mini Fan and use the Xtreme Lashes® Deluxe Retractable Lash Styling Wand or a clean, dry Xtreme Lashes® Lint-Free Applicator to fluff and style your eyelash extensions into place.
JO MOUSELLI'S TIP
Xtreme Lashes® Mascara can be applied to your natural bottom eyelashes to maximize and balance your lash look. Do not apply any mascara or Xtreme Lashes® Protective Coating to eyelash extensions applied using the Volumation™ technique. It is not necessary or recommended.
