How to Remove Eyelash Extension?

As one of the most convenient and quick approaches for longer eyelashes, eyelash extension has gained more popularity in our daily life. Since eyelash extension involves attaching artificial eyelashes to natural eyelashes with a semi-permanent glue, it is necessary to remove eyelash extensions with careful handling, otherwise, it will be more likely to tear the natural lashes off. Three effective methods are listed below to prevent you from numerous confusion and concerns on eyelash extension removal.

Use Steam and Oil

In general, stream and oil can be seen as two common and simple ways to help you remove the eyelash extension immediately. Initially, remove mascara and liner with a gentle makeup remover to help you see your natural lashes. The next step is to absorb your face into steam because hot steam will help loose eyelash extensions. You can heat a bowl of water in the microwave at a temperature high enough to create steam. Put your face above the bowl, place a towel over your head and hold the steam around your face. A steam face instrument or hot towel can also be considered as a better choice to let eyelash extension discharge better. Then, moisten a cotton swab with olive oil to make sure the swab is fully saturated, then wipe the root of your eyelashes with a cotton ball, taking care not to touch your eyes. Keep wiping your lashes until all the eyelash extensions have fallen off. After all, don’t forget to wash your eyelashes with warm water softly and carefully.

Remove with Glue Remover

Even though the salon will remove your eye extension more professionally, it is also possible for you to remove it with glue remover at home. As a mild solvent, glue remover is similar to nail polish remover and can be bought in the pharmacy or online. After removing all the makeup, you need to apply a suitable amount of glue remover to the cotton swab, then run the swab along with the eyeliner from the outer contour to the inner contour in a small circle. Then, remover will start to melt the glue, leaving eyelash extension falling off gradually. Next, swab the lash line back and forth approximately 15 times and pinch the roots of the false lashes between your index finger and thumb. Eyelash extension will drop out with a gentile push later. Besides, it is important to wash your eyelashes with warm water to remove the residue from remover.

Reach out for Help from Processionals

If these two approaches fail to help you remove your eyelash extensions successfully, you only place great hopes on the surrounding salon for help. In the salon, all kinds of professional tools and removers can be used to better remove eyelash extensions with high efficiency and avoid some unnecessary damages to your natural eyelashes. Therefore, it is true that the third removal approach is well recommended considering both security and efficiency. After all, there is no denying that professional people do professional things.

Just remember to be extra careful during the whole process and try your best to protect your natural eyelashes from being affected.
