Summer Lash Care Tips: Keep Your Lashes Flawless in the Heat ☀️

Summer is all about sunshine, vacations, and soaking up every golden moment—but all that heat, sweat, and water can take a toll on your lash extensions if you’re not careful. Whether you're hitting the beach, lounging poolside, or dancing the night away, your lashes deserve to look flawless through it all. Here's how to keep your lash game strong during the summer months.

1. Avoid Heat and Steam in the First 24–48 Hours

Right after your lash appointment, it's crucial to avoid heat, sweat, steam, and water. This is the bonding period where your lash glue sets completely. That means skipping saunas, hot yoga, and those long, steamy showers—just for a bit!

2. Protect Your Lashes at the Pool & Beach

Chlorine and saltwater can weaken the lash adhesive. While your extensions won’t fall off instantly, repeated exposure can definitely shorten their lifespan. If you're planning a swim, consider wearing goggles or keeping your eyes above water to protect your lashes.

3. Keep Oil-Free Products on Deck

Oil-based makeup removers, sunscreens, or skincare products can break down the lash glue. Opt for oil-free formulas around your eyes and check ingredient labels before slathering anything near your lash line.

4. Cleanse Daily with a Lash-Safe Cleanser

Summer sweat and sunscreen can cause build-up on your lash line. Keep your lashes healthy and fresh by cleansing them daily with a lash-safe cleanser. Use a soft brush and be gentle—you want to clean, not scrub.

5. Use a Lash Spoolie to Fluff & Separate

Humidity can cause lashes to stick together or look wonky. A quick brush with a clean lash spoolie every morning (and after a dip in the pool) will keep them looking full, fluffy, and photo-ready.

6. Skip the Mascara

With lash extensions, you really don’t need mascara—and in the heat, it’s more likely to melt, smear, and cause build-up. If you must use it, make sure it's extension-safe and only apply it to the tips—not the base.

7. Book Regular Fills

Your lashes naturally shed faster in the summer due to heat and oil production. To keep them looking their best, stay on top of your fill appointments—every 2 to 3 weeks is ideal during the summer season.

Keep It Cool and Lash On 😎

Taking a little extra care of your lashes during the summer heat will keep them looking fresh, full, and flawless—so you can focus on enjoying every sun-drenched moment. Your lashes are an investment—treat them like the VIPs they are!
