Sleeping with Eyelash Extensions

Lash extensions are a popular beauty trend that can make your eyes look bigger and more dramatic. However, one common concern among lash extension wearers is how to sleep comfortably without damaging their lashes. Here are some tips on how to sleep with lash extensions:

• Avoid sleeping on your stomach or side

The position you sleep in can make a big difference in how your lash extensions hold up overnight. Sleeping on your stomach or side can cause friction between your lashes and the pillow, leading to premature shedding. Try sleeping on your back instead.

• Use a silk or satin pillowcase

A silk or satin pillowcase is gentle on your lashes and reduces friction while you sleep. Unlike cotton, which can be rough and cause tangling, silk and satin are smooth and won't snag your lashes.

• Use a lash extension pillow

If you have trouble sleeping on your back, consider investing in a lash extension pillow. These pillows have a curved design that allows you to sleep comfortably on your side without squishing your lashes.

• Avoid rubbing your eyes

Rubbing your eyes can cause your lash extensions to become dislodged or fall out prematurely. If your eyes feel itchy or irritated, use a clean spoolie brush to gently comb through your lashes instead of rubbing them.

• Only use mascara that is specially formulated for lash extensions

Instead of using regular mascara on your lash extensions, only use mascara specially formulated for this purpose, such as The Lashe Mascara . Applying regular mascara can cause clumping and weaken the bond between your natural lashes and extensions.

1. Be gentle when washing your face

When washing your face, be careful not to get your lash extensions wet. Use a gentle cleanser like The Lashe Cleansers and avoid rubbing your eyes or lashes too hard. Pat your face dry with a soft towel and use a spoolie brush to gently comb through your lashes afterwards.

By following these tips, you can sleep comfortably and keep your lash extensions looking great for longer. Remember to also follow the aftercare instructions provided by your lash technician to ensure the longevity and health of your lashes.
