Lash Extensions 101: How to Care for Your Lashes Like a Pro
Lash extensions are the ultimate beauty boost—low-maintenance, high-impact, and effortlessly glamorous. But like any investment, they need the right care to stay flawless between fills. At Grassroots Salon and Spa, we use Borboletta Beauty products for both professional application and at-home maintenance, so your lashes stay clean, healthy, and full of life.
Here’s everything you need to know about keeping your lash extensions fresh and fabulous.
Why Cleaning Lash Extensions Is Essential
Cleansing your lash extensions daily prevents oil, dirt, makeup, and bacteria from building up along the lash line. Not only does this reduce the risk of irritation or infection, but it also helps your extensions last longer and stay looking their best.
How to Clean Lash Extensions (The Right Way)
Step 1: Use a Lash-Safe Cleanser We recommend Borboletta’s Lash Bath—a gentle, oil-free cleanser formulated specifically for lash extensions. It lifts away buildup without compromising retention.
Step 2: Apply with a Cleanser Brush Use a soft Borboletta Cleansing Brush to gently work the Lash Bath into your lash line in small, circular motions with your eyes closed.
Step 3: Rinse with Water Use clean, lukewarm water to rinse away the cleanser. Tilt your head to avoid water entering your eyes.
Step 4: Pat Dry Gently blot your lashes dry with a lint-free towel or tissue. Avoid rubbing or tugging.
Step 5: Fluff & Separate Once dry, use a Borboletta Lash Wand to brush and reshape your lashes, keeping them fluffy and evenly spaced.
