Minimum lash length for Lash Lift
The eyelashes should be a minimum of a half centimetre long in order to do the service safely. If your eyelashes do not quite meet the required length, try using a lash enhancement serum for 8 weeks in preparation for your Lash Lift.
Is tinting the lashes safe?
Lash tint is safe. We use specialized dyes on eyelashes that have a relatively lower peroxide content of 3% as opposed to hair dye. The role of peroxide is to open up the seal of the hair.
Relatively speaking, the 3% found in the specialized tint is very mild. It won’t completely open the hair, just enough to deposit the colour.
Tips to achieve healthier eyelashes
Removing your makeup properly is very important when growing the lashes naturally. Make sure that your lashes are properly cleansed down to the base.
Remember, the more obstruction you have along that area, the harder it will be for that hair to grow to its fullest potential. Avoid using very drying agents around the eyes. For example, some makeup removers can be very drying which is going to make the lashes a lot more brittle.
Try to avoid astringent or alcohol-based makeup remover on the eyes. Use conditioning serums that will feed your lashes with proper ingredients. Castor oil is a common ingredient in brow and eyelash conditioners. It is known to help promote length and volume in the eyebrows and lashes.
Lash Lift Care Instructions
Maintain your lash lift by following the recommended aftercare. Avoid water, steam, makeup for the first 48 hours. After that, try to use mild cleansers around the eyes. Avoid strong astringents or alcohol-based and oil-based eye makeup removers.
Located in Old Strathcona, Dérmica offers Lash Lift services. A Lash Lift is a natural eyelash enhancement. It creates curl using a reverse perming process. Lash Lifts last around 8 weeks. Taking good care of your lashes after a Lash Lift will help them last to their full potential.
Lash Maintenance
Don’t worry, it’s easy! The cardinal rule is keeping the eyelashes dry for 48 hours immediately after your Lash Lift. After that, maintenance mainly consists of cleaning and brushing.
Maintaining a youthful appearance through the eyelashes
There are so many ways that we age. For example, our eyes and lips get smaller, our noses and ears grow. Plus, we start growing hair in undesired areas, and the hair we want starts to thin! This includes eyebrows and eyelashes. So, Lash Lift or no Lash Lift, if you would like to preserve your eyelashes, we have some tips for you.
Cleanse
Help your eyelashes fight the aging process by cleaning them with a gentle cleanser after having worn mascara or eyeliner. This is a good way to keep your eyelashes as strong and thick as possible as you age.
We recommend the Lily Anne Foam Bubble Wash and Cleansing Brush. Apply in small circular motions, gently work 1/2 pump of wash over lashes with your lash brush.
Treat
Treating the eyelashes with a growth serum is recommended for those 30 years of age plus. This is because this is the time that our lashes start thinning. Try the Adoreyes Eyelash Enhancing Serum. Apply to clean lash line, 1-2 times daily.
Makeup
Stick to mineral-based mascara whenever possible. It’s hard to find waterproof mascara that washes away with ease. Usually, there is a price to pay for waterproof mascara. That is, they ate hard to remove. We recommend the Glo Skin Beauty Waterproof Mascara. This mineral-based mascara gives non-flaking, smudge proof, waterproof all day wear, while washes away with ease.
