Gen Z beauty lovers across Australia are clamoring for reusable lashes right now. You can perfectly switch between soft glam and everyday natural looks with affordable and sustainable choices. But remember, you still need a simple lash care routine for reusable lashes to keep them fresh and comfortable that protects both the lashes and your eyes.
Why Reusable Lashes Need Special Care
Made with finer and softer materials than disposable strips, reusable lashes are becoming the favorite choice of Gen Z beauty lovers. They need gentler handling than strips to give you a more natural look and feel lighter. Why is this article important for you? Because some people have no idea how to take care of their reusable lashes. They pull off glue too aggressively, soak lashes in harsh product, and store them loosely in makeup bags; these acts shorten their lash lifespan.
Dr. Dendy Engelman explains, "Properly cleaning and caring for false lashes is essential, because buildup of makeup and adhesive can lead to irritation or even eye infections." So it's clear, right? Cleaning and caring for your reusable lashes is mandatory. Because they are not only last longer but also safer for your eyes.
Step-by-Step Lash Care Routine
1. Before-Wear Prep
Clean lids should be your starting step. Reusable lashes grip better and avoid early lifting on the surface of oil-free skin. For both press-on lashes and cluster lashes, this starting step is mandatory.
2. Cleaning After Each Use
Dissolve leftover adhesive with gentle care by using any oil-free remover and a cotton swab. Light pressure should be enough; never soak your lashes.
3. Safe Adhesive Removal
Soften the glue with remover and slide it off carefully to avoid bending the band, never pull with your fingers.
4. Drying and Reshaping
Let your lashes air-dry and place them on a clean surface. You can wrap it around your finger for a few seconds to restore its curve whenever the band loses shape.
Best Storage Practices
Your lashes will still be hygienic and hold their shape if you always keep them in good storage.
- Why storage matters: To prevent accidental bending, dust, and bacteria.
- Tools to use: Keep lashes in a small lash-safe container or their original Char Cosmetics case.
- How to prevent damage: Avoid moisture buildup by always making sure they're fully dry before being stored.
Products to Avoid
Reusable lashes are delicate, so avoid anything that breaks down the fibers or band.
Avoid anything that breaks down the fibers or band to make sure your reusable lashes are delicate.
- Oils: Warp lash shape and weaken adhesive.
- Harsh cleansers: Can stiffen the fibers and frizz them.
- Waterproof mascara: Difficult to remove without damage and clings too strongly.
When to Replace Your Reusable Lashes
Remember, reusable lashes don't last forever, even with the best care. Replace them whenever:
- The band is already too soft or misshapen
- Clumping and shedding fibers
- They no longer sit comfortably on the lash line
Eye safety always comes first, if they feel irritated when used, retire them immediately.
