Lamination of eyelashes is increasingly attracting the attention of the female half of the population. This procedure gives impressive results, but only subject to certain rules. It is important not only to perform all stages of lamination in a quality manner. Of great importance is the observance of the rules for eyelash care after the procedure, for example, you should not allow contact with water for a certain time.
Features of the procedure
The essence of the lamination procedure is to apply a special keratin-based nutrient to the eyelashes. The compositions used differ from different manufacturers, but the principle of their use and the rules for leaving after the procedure are the same for all cases. The composition with which the eyelashes are processed is fixed during the day, and the hairs are restored.
The shape of the eyelashes during this period is unstable, so it can easily change from mechanical influence.
During lamination, the applied composition reveals the scales of the hairs. Their complete closure lasts 24 hours. At the same time, each hair is saturated with useful components. When water gets in, they are easily washed off, so the cilia cannot receive the necessary portion of nutrients.
If during this time at least a little moisture gets on the eyelashes, the effect of lamination will be reduced several times or reduced to zero. Moreover, the duration of the result will be significantly reduced.
Also, the hairs will lose their acquired shine, they will retain their shape worse and lose the beautiful bend that is attached to the eyelashes during lamination.
When can I wash my face?
Eyelashes should not be in contact with water throughout the day.It is important to withstand this time completely. Do not assume that a few hours will not play a big role. The ban applies not only to washing, but also to visiting the pool, baths and saunas, sea vacations. Even crying and falling in the rain is undesirable during this time. In a word, it is necessary to completely eliminate the contact of eyelashes with moisture in any of its manifestations.
After 24 hours, you can gently moisten your face with water, but not cold and not hot, but at room temperature. Accordingly, contrast washing should also be forgotten. After such an easy wash, you can slightly dab your face with a towel or let the skin dry on its own. It is strictly forbidden to rub and put strong pressure on the skin of the face.
For washing with further care, you need to choose foams and light, special means in the form of a gel. You can also use micellar water to cleanse your skin. This assumption does not apply to the eyes.
All products for washing should have a gentle composition without aggressive components that could harm eyelashes.
