How to remove extension eyelashes at home without harm?

Eyelash extension is a procedure that is chosen by many girls who do not want to spend their time on makeup, but who want to look beautiful 24 hours a day. Eyelash extensions look aesthetically pleasing, give the look a special depth and expressiveness, hold for a long time - 3-4 weeks.

However, in order to maintain the health of their own natural cilia, artificial ones need to be removed from time to time, giving the eyes a break from them. Moreover, it is not necessary to visit the master - you can remove eyelash extensions yourself at home.

In order to carry out the procedure without harm to your cilia, safety precautions must be observed.

• Wash thoroughly, wash hands and face, remove the remnants of makeup so that they do not fall under the eyelids.
• If you purchased a professional eyelash remover, pre-test it on the elbow or behind the earlobe to make sure there is no allergic reaction.
• In case of contact with eyes rinse immediately with running water.
• If the first time you could not remove the cilia, do not try to pluck them with tweezers - It is fraught with damage to natural eyelashes, as well as eyelids. The best solution in this case is re-applying the drug and extending the waiting time for the adhesive to dissolve, after which the artificial hairs can easily peel off with a soft brush.
• To avoid personal injury Do not attempt to remove eyelashes using a toothpick, pin or needle.
• Do not rub your eyelids - so you can injure them and cause blepharitis.It can also adversely affect hair follicles, which can cause natural eyelash growth to stop.
• If you use the drug "Albucid" to remove cilia, in no case do this during pregnancy and lactation.
• Toilet soap, hot water and various tonics will not help you get rid of fake eyelashes however you can provoke a disease of the eyelids easily.
• During the "critical days", and also 2-3 days before and 2-3 days after them, the removal procedure should not be carried out, it can provoke an allergic reaction due to the unstable hormonal background of a woman during this period.
• If you currently have eyelid inflammation, it is forbidden to remove eyelashes.

Gently remove the eyelashes and make it safe for the eyes using certain means.

Debonder is a professional product for removing artificial hairs from the eyelids. They are used by lashmakers in beauty salons. However, it can be used at home, only you need to purchase it in a specialized store. The algorithm for using the tool is as follows.

• Protect the lower eyelid by placing a cotton sponge on it.
• Apply the product on the cilia, doing it gently and evenly. The debonder must absorb fiber well.
• Wait a few minutes (approximately 5-7). After that, you can proceed with the removal using a clean brush from the old carcass.
• When you are sure that the artificial cilia have come off, wipe the eyelid with a special lotion or plain water. This must be done in order to remove the remnants of the drug and avoid its contact with the mucous membrane of the eye.
• If there is a burning sensation in the orbital zone, moisten the sponges with water and attach them to the eyelids. Stay in this position for several minutes.
• Grease natural cilia with burdock or castor oil.

Another specialized tool designed to remove the sticky substance from the eyelids, simultaneously removing artificial eyelashes. May have a gel or cream texture.

Here's how to use it.

• Protect the lower eyelid from the effects of the drug using a cotton pad or a special pad (patch), which can be purchased with a remover in a professional cosmetics store.
• Apply the tool in place of gluing artificial material with natural hairs. If this is a gel, then use a brush: squeeze a small amount of remover (the size of a pea) onto it and coat the roots of the eyelashes, wait 3-5 minutes. A creamy texture product can be squeezed directly onto the gluing area and gently spread it without using a brush. We keep such a remover on the cilia a little longer - up to 6 minutes.
• Getting down to material. To make it easier for you, it is recommended to use two tweezers. Do not squeeze the eyelash too much - you need to carefully pull it off, holding it by the base. Those hairs that cannot be removed are recommended to be re-treated with a remover.
• If it so happened that the master applied a lot of glue to his eyelids The removal procedure will take place in several stages: you apply the product, after the set time, remove part of the cilia, then again treat the gluing place with a remover, wait 5 minutes and remove the remaining hairs.
• After the artificial material is removed, Wipe the eyelid and eyelashes with a damp cotton swab. At the end, remove the patch from the lower eyelid.
• Open your eye, make sure that remnants of the remover are removed.

You can remove eyelash extensions using regular oils. Castor, burdock, sunflower, olive and coconut are best suited for these purposes.

• Castor oil enjoys well-deserved popularity when caring for hair, eyelashes and eyebrows. Removing artificial cilia with it will be a little difficult, since its exposure time is considerable. But you can carry out the procedure by leaving the oil overnight: the effect will be good, and natural eyelashes will receive an additional charge of nutrients.
• The action of burdock oil similar to the previous one, and it also has a positive effect on natural hairs.
• Sunflower oil perfectly dissolves glue and with it you can very quickly get rid of artificial cilia.
• Olive oil not only helps you remove the built-up material, but also takes care of the skin of the face, without causing the slightest irritation.
• Coconut oil gently removes the sticky substance, nourishes the skin around the eyes and gives splendor to natural eyelashes.

The algorithm for removing artificial hairs from the eyelids using any oil is as follows.

• We make a steam bath for the face (with or without herbs). The main thing here is the temperature effect.
• We cut a cotton sponge in half and cut a recess in each part so that the cotton wool fits snugly into the eyelid.
• We slightly heat the selected oil, carefully impregnate them with these sponges and put them under the lower cilia. Grease the upper ones with oil using a cotton swab.
• We are waiting for at least 30 minutes. However, if you use castor or burdock oil, you can leave it all night, only you have to sleep on your back.
• After the waiting time is over, your task - gently twirling artificial cilia at the base, remove them.
• Residual oil can be removed with a paper towel., then wash yourself using your daily means.

• Wash thoroughly by removing makeup from your face.
• Prepare a steam bath in advance. To do this, heat the water, bringing its temperature to 80 ° C, and then pour the liquid into a deep bowl.
• Bend your face over the container, cover your head with a thick terry towel. Steam should cover your face, but do not burn, so do not bend too low above the water.
• The procedure takes 15 minutes.
• Next, apply a few drops of oil (any of which we spoke about earlier) to the sponge and treat the cilia with it. Artificial hairs peel off without difficulty.
• Wash your face, rinse off excess oil. Pat your skin with a towel.
• Apply any nutrient to the cilia.

Eye drops “Albucid” (sodium sulfacyl) are used not only to treat eye inflammation, but also as a remover that dissolves the sticky substance with which eyelashes are attached to the eyelids. Use drops as follows.

• Take a cotton swab, moisten it thoroughly in "Albucid" and treat the gluing area.

A professional lashmaker is familiar with the nuances of the process of removing extended eyelashes and does this without harming your natural ones. How to do it right at home?

• Never pull out artificial hairs with force. So you hurt yourself and damage the hair follicles.
• Use only a brush (from an old mascara or special, silicone), tweezers for eyebrows, cotton pads and sticks.
• After removing the material, let the natural cilia “rest”. Do not build up new ones for at least one and a half to two months.
• Devote time to rest and nourish and restore hair. Treat them with oils, comb. So the cilia can again become strong, shiny and thick.
• If you use professional products for removal (remover, debonder), apply them only to the closed eye. If you suddenly feel uncomfortable, immediately rinse it with running water.
• Always test for an allergic reaction, especially if you purchased a new, previously unused drug.

Before you add eyelashes, you need to make sure that the selected master uses only quality certified materials that his workplace is always clean and tidy, and he is familiar with sanitary norms firsthand. Further, if suddenly during the process of building you feel discomfort (burning, swollen eyelids, difficulty breathing, etc.), do not hesitate to interrupt the procedure by telling the master about your feelings. It could very well be allergic reaction, the consequences of which are sometimes very sad.

In order to restore a healthy and attractive appearance of your natural eyelashes after removing the extensions, experts advise the following care procedures.

• Get a special serum to restore the structure of eyelashes, strengthen the roots, accelerate growth. There are products on sale that include usma juice - a very useful plant that is popular in the countries of the East. Usma makes the eyelashes thick and dark, contributes to the awakening of the "sleeping" hair follicles.
• If you do not want to spend money on such serum, make nourishing masks for cilia using castor, burdock, peach, olive, linseed oil, as well as grape seed oil. Apply them gently, spreading along the entire length with a cotton swab. Make sure that oil does not get into your eyes - it does not wash off with water.
• The same effect can be obtained using nettle broth. It is prepared as follows: a tablespoon of grass must be poured with boiling water, insist 20 minutes, cool and lubricate the cilia, moistened with a cotton swab in the broth.
• Vitamin A and Group B intake will contribute to the activation of eyelash growth.
• Eating natural foods - sour cream, eggs, tomatoes, carrots, various oils - excellent help in nutrition and strengthening eyelashes.
