For best results, plan to wash your lashes daily.

Start by washing your hands thoroughly with a mild, oil-free cleanser. This ensures that your hands are clean before touching your lashes.

Wet a clean lash cleansing brush (a fluffy eyeshadow brush will do the trick) with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of gentle, oil-free facial cleanser or foam cleanser specifically formulated for lash extensions on the cleansing brush or directly on the lash line. Avoid using any oil-based or waterproof makeup removers, as they can break down the adhesive. Gently cleanse the lash line and extensions by lightly massaging the cleanser along the lashes.

Be careful not to rub or tug at the lashes.

Pay attention to the base of the extensions where dirt, debris, and makeup tend to accumulate.

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, ensuring that all cleanser residue is completely removed.

Again, be gentle and avoid excessive rubbing. Gently pat your lashes dry with a clean, lint-free towel or use a soft, disposable paper towel.

Let lashes air dry or use a hair dryer with a cool shot function or small fan to dry lashes. Once dry, brush gently with a spoolie.
