Lash Lift Aftercare: How to Make Your Lash Lift Last Longer
There is nothing better than seeing your lashes freshly lifted for the first time. That wide awake, effortless look is why so many clients love lash lifts.
But the secret to keeping your lashes looking lifted and beautiful for the full six to eight weeks is all in the aftercare, especially in the first 24 hours.
Here is how to take care of your lashes so your lash lift lasts as long as possible.
Enjoy Low Maintenance Lashes
One of the main reasons clients choose a lash lift is because it makes the daily routine so much easier. No lash curler, less mascara, and you still wake up looking bright and fresh.
With proper aftercare, your lash lift can stay looking soft, lifted and natural for weeks.
Can I Wash My Face After a Lash Lift
This is one of the most common questions we get asked.
You should avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours. After that, you can wash your face normally and return to your usual routine.
One of the best things about a lash lift is that once the first day has passed, your lashes are very low maintenance. You can swim, shower and exercise without worrying about your lashes.

The First 24 Hours After Your Lash Lift
For the first 24 hours, your lashes are still setting into their new shape. During this time, it is important to keep your lashes dry and untouched so the lift can fully set.
For the first day, avoid:
- Water
- Steam
- Saunas
- Swimming
- Gym or heavy sweating
- Mascara
- Eye makeup
- Rubbing your eyes
After the first 24 hours, you can return to your normal routine.
This is why many clients choose to book their lash lift before a day off or the weekend, so it is easier to avoid water and steam.
Which One Suits Your Lifestyle
After the first 24 hours, these small habits can help your lash lift last longer and keep your lashes looking neat and lifted.
Brush your lashes gently
Using a clean spoolie brush to brush your lashes each morning helps keep them separated and tidy.
Avoid heavy oil based products
Oil based cleansers and makeup removers can cause the lift to drop faster. A gentle oil free cleanser is usually the best option.
Be gentle with your lashes
Avoid rubbing your eyes or sleeping face down if possible, as this can cause lashes to twist.
Follow recommended treatment timing
Most lash lifts last around six to eight weeks. Getting a new lift too early can over process your lashes, so it is best to follow professional advice on timing.
