Maison de Cils®

Eyelash extension aftercare

At Maison de Cils®, beauty is more than an art, it is a ritual of precision & care. Our aftercare routine embodies the same standards of excellence that define each of our services. With proper maintenance, your eyelash extensions remain as flawless & refined as the day they were applied.

01   Avoid prolonged hot showers

Excessive heat and steam can compromise the adhesive bond, reducing retention and causing the extensions to shed prematurely.

02   Avoid saunas

Intense heat and steam can gradually weaken the adhesive bond, accelerate shedding and affect the carefully designed curl of your extensions.

03   Avoid direct exposure to steam

Facial steamers, boiling water and even the steam released when opening a dishwasher can compromise the adhesive bond. Keep your extensions away from concentrated sources of heat and moisture.

04   Keep your extensions dry for the first 24 hours

Moisture during the initial setting period can interfere with the adhesive bond, potentially causing premature shedding or lashes to adhere together.

05   Keep oil-based formulas away from the eye area

Oils can compromise the adhesive bond and shorten the retention of your extensions. Choose oil-free formulas for all products used around the eyes.

06   Avoid mascara and eyelash curlers

Mascara can alter the finish of your extensions, causing them to clump and compromising their shape. Eyelash curlers exert unnecessary pressure that may bend, weaken or break both the extensions and natural lashes.

07   Handle your extensions with care

Avoid rubbing, pulling or repeatedly touching your extensions. Excessive manipulation can weaken the bond, irritate the eye area and compromise both the extensions and your natural lashes.

08   Brush gently, once or twice daily

A few delicate strokes are all that is required to maintain impeccable alignment. Using a clean spoolie, gently comb through the extensions without pulling or applying pressure.

09   Cleanse with a professional lash cleanser

Clean extensions are essential to beautiful retention. Use a professional-grade cleanser specifically formulated for eyelash extensions to remove impurities and build-up while respecting the adhesive bond and delicate eye area.

10   Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach

Repeated pressure against the pillow can bend, twist or displace your extensions. Whenever possible, sleep on your back to preserve their alignment and carefully sculpted shape.

11   Protect your extensions from prolonged sun exposure

Prolonged exposure to intense sunlight and heat may affect the adhesive bond and curl of your extensions. When tanning or spending extended time outdoors, sunglasses provide an additional layer of protection for both your extensions and eyes.

12   Keep cigarettes away from the eye area

Direct heat and smoke can affect the curl and integrity of your extensions. Light cigarettes at a safe distance and avoid holding them close to the face or eyes.

13   Dry gently and restore their alignment

After cleansing, use a handheld fan on a gentle setting to dry your extensions. Once they are nearly dry, lightly brush through them with a clean spoolie to restore their separation and alignment. Avoid brushing while the lashes are saturated, when they are more vulnerable to unnecessary tension.

14   Maintain your extensions with regular refills

To preserve a beautifully balanced result, schedule your refill appointments every 1 to 3 weeks, according to your natural lash cycle and desired fullness. Regular maintenance replaces extensions that have naturally shed and preserves the harmony, density and precision of your set.

The beauty of your extensions is preserved through the care you give them each day. By following these aftercare recommendations, you protect the precision of your application, prolong its retention and preserve the impeccable finish of your gaze. Should you require personalised guidance, Maison de Cils® remains at your disposal throughout the life of your extensions.
