What are the benefits of foam lash cleansers over other cleaning methods?
Well-formulated lash cleansers rinse completely and do not leave a residual film on your eyelashes. Be careful of regular makeup removers masquerading as lash-friendly! A great lash shampoo will be be low on sulfate content, meaning it will not remove moisture from your extensions or loosen the bond.
Good lash shampoos are specifically crafted to gently remove dirt, residue and makeup from eyelashes. Using one at least once a day also significantly boosts lash health. Think of the process as similar to washing your scalp and hair to get rid of invisible oil, dandruff and dirt buildup.
Baby shampoo has historically been popular for lash artists to mix with water to give to clients as a homemade remedy. Unfortunately, it can leave a filmy residue, eventually affecting the strength of the lash bond. Johnson & Johnson has explicitly said these shampoos are not designed for extensions. We recommend only looking at products that have the lash extension life and eye health in mind!
