How to Clean Your False Eyelashes
✨ Step 1: Remove Excess Glue
After removing your lashes, gently peel off the leftover glue from the lash band using tweezers. Avoid pulling too hard to prevent damage.
✨ Step 2: Clean with Makeup Remover
Dampen a cotton swab with oil-free makeup remover and gently wipe along the lash band and fibers to remove mascara, glue, and dirt.
✨ Step 3: Rinse and Dry
If your lashes still have residue, lightly rinse them with warm water and let them air dry on a clean tissue. Avoid soaking them, as this can ruin their shape.
How to Store Your False Eyelashes Properly
📌 Place them back in their original case to maintain their curve.
📌 Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent dust and bacteria buildup.
📌 Avoid applying mascara directly to falsies—this makes them harder to clean.
