As a woman, one of the essential steps to living a healthy life is keeping fit. Do you know lash extensions can keep you looking fabulous while you exercise and sweat out the toxins?
But, with the question going around town: is it advisable to exercise with my lash extensions? you may want to pay attention to this blog post.
Let’s be realistic. You spent a well-deserved sum of money on your lash extensions. The last thing you would expect is to have the lash extensions come off during your exercise routine.
If you are worried about ruining your lash extensions, I have compiled five tips for you to consider when exercising with lash extensions.
Do not break the 24-hour rule
The lash glue requires a waiting period as it draws moisture from the air to dry. So, what happens while you are exercising and the lash extensions get exposed to sweat?
Sweat during an exercise routine is inevitable. When sweat comes in contact with your lash extensions before the end of the 24-hour waiting time. It weakens the lash bond and could lead to the extension falling off.
Stick to the golden 24-hour rule of setting. Perform low-impact exercises that would cut down the risk of sweat coming in contact with the lash extensions.
Stay off the application of creams and sunblock
During an intense exercise regimen, the buildup of your beauty products—like creams or sunblock—can trickle down your forehead and straight into your lash extensions. The oil from these beauty products can clump the lashes together, leading to zero retention and loss of the lashes.
If you are worried about harmful rays and keeping your lashes dried during an exercise routine, you can use natural mineral powder SPF for your face.
Protect with a sealant
Before you begin your workout routine, protect your lash extensions with a sealant. Apply the sealant 30 minutes before you begin your routine.
A lash sealant provides an extra covering for your natural lashes. It also increases the lifespan of the lash glue and keeps the extensions in place over a long period.
Cleanse the Lash Extensions
Always remember to cleanse your lash extensions after every exercise session. Never skip out on the clean-up routine or you may be on the way to leading your lash extensions to a premature death.
The salt and oil leavings from sweat can impair the lash extensions if you don’t cleanse the extensions—immediately—after a workout session. Use a lash extension safe cleanser or shampoo to remove the salts and re-hydrate the lashes.
Keep Away from Hot Showers, Steam, and Saunas
Remember the 24-hour golden rule? Hot environments will degrade the bond of your lash glue. Hot showers, steam, and saunas can damage your lash extensions.
You can opt for bringing down the heat and steering clear of hot water falling on the lashes. Or you can clean your face at the sink with cold water to limit the risk of losing your lash extensions.
It is safe to wear your lash extensions throughout the day, even if you have an active lifestyle. As you follow these tips I have provided, there is no stopping you from looking flawless while staying fit.
