Despite the excitement of getting your lash extensions done, there’s one big responsibility: protecting your lashes to make them last longer. Usually, proper lash extension aftercare consists of using less makeup, daily brushing, no touching and thorough cleansing of the lashes. But it’s also good to factor in your sleeping positions as aftercare because it honestly makes a difference!

With all the tossing and turning at night, how can you guarantee that no precious lash extensions fall off before they really should?

HERE’S THE BEST WAY TO SLEEP WITH EYELASH EXTENSIONS ON:

1). SLEEP ON YOUR BACK

If you're already a back sleeper, this should be easy for you. Sleeping on your back is the best way to prevent your extensions from being damaged during the night. The more the lashes touch your pillow, the more likely it’s going to get tugged off.

2).UPGRADE YOUR PILLOW FOR EYELASH EXTENSIONS

OPTION #1: SILK PILLOW COVER

OPTION #2: BARRIER PILLOW

OPTION #3: U-SHAPED SIDE PILLOW

3) . GET YOURSELF A CONTOURED EYE MASK MADE FOR EYELASH EXTENSIONS

If you love sleeping with an eye mask on, it might be a good idea to change it to something more suitable for your lashes. Instead of using your regular eye mask, use a contoured one so that your lashes won’t be in direct contact with the fabric. Now, you can sleep in complete darkness even with eyelash extensions on.

PRO TIP: This is a perfect solution for the chronic eye-rubbers and the frequent traveller.
