Lash Lifts: The Guide to Flawless Lashes

Let’s talk about lashes. Whether you’re walking down the aisle, savouring your pregnancy glow, or just want to wake up with the kind of lashes that make mascara a thing of the past, lash lifting is the ultimate solution. Think of it as a spa day for your lashes, giving them a natural curl, lift, and definition that lasts.

But just like any beauty treatment, lash lifts require a little TLC before and after your appointment to achieve that long-lasting, flawless look. At The Gold Standard Beauty & Skin, we’ve got you covered with all the tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your lash lift.

Why Pre-Care Matters for Perfect Lashes

Your lashes deserve the best, and pre-care ensures they’re in the ideal condition for the treatment. Skipping these steps could lead to a lift that doesn’t last or lashes that feel brittle. Prepping properly means your lash lift will look amazing, last longer, and leave your natural lashes healthy and happy.

Before your appointment, it’s important to stop using lash serums at least 72 hours in advance. These products can affect how the lifting solution interacts with your lashes. Avoid caffeine for six hours before your appointment to help you stay relaxed and minimise any eye movement during the process.

If you wear contact lenses, bring your contact case and solution or opt for glasses on the day of your appointment. Keep your lashes clean and free of mascara or eye makeup to give your therapist a clean canvas to work with. And finally, don’t use eyelash curlers in the 24 hours leading up to your appointment—your natural lashes need to be as untouched as possible for the treatment to work its magic.

Post-Care Tips For Gorgeous Lashes

Congratulations—you’ve just stepped out with lifted, dreamy lashes! Now it’s time to protect your investment. Post-care is essential to ensuring your lift lasts and your lashes remain healthy. Treating them right will keep that enviable curl intact and your lashes feeling strong and nourished.

For the first 24 hours, avoid getting your lashes wet or exposing them to steam, saunas, or hot showers. Keep your hands away—no touching or rubbing your lashes, as tempting as it may be. Skip mascara and oil-based products during this time to allow the lift to set perfectly.

After the first day, rinse your lashes gently with warm water, but steer clear of cleansers or makeup removers near your eyes for at least 24 hours more. To maintain your results, use a conditioning serum like the Vitamin Lash Serum by My Lamination. It strengthens and nourishes your lashes, keeping them lush and lifted.

Avoid using eyelash curlers for at least two weeks, as they can be too harsh on your freshly lifted lashes. And when you sleep, try not to rest your face directly on the pillow—this can suffocate your lashes and cause unnecessary rubbing, leading to weaker or premature lash loss. Using a silk pillowcase is also a great idea, as it reduces friction and helps maintain the health of your lashes and skin in general!
