Removing Your Fake Eyelashes
Look Younger - Beauty & StyleAnyone who has put on fake eyelashes knows that there are times that you have to actually remove that eyelash extension glue. This could be because you simply put them on for a party or a special evening. Taking your fake eyelashes off is no more difficult than putting them on.
You should take them off before it is time for you to go to sleep. You can do this by utilizing a makeup remover or a warm towel. If the false eyelashes are reusable, leave them in a solution made for cleaning your eyes to keep them in good, sanitary condition.
TIP: To avoid ripping your skin or pulling out your natural lashes, NEVER pull the fake lashes from your eyelid. And do not apply the glue directly to the eyelid — you could get it in your eye or actually glue an eye shut!
Remove the fake eyelashes by taking hold of the inside edge (next to your nose) and using a slow, gentle motion to pull the lash toward the ear.
Then dab a cotton swab in fake eyelash remover solution and dab it along your lash line. Begin at the outer edge of the eye and move inward. You can use eye makeup remover if you do not have fake eyelash remover.
You will easily be able to remove the lash band from your eye because the glue will get soft due to the solution. You can use tweezers if your goal is to remove eyelashes one lash at a time.
Using something like petroleum jelly may also work. You will be able to remove your eyelashes with warm water because the petroleum jelly will loosen them. Soap and water seems to be the preference of some people, as well. Others find that olive oil will do the job.
If you are able to keep your fake eyelashes clean and in a sterile environment, you should be able to reuse them. After you have removed the fake eyelashes, clean them in soap water and store them in a container with some kind of eye cleaning solution. To be certain they are clean, you also want to take the time to clean them again before you put them back on.
