How to Clean and Reuse Your False Eyelashes: A Complete Guide

False eyelashes have become a popular accessory for enhancing one's natural beauty, adding volume and length to the lashes. While many people consider false lashes as a one-time use product, with proper care and maintenance, you can extend their lifespan and get more value for your money. 

ICEY Lashes are designed for multiple reuse. As long as you follow the steps below, our eyelashes can be reused up to 25 times.

Step 1: Remove Your False Eyelashes Carefully

To begin, gently remove your false eyelashes by carefully peeling them off from the outer corner to the inner corner of your eye. It's crucial to handle them delicately to prevent any damage to the lash band or individual lashes. Use your fingertips or tweezers to grip the lashes close to the lash band and avoid pulling or tugging.

Step 2: Cleanse the Lashes

To effectively clean your false eyelashes, you'll need a gentle oil-free makeup remover, a clean cotton pad, and a pair of tweezers. Place the false lashes on a clean, flat surface and apply a small amount of makeup remover on the cotton pad. Gently wipe the cotton pad along the lash band and individual lashes to remove any residual adhesive, mascara, or other makeup. Avoid rubbing or pulling on the lashes too vigorously to prevent damage.

Step 3: Soak and Disinfect

After removing the makeup residue, it's time to disinfect your false eyelashes. Fill a small bowl or container with a mixture of warm water and mild antibacterial soap. Submerge the lashes in the soapy water, making sure not to soak the lash band excessively. Allow them to soak for a few minutes to effectively remove any remaining dirt, bacteria, or adhesive.

Step 4: Gently Brush and Rinse

Using a clean spoolie or a soft eyelash brush, gently comb through the lashes to remove any remaining debris or soap. Be gentle and avoid excessive pressure to prevent damaging the lashes. Once you're satisfied with the cleaning, rinse the lashes under running water, holding them carefully by the lash band. Ensure that all soap residue is removed.

Step 5: Air Dry and Shape

After rinsing, gently pat dry the lashes with a clean towel or tissue paper to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing or twisting the lashes, as this can misshape them. To maintain the desired shape, carefully place the lashes back on their original packaging or a clean, flat surface and let them air dry naturally. Avoid using a hairdryer or any direct heat source, as this can damage the false lashes.

Step 6: Store Properly

Once your false eyelashes are completely dry, store them in a clean, airtight container or the original packaging until you're ready to use them again. This will protect them from dust, dirt, and moisture, ensuring they stay in optimal condition for future use.

Conclusion:

By following these simple steps, you can effectively clean and reuse your false eyelashes, extending their lifespan and getting the most out of your investment. Proper care and maintenance are essential to keep your lashes in excellent condition, preserving their shape, and ensuring they remain safe to use. So, the next time you're ready to rock those beautiful falsies, remember to clean and reuse them for a sustainable and cost-effective way to enhance your eye makeup look.
