Did you get eyelash extensions? Eyelash extensions have been trending for quite some time now. These are one of the most prominent solutions that prevent you from getting makeup. Once you get eyelash extensions, you will have pretty eyes. The lash extensions are quite long. So, you don’t need to get any mascara.

While they are extremely beautiful and help you get the perfect lashes, the process of eyelash extension removal can be extremely painful. Usually, people prefer reaching out to professionals for the removal process. Well, what if the salons are all closed? You will need to opt for eyelash extension removal on your own in that case.

In the article below, we have provided some information on how to remove eyelash extensions yourself.

How to get eyelash extensions removed at home?

While it is not advisable to remove eyelash extensions at home, sometimes you may find yourself in such a situation where you will need to do it on your own. If you are desperate enough to opt for eyelash extension removal on your own, here are some tips that can be helpful for you:

Use an oil-based remover

When using fake eyelash extensions, you will often come across the advice of not using any oil-based makeup. Oil can loosen the grip thereby making it hard for you to retain the extension. However, when you are opting for eyelash extension removal, you should use an oil-based remover.

If you do not have any makeup and only the extensions, you can still use it. The process is very simple. All you need to do is just swipe the remover over your eyes. It will be gone within minutes.

Apply castor oil or coconut oil

You can apply castor oil or coconut oil before going to bed. This will make it easier for you to remove the eyelash extension. However, since you are using it for eyelash extension removal, you should use very little of it.

You can dip a piece of cotton in the castor or coconut oil. After that, you swipe it on your lashes. Allow it to rest for some time. Thereafter, the glue will loosen up because of the oil's impact. Therefore, you can easily peel off the extension once the oil loosens.

Use warm oil

While you can remove extensions using coconut or castor oil, you should consider using warm oil. You should soak the cotton pads in warm oil. Usually, it is advisable to soak two cotton pads. Once you soak the pads, make sure to apply them over your eyes.

It is advisable to leave the pads on your eyes over the lashes for some time. This will allow the cotton pads to lose the heat and eventually the glue will loosen as well. You should swipe the pads on the upper lash line. The use of oily pads will allow the grip to loosen. As a result, you can either peel off the extensions by yourself or it will come off on the pads themselves.

Get a hot shower

This is one of the most underrated tips for eyelash extension removal. Plucking or pulling the extensions is only going to hurt you. However, getting a hot shower will be of great help to remove the extensions.

Plucking can often lead to the breakage of extensions. When the eyelash extensions become wet, it will help in the removal process. Sometimes, when you're in the shower for long, the lashes will hang from your eyes. You can easily pull them out. However, you should not try plucking out all by yourself until and unless it's wet.

Conclusion

While you may want to get eyelash extension removal at home itself, it is advisable not to do so. You should consider reaching out to professionals at Spa Beautique so that you can remove the extensions. The professionals are experienced and can help you get it done within minutes. So, you no longer need to struggle with it.
