To remove individual lashes at home, you can use oil-based products such as coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, mineral oil, or baby oil. Here are the steps to remove individual lashes at home using oil-based products:
- Pour a small amount of oil in a bowl and warm it up.
- Soak a cotton pad or a cotton swab in the warm oil.
- Apply the oil-soaked cotton pad or swab through your lash line and individual lashes.
- Allow the cotton soaked in warm oil to sit in your lashes for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
- Gently wipe your lash line and remove your individual lashes using the same cotton pad soaked in oil.
If oil-based products do not work, you can try using professional lash extension remover gels that are designed for safe, effective, and quick removal of the lash extensions. However, it is recommended to use a cream remover to remove the entire set of eyelash extensions. Here are the steps to remove eyelash extensions using a cream remover:
- Apply a cream-based remover as close to the lash line as possible without touching the skin.
- Place a paper towel under the lashes to keep the eye pads clean.
- Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Use a lint-free applicator to gently remove the extensions by pushing the extension against the paper towel.
- Wipe down the natural lashes to remove any product left behind.
It is important to be gentle when removing individual lashes to avoid damaging your natural lashes.
