How to remove the extended eyelashes at home?
A woman always seeks to improve what nature has given her. In particular, this applies to such prominent details of the appearance, like eyes or lips. You always want these already expressive facial features to be even more spectacular. It is possible to emphasize their beauty in different ways, but most women follow the path “more means better” and choose procedures for eyelash or nail extension, lip augmentation, etc.
The result, indeed, pleases the owners of new thick eyelashes for several weeks, but then a completely natural question arises: how to remove the extended eyelashes without harming their natural ones. As in any procedure, there are nuances and subtleties. Observing them, you can grow eyelashes as often as you like, without encountering side effects.
Features of removing the house
False eyelashes not only make the face more expressive, but look deeper. They are also practically the only way out for women who suffer from persistent masculine allergies, but who do not dare to abandon cosmetics once and for all. In addition, this procedure saves time if you need to quickly apply makeup in the morning, but it simply does not exist. In the salons now used several methods of eyelash extensions - slashes or bunches.
The extended eyelashes have their drawbacks, namely:
- they must be removed a month after application;
- this procedure may adversely affect the condition of natural eyelashes;
- allergic reactions to the used glue are possible: irritation and redness of the conjunctiva appear, in the most severe cases conjunctivitis develops;
- after this procedure, you can not visit the bath, sauna, swim in the sea or be in the open sun for a long time;
- with caution you should wash your face (trying not to rub your eyelids), sleep or apply cosmetics, especially on a greasy basis.
It is necessary to remove the extended eyelashes for 3 reasons:
- the time came, i.e. About a month passed, and the luxurious eye decoration first began to crumble into bunches, which looks, to put it mildly, carelessly;
- thick false eyelashes make the eyelid heavy, and over time it becomes uncomfortable to wear them;
- there was severe irritation of the eyes.
Precautionary measures
The procedure for removing false eyelashes can be approached from 2 sides: contact the master or try to do it yourself. Although it is not too difficult, it nevertheless takes some time. How much time this will actually occur depends on the chosen method of removing extended cilia, adherence to all steps and the quality of the materials used.
If you address this problem to the salon, then its solution will be quite affordable (within 700 rubles), and if you plan to remove artificial cilia to impose new ones, they will be removed for free. The master will choose the safest and most careful tool, and the procedure itself will not take much time. True, you can be warned that the frequent imposition of artificial eyelashes weakens the natural.
However, self-removal of eyelashes is quite a feasible procedure. It is only necessary to first clarify in the cabin what composition of glue was used.
The decision in any case is yours, but if you want to master the technique of removing eyelashes, use the following tips on how to remove them correctly:
- False eyelashes can not be removed "by force" by pulling.
- Do not use sharp objects such as pins, pointed sticks or toothpicks.
- After removing false eyelashes, you should give your family a rest for 1.5-2 months.
- During the rest eyelashes need to be processed with nourishing oils, using a soft brush and gently separating. This procedure is best done during the day, then you do not have to leave the oil on the eyelashes at night. Prolonged exposure to even the most delicate oils can cause swelling and red eyes.

Many steps will have to be done almost by touch, lying down. Of course, all the necessary tools and instruments should be on hand, and wash water should be within reach. If you plan to use herbal remedies or infusions, they should also be ready.

Steam trays for the face serve another purpose - to open the pores of the skin in order to clean it qualitatively. The water temperature should be in the region of 70-80 ° C. Bend over a container with water should be carefully, bringing the face to the surface of the water no closer than 20 cm. Steam bath should be done within 10 minutes.

Do not try to peel off eyelashes earlier than in 20-25 minutes. "Albucidus" causes burning eyes, so use this method of removing false eyelashes should be only as a last resort.
Oils
Removal of extended eyelashes using vegetable oils is the most common and cheapest way. An additional advantage of this procedure is the restorative effect that castor or almond oil has on natural eyelashes. The removal technique is simple: soak a half of a cotton pad with oil or a combination of oils, attach it under the lower eyelid, and moisten the eyelashes at the roots with a brush or cotton swab moistened with the same oil composition. After half an hour, with tweezers, carefully begin to remove the lashes that have lagged behind, trying not to pull them. If resin was present in the adhesive composition, the time of the procedure should be increased several times.
Some women leave oil-soaked cotton pads on their eyes all night.This is possible if you sleep quietly on your back and also use a special elastic bandage for sleep. Otherwise, you either do not get enough sleep, or in the morning you will have to do the whole procedure again.

Fat cream
Another effective method of detaching eyelashes is the use of a fat-based cream. To do this, it is reasonable to use the simplest children's cream, which has a safe soft formula. It is enough to brush the eyelashes with a brush or a cotton swab with this cream and wait for about a quarter of an hour. Be careful not to let the cream get into your eyes. After removing the eyelashes, rinse the eyes well using a soft gel for washing, which does not irritate the mucous membrane. Do not forget about herbal compresses for the eyes.

When choosing a tool, carefully read its composition and focus on those options that are based on natural ingredients. High-quality debonderers are rather mild remedies and can be used by women who are allergic, nursing and pregnant.
With this special solution applied to the eyelashes at the very roots, you can easily dissolve the glue that holds the false eyelashes. Use the debonder with caution, not allowing the agent to drain into the eyes. Under the lower eyelid, secure the cotton disk cut into 2 parts. Apply the debonder in several layers along the contour of the growth of eyelashes from the outer edge to the inner one. Keep the remedy for no longer than 3 minutes.

Reviews
Fans of natural cosmetics, as a rule, defend its advantages such as naturalness, safety, accessibility and a complex effect on eyelashes. Natural oils can not only remove false eyelashes, but also improve the condition of natural. It should be noted that vegetable oils, while certainly useful, differ in both the nature of the impact and the price.
If sunflower oil is very affordable, then jojoba oil or wheat germinated oil costs as much as a professional remedy. A relative disadvantage of natural cosmetics is that it requires strict adherence to the terms and conditions of storage. Oil should not be exposed to light, and each type of storage has its own temperature - in the range from 10 to 20 ° C.
Synthetic means for removing eyelash extensions are fast, but they may contain aggressive components (acetone). It is necessary to choose only quality products, although they are not cheap.
Of the professional tools, users prefer remavers that provide a gentle, quick and effective effect, completely dissolving the adhesive layer and not injuring the mucous membrane of the eyes.
Applying and removing artificial eyelashes is a procedure that is quite accessible today, which requires adherence to a few simple rules. But its result allows you to look spectacular, without spending a lot of time and effort on makeup. If you treat both false and your own eyelashes with care, you will achieve 2 goals - create a lasting and beautiful makeup and preserve the health and attractive appearance of the natural decoration of your eyes.
