What is a common aftercare instruction for clients with eyelash extensions?

Avoiding oil-based products around the eye area is a vital aftercare instruction for clients with eyelash extensions. Oil-based products can weaken the adhesive used to bond the extensions to natural lashes, potentially causing the extensions to loosen or fall off prematurely. This is particularly important because the longevity of the eyelash extensions significantly depends on proper maintenance and care, which includes being mindful of the products used around the eyes.

While other options may have merit in certain contexts, such as avoiding water exposure immediately after application or keeping the area clean, the primary concern is protecting the integrity of the adhesive. Oil-based products can compromise this, leading to dissatisfaction with the retention of eyelash extensions.
