If you've been here for a while, you know that it is very important to properly treat the lashes beforehand for perfect retention. Lash Art Pro has a very effective and simple step-by-step product range to properly prepare the lashes for perfect retention. 

Foam is perfect for removing visible makeup

We have said it before and we will probably say it again: foam is perfect for removing visible makeup such as mascara and eyeliner. But it is much better when used in combination with the rest of the pre-treatment line. Foam alone is therefore not enough. Foam often leaves a layer around the lashes. That is why we take cleanser and primer under the microscope to give you an idea of why they are always necessary and cannot be used separately.

WHAT IS CLEANSER?

Cleanser is specially developed for use with eyelash extensions. It is alcohol-based and should only be applied specifically to the lashes. Because it is alcohol-based, it removes all oils on the lashes that come from sebum, makeup residue or skincare residue and also breaks down dust or dirt.

You apply cleanser directly to the lashes

Cleanser is applied directly to the lashes with a microbrush. You must be careful with cleanser to prevent it from getting into the eyes, because that will be very painful for your client! Tip to prevent it from dripping into the eyes if you have taken too much cleanser: hold a wooden spatula under the lashes to work it through. This will absorb any excess cleanser so that it does not drip into the eyes.

Lashes can dry out from the cleanser

Because cleanser is alcohol-based, it can slightly dry out the lashes. This can have a major effect on how well your eyelash glue works. As we all know from our eyelash extension training, it is the moisture that causes the cyanoacrylate in our eyelash extension glue to polymerize. In other words, what makes our glue dry. This means that if we have a very dry surface that our glue has a grip on, it will simply not stick to the lashes and harden in the time we expect. This is where primer comes into play!

WHAT IS PRIMER?

Primer is absolutely essential after using cleanser. Cleanser is essential for optimal retention, so you need both! Primer rehydrates the lashes after using cleanser. Primer is water-based, so it adds the moisture you need to make your glue work as it should. 

Avoid retention problems by not using primer alone

Primer, like cleanser, cannot be used alone. Because it is water-based, it is not the best way to truly clean the lashes when used solo. You will therefore likely notice that you have retention problems if you do not use any other pre-treatment.

Expand your pre-treatment routine

All in all, there is a very good reason that cleanser and primer are the best-selling duo from Lash Art Pro! To expand your pre-treatment routine, add the protein remover pads to the skin around the eyes to keep your eyepatches in place during the treatment and then move on to the cleanser and primer.
