To make your lashes last as long as possible, it’s important to take special care during your beauty sleep. Here are some lash-saving sleep tips that will help you get your beauty rest without compromising the look or longevity of your DIY lashes:
1. Silk or Satin Pillowcase
Switch to a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction, which is one of the most common culprits in lash wear and tear. The smooth surface minimizes tugging and pulling on your lashes, so you wake up with them looking as good as when you went to bed.
2. Sleep on Your Back
Try to sleep on your back to keep direct pressure off your lashes. Side and stomach sleeping presses your face (and lashes) into your pillow, which can make them shed or flatten over time. Consider using a contoured sleep mask to help train yourself to stay in a back-sleeping position.
3. Invest in a Lash-Friendly Sleep Mask
A contoured or 3D sleep mask is perfect for lash wearers because it doesn’t press on your eyes. Look for masks that have enough depth to protect your lashes fully without causing damage.
4. Avoid Heavy Eye Creams at Night
While moisture is key, heavy eye creams can weaken the lash adhesive overnight. Opt for lighter eye products before bed, or apply heavier creams only in the morning so that the adhesive remains strong and your lashes stay put.
5. Keep Your Lashes Clean
At night, gently clean your lashes with a lash-safe cleanser. This helps prevent oil buildup and keeps the adhesive bond stronger, helping your lashes stay fresh and fluffy longer.
6. Control Room Humidity
If your room is very dry or too humid, it can affect your lash adhesive. Aim for a balanced humidity level to prevent weakening the adhesive or causing the lashes to become brittle.
7. Be Mindful of Oils
Natural oils from your face or hair can weaken lash adhesive, so try pulling your hair back at night and avoid touching your eyes before you fall asleep.
With these beauty sleep tips, you’ll be well on your way to keeping your DIY lashes looking gorgeous for longer!
