What Happens When You Don’t Clean your Lash Extensions?

By | Eyelash Extensions, Lash Care, Prép Beauty Parlour


Have you ever developed what looks like an allergic reaction to your lashes but you’ve been getting them for years? Well… You may have developed Blepharitis!

Blepharitis commonly occurs when the tiny oil glands of the inner eyelid become inflamed, Symptoms include red, itchy eyelids that may look greasy and crusted. If you do end up seeing a doctor he/she will probably tell you that you have an infection.. Well he wouldn’t be wrong, improper cleaning of your lash extensions can have very negative side effects which may include not being able to have lash extensions for quite some time.

Unfortunately, there are some negative connotations surrounding eyelash extensions. Some people believe that getting eyelash extensions can damage natural eyelashes and the actual eye. It is critical to only visit a professional eyelash extension master who is educated and trained in correct application.

How do I avoid this happening? Build up of makeup, dry skin and sweat can cause blepharitis. We suggest you clean and cleanse your lashes with Facenvy to prevent blepharitis, you can purchase this item at Prép Beauty Parlour at anytime during business hours. You can also call to book an appointment to have it checked out with one of our master lash technicians!

Flore-Anne wore a unconventional and stunning pink wedding dress with gorgeous bow detailing. Her flower crown was something out of a fairy tale! Hair piece and flower crowns were carefully placed by us before Mika started on her timeless bridal makeup application. Her new husband was sporting a stylish grey and white pin-stripe Tux with white accent pocket square, all in all, it’s a match made in heaven!

We can’t forget about her guardian angels (Bridesmaids)! All 8 bridesmaids wore different floral dresses that complimented the brides wedding dress, the wedding arch was decorated in fun white, pink, yellow and orange flowers and even the officiant was in on the theme!

Here are some highlights from their floral fairytale…

     Congratulations Flore-Anne & Maurits! We wish you all the best!
