lash tinting aftercare what to know

If you love those beautiful long lashes you see on everyone but only get noticeable lashes after quite a few swipes of mascara, lash tinting is the solution for you! You may ask what is lash tinting? Why should you consider it? What are the benefits? How to do lash tinting aftercare? Is it safe? Let's give you a lowdown on all your questions!

What is eyelash tinting? Why should you get it? 

Eyelash tinting is equivalent to hair dyeing except that you are dyeing your lashes. It is a semi-permanent vegetable dye for your lashes. Lash tinting falls between having a lash extension and using mascara. It gives the eyes the illusion of being wider than they are. Similar to hair dyes, a lash dyer is applied onto the lashes, developed to be safe for use around the eye area. 

Unlike hair dyeing, it just takes a maximum of around half an hour. 

If you have barely noticeable lashes or lighter-colored lashes, lash tinting is the best process to go for. It makes the lashes prominent, and thicker. Unlike mascara which clumps up your lashes and can often bleed, this tint stays for a longer time. 

How long will your lash tint last?

An eyelash tint lasts for a month or 40 days, not because the dye fades but because your lashes shed. As you notice the tint gets lighter, you know it's time for a touch-up.

How can you benefit from tinting your lashes?

• If you have a busy job, or you just don't like using makeup daily but still want to look ready on the go, lash tinting makes sure you look fresh. You can also go for brow tinting if you want natural-looking darker brows, but lash tinting alone also changes your appearance.
• You get darker and longer lashes that you don't need to touch up. 
• Your eyes appear bigger than before. 
• Tinted lashes add more depth to your face. 
• Your eyes look more expressive. 
• The process is quick and affordable. 

How can you take care of your lashes after tinting to get the most benefits in the long run? 

There are a few tips to prolong the results of a lash tint which also doubles up as an aftercare, like - 

• Using gentle products for your skin, especially around the eye area. This means using fewer skincare actives in the area.
• Using sunscreen more religiously. Especially around your eye area. Find a sunscreen that suits your skin type well and keep on reapplying. It will help from sun exposure which can have a bleaching effect on the lashes.
• Avoiding swimming without water goggles, because chlorine water also hurts the tint. 
• Using a gentle makeup remover when removing makeup from the eye area. 
• Not being harsh while wiping sweat on the eye area, using dabbing motions instead of swiping motions.

What is the immediate care after tinting? 

After you have got your lash tinted, it's required that you avoid-

• touching the area near your eyes or your eyes for a day.
• Oil-based products, especially makeup for a day or two.
• Avoid curlers and contact lenses for a day.
• Sunbathing and swimming for a day because of the heat and chlorine.
• receiving or using any other treatments on the eye area immediately, especially within a day.
• any perfumed product, even if skincare, for a day. 
• rubbing or playing with lashes. 

Is it safe?

It is safe unless you have underlying health conditions or allergic reactions.
