• Itching and irritation after eyelash extensions are normal, but persistent itching may indicate an allergic reaction to the eyelash glue.
• In case of an allergic reaction, it is important to have the extensions professionally removed and consult a doctor if necessary.
• Inflamed eyes caused by eyelash extensions can also cause itching and require medical treatment and removal of the extensions.
• An eyelash serum is an effective and safe alternative to eyelash extensions, strengthening natural eyelashes without the risk of allergies.

It is normal to experience some itching or irritation after having eyelash extensions applied. This is because your eyes need to get used to the adhesive and the extensions themselves. These symptoms usually disappear within a day. If the itching persists, this may indicate an allergic reaction to the eyelash adhesive used.

If the itching does not subside after a few hours or actually worsens, this may indicate an allergy to the adhesive. This occurs particularly with adhesives that contain cyanoacrylate or certain fragrances.

Have the extensions removed professionally: this prevents damage to your own eyelashes.
Never remove them yourself: pulling or picking at them can cause eyelashes to come loose.
Use a cold compress: this can provide temporary relief.
In case of serious complaints: redness, swelling, or watery eyes – always consult a doctor.

Sometimes itching is not an allergy, but an inflammation caused by bacteria, incorrectly placed extensions, or irritation of the eyelid margin. What to do if your eyes are inflamed? See a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Have the extensions removed to prevent further irritation.

Proper care helps prevent irritation and itching, and ensures that your extensions stay beautiful for longer.

Do not rub or pull: this damages both extensions and natural eyelashes. Avoid oil-based products: oil dissolves glue and shortens the life of your extensions. Clean daily: use a special eyelash cleanser to remove dirt and sebum. Comb gently: brush with a clean spoolie brush to prevent tangles. Be careful when sleeping: preferably sleep on your back so that there is no pressure on the eyelashes.

After removing extensions, your natural eyelashes need time to recover.

Let your eyelashes rest: avoid new extensions immediately after removal. Use a nourishing eyelash serum: ingredients such as peptides, growth factors, and prostaglandin analogues strengthen and support the hair growth cycle. Avoid heavy makeup: your eyelashes may be temporarily sensitive. Keep your eyelids clean: prevent irritation during recovery.
