Wondering if it’s safe to get a spray tan if you’ve got eyelash extensions on?
The answer is yes, you can get spray tans with eyelash extensions.
You don’t need to keep your eyelash extensions dry after your appointment at The Lash Spa. We fan the lashes and apply Super Bonder before you leave, so you can shower, wash your face and get them wet straight away. Avoid products containing oil around the eyes, including oil-based moisturisers, as these can weaken the adhesive bond.
At The Lash Spa, we recommend having your spray tan applied and washed off prior to your lash appointment.
Some tanning solutions contain oils which could affect the bond of your eyelash extensions and natural lashes (oil = the enemy of lash extensions).
If you’re investing in eyelash extensions, you should be doing everything in your power to keep them looking perfect.
Some tanning solutions are able to be showered after only 30 mins to 2 hours. I recommend opting for one of these tanning solutions and having the tan applied the day prior or morning of your lash appointment. That gives you plenty of time to wash the solution off before we apply any lashes.
You can wash your hair after your lash appointment. There is no separate dry period for water or steam at The Lash Spa. Keep shampoo, conditioner and oily products away from your lash line, and avoid rubbing or pulling at the extensions.
Help, I’ve already got eyelash extensions on and I want to get a spray tan. What should I do?
If you’re reading this article through long, pretty lashes but want to get a spray tan – never fear…it is still possible.
Ask the spray tan technician to avoid your eye area. You could do this by holding two makeup rounds over your eyes as they spray the face.
You could also avoid having your face sprayed altogether. I prefer to hold the makeup rounds as I do like to have some tan on my face.
To summarise, if you want to get a spray tan and you have eyelash extensions then go for it! Make sure you follow our advice and your lashes will be totally fine!
