✨ How to Safely Remove False Eyelashes

At The Beautyy Asylum, we believe beauty should never come at the expense of your natural lashes. Whether you're winding down after a glam night out or simply ready to refresh your look, removing false eyelashes properly is essential to maintaining healthy eyes and lashes. Follow our expert-approved steps for a gentle, effective removal process:

🧼 Step 1: Wash Your Hands

Before touching your eyes, cleanse your hands thoroughly to prevent irritation or infection.

💧 Step 2: Loosen the Adhesive

Use an oil-free makeup remover or micellar water on a cotton pad. Gently press it against your lash line for 20–30 seconds to soften the glue. For stubborn adhesive, a specialized lash glue remover or coconut oil can help break it down without tugging.

🫶 Step 3: Peel with Care

Starting from the outer corner, slowly lift the lash band away from your eyelid. Never pull or yank—this can damage your natural lashes and delicate skin.

🧽 Step 4: Clean the Lashes

If you plan to reuse your falsies, remove excess glue from the band with tweezers and clean them with a gentle cleanser. Let them air dry on a clean surface.

🧴 Step 5: Soothe and Hydrate

Finish with a nourishing eye cream or lash serum to hydrate the area and support lash health.


💡 Pro Tip from The Beautyy Asylum: Always store your lashes in their original case to maintain their shape and hygiene. With proper care, your falsies can last multiple wears—keeping your glam game strong and your natural lashes safe.
