JAKARTA - Having long, thick, and curly eyelashes can certainly increase self-confidence instantly. Whether using eyelash serum, mascara, eyelash extensions, to false eyelashes, all of them can change the appearance of makeup to be more attractive.

For those of you who are more interested in using false eyelashes, don't forget to clean them regularly to avoid irritation and keep your real eyelashes healthy and not easy to fall out.

Here, VOI shares tips for cleaning false eyelashes, summarized from the Beautynesia page, Friday, September 24.

Remove the glue

You can remove any residual glue that is still attached to the false eyelash bone. Excess adhesive glue often makes false eyelashes rush because they are not careful in cleaning them. Use your fingers or tweezers to remove the glue, do so slowly so you don't tear the false eyelashes.

Clean the rest of the make up

Sometimes the use of mascara can help the appearance of false eyelashes look natural when worn. If you want to clean false eyelashes from mascara, you can try the trick from Huda Kattan.

Place the false eyelashes between two cotton swabs that have been poured with micellar water and let stand for 30 seconds and the mascara will fade by itself. Next, comb the false eyelashes with cotton buds to make sure each lash is clean. Repeat this step several times until the false eyelashes are completely clean. This method can make false eyelashes last until they can be used more than 15 times.

dry

If they are wet, dry the false eyelashes carefully using a microfiber towel. Traditional cotton towels tend to fall off and can get caught in the eyelashes, which is why it's best to use a safer microfiber material. Wipe gently without applying too much pressure so it doesn't lose its shape.

Save properly

After cleaning, it is best to store false eyelashes in their original packaging. This will keep it from dust and bacteria. In addition, the shape will also be maintained.
