Maintaining luscious lash extensions can be a challenge without the right tools. Inadequate care can cause lash extensions to shed prematurely, tangle, clump, or damage. Your real eyelashes can also become weakened without proper maintenance.
When you're awake, you can follow a routine to keep your lashes healthy, such as brushing them daily and avoiding oil-based products.
But, what about when you're asleep? Tossing and turning puts friction on eyelash extensions, leading to early fallout. Rough pillowcase fabrics cause even more harm. And if you sleep with the wrong eye mask, it can ruin your lash shape.
The good news? Silk sleep accessories and switching your sleep position will keep your goddess lashes beautiful!
Let's further discuss how to sleep with lash extensions so you can wake up with perfect lashes every morning.
4 Tips for Sleeping With Lash Extensions
The following tips for sleeping with eyelash extensions will help you maintain gorgeous lashes.
1. Sleep on your back
Sleep on your back to avoid crushing your lashes. Sorry if you're a stomach or side sleeper, but the best way to keep your lashes intact is to avoid sleeping on them.
Keep your face away from the pillow as much as possible—fall asleep face-up, when possible. Too much contact with your pillow causes friction on lashes. This can lead to early shedding and breakage.
2. Use a silk pillowcase
Silk pillowcases are the best choice for lash extensions. They're gentle on lashes and skin. Silk satin pillowcases are naturally moisture-wicking, hypoallergenic, and anti-aging.
Compared to cotton pillowcases, they offer 43% less friction. So not only will your lash extensions be safer, but you'll wake up to fewer new fine lines. A silk pillowcase, like Blissy's, will keep hair (this includes lashes) and skin hydrated, too. Luxe silk will not absorb skincare products or your hair's natural oils, unlike other fabrics which exacerbate dryness.
Quick tip: Silk or satin pillowcase? Sleeping on a satin pillowcase does not provide equal beauty benefits as silk. Satin refers products usually made from synthetic materials. A pure silk pillowcase has superior quality, safety, softness, and natural wellness advantages.
3. Limit tossing and turning
Try not to toss and turn in bed—it can damage and tangle lash extensions. Although sleeping on a Blissy Silk Pillowcase will help keep lashes like new, it's still best to avoid any type of rubbing on lashes.
Tend to move around a lot at night? Try sleeping with a contoured pillow or travel pillow, or place pillows on either side of you to create a barrier. These can help you stay in one position while you rest without sacrificing comfort or lash health!
If your eyelash extensions do get tangled, gently brush them with a clean, soft spoolie brush.
