Follow these steps to remove eyelash extensions at home:

 

Step 1: Wash Your Face

 

Wash your face like you would normally do. Make sure not to scrub your eye area as it may pull on your lashes and cause damage. The purpose of this step is to remove any mascara or eye makeup that may have settled on the eyelash extensions.

 

Step 2: Use Steam

 

Fill a large bowl of water with steaming-hot water. Place your face over it and cover your head with a towel to keep the steam in. Let it sit for a few minutes to loosen up the bond of the eyelash extensions glue.

 

Step 3: Warm the Oil

 

Get a small bowl and fill it with oil. Coconut oil will give the best results removing lash extensions but vegetable oil, olive oil, and castor oil can also be used.

 

The next step is to warm up the oil slightly. Make sure that the oil isn't too hot because you're going to deal with the highly sensitive eye area. Check the warmth by dipping your clean pinky finger. A mild warmth is all you need to accelerate the process.

 

Step 4: Soak the Pads

 

The next thing to do is soak one to two cotton pads in the warm oil. Once you're done, place the oiled cotton pad on one of your eyes, over the lashes. Let it remain there for five to ten minutes, or as long as it takes the cotton pad to lose the heat.

 

Gently wipe your upper lash line with the oily pad and let the oil sit on your extensions for a few minutes.

 

Step 5: Remove the Extensions

 

Using the same cotton pad, gently swipe your lash line again. You should start to see a few lash extensions falling off and remain in the cotton pad.

 

 

How to remove eyelash extensions with coconut oil?

 

If you want to remove your lash extensions, you can do so at home. Coconut or olive oil is the most typical way to dissolve lash glue. To protect your natural lashes, it's best to have them removed by a professional. The adhesive can be loosened with a remover designed for professionals.

 

You should use olive oil to get rid of fake oils because it's the best oil and it's safe. Heat some extra virgin olive oil as a solvent.

 

Using one or two cotton pads per eye, follow the step-by-step instructions.

 

You can use olive oil to maintain the integrity of your natural lashes while also dissolving the adhesive used to attach the extensions to your lashes.

 

As a degumming agent for eyelash glue, olive oil does not work well because it takes too long to work. Soak a cotton swab in warm water and roll it over your lashes several times a day.

Coconut oil is our skin's favorite. If you don't want to eat it, you can also use it on your eyelashes! When it comes to removing eyelash extensions, coconut oil works wonders.

 

Depending on the extraction method, this oil can be extracted from either dried coconut kernels or raw coconuts.

 

No matter which brand you choose, coconut oil is completely free of any potentially dangerous compounds (unlike petroleum).

 

There is no harm in using food-safe products on the skin; the same is true for cosmetics. If skin or other heat source is applied to the substance, it becomes liquid.

 

These fatty acids can be used by the body for maintenance and repair. Additionally, it is a potent disinfectant and anti-inflammatory, as well as an antioxidant. Skin treatments such as acne and wounds can be achieved with coconut oil. Coconut oil is truly a one-stop shop.

 

Coconut oil comes in many forms. Choosing organic, extra virgin, unrefined coconut oil is the best way to ensure the best care for your skin.

 

By softening and breaking down the glue, coconut oil can help remove lashes. To remove eyelash extensions with coconut oil, follow these steps:

 

Step 1: Cleaning

 

Completely removes all makeup.

 

Step 2: Steam your face

 

To prepare a steam bath for your face, you will need a large bowl of water and a steamer. To keep the steam in, place a towel over your head and your face over the bowl (be careful not to get too close, as the steam can burn you). After about 10-15 minutes, the steam in your body will begin to melt and dissolve the adhesive.

 

Step 3: Hot Oil

 

As a last resort, you can put coconut oil on the steam for a few seconds to make it easier to apply.

 

Step 4: Apply with a cotton pad

 

Using a cotton pad and a small amount of coconut oil, carefully dissolve the glue and remove the false lashes. Repeat as needed until all glue has been removed.

 

Step 5: Wash Your Face and Moisturize

 

Rewash your face to remove any residual oil and moisturize skin as needed. If you prefer, you can use a tissue to remove excess coconut oil, which is an excellent natural moisturizer.

 

 

I can't stress enough that this process should be done extremely carefully if you want to avoid damage to your natural lashes. If the extensions do not fall off, do not try to pull on them. You will need to have them removed by a professional.
