Both eyebrows and lashes collect natural oils, makeup residue, and dust particles that can lead to acne, dandruff, or skin irritation if not cleaned regularly. Therefore, thorough cleaning is key to both health and longevity, especially if you use lash extensions or brow/lash lift treatments.

Step-by-step routine

1. Start with a gentle, unscented cleanser
   Choose a room-temperature, oil-free remover that is gentle on the eye area, such as NIVEA Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover or RefectoCil Micellar Eye Make-Up Remover. The micellar technology draws out makeup without the need for harsh rubbing.

2. Cleanse with Lash Shampoo
   For a really deep cleanse, a Lash Shampoo is recommended. It removes makeup residue, oils and dirt that can otherwise weaken the lashes. The foam is mild and adapted for the sensitive eye area and leaves the lashes clean and fresh.

3. Apply with caution
   Apply remover to a cotton pad or pads and gently sweep over lash line and brows. Avoid rubbing – use light, sweeping motions to avoid irritating the skin.

4. Clean thoroughly with a brush
   Use a white eyelash cleansing brush , which is made of ultra-fine fiber for minimal friction and irritation. Dampen the brush, apply cleansing fluid and gently brush around the lashes. Clean the brush thoroughly afterwards and let it dry.

5. Finish with a nourishing product
   After cleansing – and if you have had a lift or pigmentation – it is wise to use a keratin serum , such as Keratin Boost for lashes. It moisturizes, strengthens and protects, and prolongs the effect of the treatment.

6. Avoid water and rubbing after treatment
   Especially after a brow or lash lift, avoid water and rubbing for the first 48 hours. The same applies to avoiding oily products near the lash roots during this time.

7. Moisturize the skin around the eyes
   After cleansing, it's a good idea to moisturize your skin with a gentle eye cream or serum if it's part of your skincare routine. This will protect and nourish your skin.
