How to Sleep Peacefully with Eyelash Extensions: Expert Tips for Comfort

You can achieve gorgeous, voluminous lashes with eyelash extensions or fake lashes, but many people are curious about how to sleep well without causing damage to their lashes. The following are some best practices to make sure your lashes stay in place as you sleep:

1. Sleep On Your Back.

Sleeping on your back is the most efficient approach to protect your false lashes and eyelash extensions. This position lowers the likelihood of your lashes rubbing against cushions or bedding, reducing unnecessary tugging or bending. If you sleep on your side or stomach, it may take some time to acclimatise, but it's worth it to keep your lashes intact.

2. Invest in a silk or satin pillowcase.

Silk or satin pillowcases are significantly softer on your skin and lashes than cotton. These fabrics reduce friction, allowing your false lashes to glide smoothly across the surface without snagging. Silk also helps your lash extensions last longer by reducing the likelihood of lash fallout at night.

3. Apply an Eye Mask Designed for Lash Extensions

Traditional eye masks might press down on your lashes, while masks developed expressly for lash extensions leave enough room to prevent contact with your eyes or lashes. Look for a contoured or domed mask to keep your eyelash extensions in excellent condition. 

4. Avoid sleeping directly on your face.

If you have a habit of rolling onto your face while sleeping, it may harm your lash extensions. Even on a silk pillowcase, direct pressure can cause lashes to bend, break, or fall out. Sleeping on your back or using a lash-friendly eye mask can help prevent this.

5. Before going to bed, brush your lashes. 

Use a fresh Spoolie brush to gently brush your eyelash extensions or fake lashes before bed. This guarantees that they are aligned, untangled, and prepared for sleep. Maintaining their position helps prevent unkempt lashes in the morning.

These easy steps can help you obtain a good night's sleep and prolong the life of your eyelash extensions and false lashes!
