How to remove false eyelashes at home?
Despite the fact that it is most reasonable to remove false eyelashes in a beauty parlor, many girls try to carry out this procedure on their own. In order for the result to be satisfactory, this must be done according to the instructions and in compliance with all precautions.
Precautionary measures
Although you can remove false eyelashes yourself at home, it is recommended that you consult a professional for the first time with this one. But if you still plan to remove the false hairs yourself, you must follow a number of important rules. Before removing the eyelashes at home, it is imperative to treat the root zone with some fatty agent - working "dry" often leads to the loss of your own eyelashes.
Nevertheless, you should absolutely not use household solvents for this - this will definitely lead to burns of the mucous membrane of the eye. The use of "Albucid" is prohibited if you are allergic to any of the components present.
Care must also be taken when setting up a steam bath, which often leads to burns. Experts do not recommend using removers from little-known companies.... When removing hairs directly, it is best not to use sharp objects such as needles, pins or toothpicks. You should not try to wash off the glue with regular soap or makeup, since such products are not capable of dissolving the glue substance, but they contribute to the occurrence of allergic reactions. It is pointless to try to wash off the glue with hot water - it will not cope with the task, but it will lead to a burn of the mucous membrane.
Before starting work hands are necessarily washed and make-up removal is carried out. Using a new drug, you should first test for an allergic reaction by applying the substance to the bend of the elbow or earlobe.
For owners of sensitive skin, it is better to immediately turn to the safest oils or fatty creams. If the product gets into the eye, then the latter should be immediately rinsed with clean water.
Options for special removers
From professional means for removing false eyelashes, you can use a debonder and a remover directly. Debonder is a liquid that dissolves the glue. The Debonder contains both natural ingredients and components of synthetic origin, for example, acetone, so it is better to entrust its use to a specialist. You can purchase such drugs only from trusted manufacturers, trying to choose an instance with the maximum presence of natural components in the composition.
When buying, it would be nice to evaluate the aroma - if acetone is clearly traced in it, then it is better not to take such a remedy.
Removers work the same way as debonders, but are sold as creams and gels... As a rule, the remover contains no substances that cause allergies. However, some experts advise against purchasing a gel remover for owners of sensitive skin, as its effect can be quite aggressive. The greatest safety is provided by creamy substances, in addition, it is believed that the thicker the substance, the better. The cream remover is odorless and does not emit fumes.
