After the initial aftercare period, you can normally shower and swim with lash extensions. Avoid vigorous rubbing, gently rinse away chlorine or salt water afterwards and let the lashes dry cleanly. Depending on the adhesive and timing, saunas and heavy steam can be more demanding on retention.

If you are preparing for a holiday, ball or wedding, time the appointment so the set is fresh and you already know how to care for it.
What to consider
- Follow the initial aftercare advice directly after your appointment.
- Clean gently after swimming in chlorinated or salt water.
- Do not rub your eyes with a towel.
- Plan a refill early enough before a holiday.
Sarah's advice in Graz
After your appointment, Sarah explains the aftercare that suits your set. This is particularly useful before travelling.
Avoiding water completely is not a long-term solution. Clean, gentle care is better than leaving residue around the lash line.
