Don’t Skip This Step: The Importance of Lash Baths
Lash Bath Kits: The Underrated Must-Have for Every Lash Babe
If you’re investing in lash extensions, a lash bath kit should be part of your routine. Not only do they keep your lashes clean and fresh, but they also help your extensions last longer, prevent build-up, and protect your natural lashes.
What Is a Lash Bath Kit?
A lash bath kit is a simple aftercare set that usually includes:
A lash-safe cleanser (gentle, oil-free, and designed specifically for lash extensions)
A soft cleansing brush
A rinsing bottle or spoolie
Sometimes, a foam pump or cleansing pad
These tools are made to help you gently cleanse your lash line without disturbing your lash extensions.
Why Is Lash Cleansing So Important?
Lash extensions sit very close to your lash line—and that’s where oil, makeup, and debris can build up fast. Without proper cleaning, this can lead to:
Poor lash retention
Premature lash shedding
Irritation or eye infections
Blocked hair follicles and lash loss
In short: clean lashes = healthy lashes + longer-lasting extensions.
How Often Should You Use a Lash Bath Kit?
You should cleanse your lashes:
Daily if you wear makeup or have oily skin
Every other day for minimal makeup wearers
After workouts or sweating
Before every lash fill appointment
Keeping your lashes clean between appointments helps your lash tech apply fresh extensions more easily—and makes your set look better overall.
Can You Just Use Water or Face Wash?
Nope. Regular face washes often contain oils or harsh ingredients that break down lash adhesive. Water alone won’t remove oil and debris.
Lash cleansers are made to be gentle yet effective. Using the right formula is key to protecting your investment.
Where to Get a Lash Bath Kit
Most lash studios (including us!) offer lash bath kits for sale. Ask your lash tech to show you how to use it properly—it only takes a minute, but it makes a huge difference.
