Removing eyelash glue can feel like peeling off a band-aid… near your eye! But fear not, it doesn’t have to be painful if you have the right technique. Duo Eyelash Adhesive, loved for its strong hold, requires a bit of finesse to remove. Let's dive into the best ways to remove it without sacrificing your natural lashes or comfort.
1. Use an Oil-Based Makeup Remover
Oil-based removers are a staple for professional lash wearers. Simply saturate a cotton pad with remover and place it over the lash line. Let it sit for 10-20 seconds to soften the glue. Avoid tugging! Gently swipe down to remove the lashes and any adhesive left behind. For those sensitive to oils, gentle micellar water works too!
2. Try Gentle Heat with a Warm Compress
A warm compress can also work wonders. Soak a clean cloth in warm water, squeeze out excess moisture, and gently press it onto the closed eyelid. This helps soften the glue, making removal much easier. Steaming works, too – just be cautious not to scald yourself!
3. Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, or Baby Oil
Natural oils are gentle yet effective. Dab some coconut oil, olive oil, or baby oil onto a cotton swab, then gently glide it along the lash line. Allow a few minutes for the glue to break down, then use a fresh cotton pad to wipe it all away. This method not only removes the glue but moisturizes the delicate skin around your eyes.
4. Clean Up with a Lash Serum
After removing all traces of Duo Adhesive, it’s time to give your lashes some love. Consider using a lash serum to nourish and keep them healthy, or try a gentle eye cream to soothe the skin. For stubborn adhesive bits, a lash comb can help clear out any last residue!
5. Common Mistakes to Avoid
It’s tempting, but don’t pull off your lashes! Rushing or scrubbing can lead to irritation or even lash loss. Also, avoid products that are harsh on sensitive areas. And remember – Duo has options for those looking for a gentler application. Consider trying their brush-on adhesive or 2-in-1 Quick Set options for future lash applications.
