Why Are My Eyes Itching After Applying Eyelash Extensions?

3/8/2019

Eyelash Extensions Clearfield
​Most of the people who apply eyelash extensions do not experience any negative reaction especially if they went to a professional. Unfortunately, there are instances where some people will experience reactions such as itching or irritation.
The main cause of itching after an eyelash extensions application is the adhesive used in sticking the lash extension to the natural lashes. It can also be caused by the cleansers or the primers used when applying the lash extensions. If you are allergic to animal fur and you apply mink eyelash extensions, you will develop an allergic reaction that could lead to itching.
Here are the Main Reasons Why Your Eyes May Itch After an Eyelash Extensions Application
Exposing Your Eyes to Adhesive Fumes
There are cases where the itching could be as a result of exposing your eyes to the adhesive fumes during the application. This can be avoided by keeping your eyes closed during the application. If this is the cause of your irritation, there is no cause for alarm as it will go away within 24 hours.
If what you are experiencing is a slight irritation and there’s no swelling, you don’t have to worry as this will go away in no time.
Allergic Reaction
Itching in your eyes after your eyelash extensions application could also be as a result of an allergic reaction. If you notice this within 48 hours after the application, get in touch with the lash artist for further directions. If the itching is too severe, the lash artist will advise you to:
  • Remove the lash extensions: you need to go back to the lash artist to have the lash extensions removed.  Do not try to pluck out the lash extensions at home as this will not completely remove the lash glue. A professional will ensure that he removes the lash glue that is the main cause of allergic reaction.
  • If you are not able to go to the spa, you can use coconut oil or olive oil to remove the eyelash extensions. You will apply the oil and allow it to remain on the lashes for 10 to 20 minutes. This will loosen the glue that holds the lash extensions and with this, you’ll remove them with ease.
You should rinse your eyes with warm water for five minutes after removing the eyelash extensions. This will help to get rid of any oil residue around your eyes. You can then rinse using cool water to get rid of any remaining impurities and to soothe your eyes.
If there are any signs of swelling in addition to the itching, you can apply a cold compress on your eyes. This will soothe your eyes and help in getting rid of the swelling. If possible, you can sleep with the eye mask.
if the allergic reaction was not too severe, you can use anti-allergic medications to get rid of the itching. However, you need to be very careful with any sign of an allergic reaction as there is a possibility of the condition getting worse.
You should consult your doctor before going for your refill as he is in the best position to provide a way forward.
Here are Some Tips to Help in Minimizing Allergic Reactions During and After Eyelash Extensions Application
  • The lash artist will ensure that the lash room is well ventilated. He can also use a fan to disperse the adhesive fumes away from your eyes.
  • He will avoid using the primer and instead, clean your lashes using a saline solution.
  • Instead of using eyelash pads, the lash artist will use a medical tape in the application
  • The lash artist will reduce the amount of glue he uses in the lash application. With this, there will be lesser fumes and lower chances of getting an irritation.
Despite all these measures, it is possible that you’ll still get allergic reactions after the lash application. The best step, in this case, is to avoid applying eyelash extensions in the future as the condition could get worse. You don’t want to wake up one day and discover that your eye is swollen to an extent that you cannot see.
If your eyes become itchy after an eyelash extensions application and the condition does not improve within 48 hours, inform your lash artist. Seeking the opinion of a doctor will also help to get the best solution for the problem.
Are Allergic Reactions A Sign that the Lash Artist is Not A Professional?
In most cases, getting an allergic reaction after an eyelash extensions application is not a sign that the lash artist is not a professional. You could be having an existing allergy that is triggered by the lash extensions application or your body could be reacting toward the foreign material that is being added to the natural lashes.
If the itching turns out to be a sign of a pink eye, there are possibilities that the lash artist used unclean tools during the application. If more than one client complains of a pink eye after an eyelash extensions application, it means the lash artist used the same tool on different clients.
A professional lash artist will ensure that he uses sanitized tools when applying eyelash extensions. He will also ensure that the lash glue does not get into the eyes during the application. He will use a lash mirror to ensure that the gel pad stays in the right position throughout the application.
Your lash artist will also conduct a patch test to check if there will be any negative reaction. Based on the outcome, he will decide to move on with the application or advice you to seek an alternative method of making your eyes appealing.
It is also advisable to inform the lash artist if you suffer from any allergies so that he can decide if he will proceed with the application. Always ensure that you seek eyelash extensions application from a professional spa. Do not fall for the cheap spas that will not follow any safety procedure or ones that will use low-quality products for the lash application. Your safety matters and this should be the motivation behind your choice of a lash spa.
