Summer Lash Care Tips from RJ Hair Creations

July 09, 2025

As the sun shines brighter and temperatures soar, your summer beauty routine deserves some extra attention—especially when it comes to your lash extensions. At RJ Hair Creations, we know how important it is to keep your lashes looking flawless and fresh, no matter the season. Whether you’re lounging poolside or enjoying the summer breeze, here’s how you can protect and maintain your lash extensions all summer long.

☀️ Why Summer Lash Care Matters

Summer fun often means more exposure to heat, humidity, sweat, sunscreen, and chlorinated water—all of which can impact the longevity and appearance of your lash extensions. Without proper care, lashes may shed prematurely, lose their curl, or get tangled.

But don’t worry—our experts at RJ Hair Creations have your back with these simple yet essential summer lash care tips.

💦 1. Keep Lashes Clean with a Lash-Friendly Cleanser

Sweat, oils, and sunscreen can build up on your lash line, weakening the adhesive. Use a gentle, oil-free lash cleanser daily to keep your lashes clean and healthy. At RJ Hair Creations, we recommend cleaning with a soft lash brush to avoid tugging or pulling.

🏖️ 2. Avoid Heat and Steam

Heat can loosen lash adhesive. Try to avoid direct heat exposure, including saunas, steam rooms, and even hot ovens. When blow-drying your hair, angle the dryer away from your face.

🏊 3. Be Cautious Around Water

Swimming in pools or oceans? No problem—just be mindful. Chlorine and saltwater can affect lash retention. After swimming, gently rinse your face with clean water and pat your lashes dry with a soft towel—no rubbing!

🌬️ 4. Skip Oil-Based Products

Oil breaks down lash glue. Avoid oil-based sunscreens, skincare, and makeup removers around your eyes. Opt for water-based or lash-safe alternatives to preserve your lashes.

🧴 5. Protect from Sunscreen Smudges

While sunscreen is a summer essential, applying it too close to your eyes can affect your lashes. Use a stick or mineral sunscreen on your face to minimize the risk of residue transferring to your lash line.

🛌 6. Sleep on Your Back

Summer nights might tempt you to toss and turn, but sleeping on your stomach or side can crush your lash extensions. Try using a silk pillowcase and sleeping on your back to protect your lashes while you rest.

📅 7. Maintain Regular Fills

During summer, you might need lash fills more often due to increased shedding. Book your lash refill appointments regularly at RJ Hair Creations to keep your lashes looking full and beautiful.

🌸 Bonus Tip: Stay Hydrated and Healthy

Your natural lash health reflects your overall wellness. Drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet, and take care of your skin. Healthy lashes = better extension retention!
