After a lot of stress at work, a short break is a must, right? But while we give our bodies a rest period every now and then, our eye make-up should always fit well. Here too, you should switch down a gear from time to time. Especially after eyelash extensions, it is worth to give your eyelashes a break. But even if you use mascara every day, it makes sense to go for a natural look and let the eye area breathe – completely free of make-up.
Why a break from eyelashes makes sense
It’s an open secret: Eyelash extensions provide a wow effect, but in the long run they take a toll on the fine hairs. Constant make-up in the form of mascara can also damage the eyelashes and, in the worst case, lead to breakage – and then you should take a break from eyelashes at the latest. Just 48 hours work wonders.
- Regeneration: After 3-4 weeks of eyelash extensions, your eyelashes need a break. This allows gaps to close and the fine hairs to recover.
- Damage limitation: Too much mascara, especially waterproof versions, makes the eyelashes brittle and causes them to fall out. This is another reason why it makes sense to take a break from mascara.
- Care focus: Use the break for a kind of wellness moment. Care for your eyelashes with serums, castor oil or aloe vera so that the eyelashes regain their strength.

The best tips for taking a break from your eyelashes
If you want to give your eyelashes a little break, it’s worth taking intensive care. There are two more perfect tips here.
1. Gently remove make-up
In order for your eyelashes to regenerate perfectly, you should first clean your eyelashes thoroughly so that all mascara residue is removed. Our tip: the “Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Balm” from Clinichimself waterproof mascara melts and ensures particularly gentle cleaning.
2. Never rub!
Always handle your eyelashes carefully because the fine hairs are very sensitive. Therefore, avoid friction when removing make-up.
