SUMMER LASH AND SUNSCREEN TIPS
Summer is amazing. Sunscreen is not. The moment you step outside, your lashes start fighting a losing battle against sweat, oil, and SPF. Here’s how to keep your lashes looking great all summer long.
WHY SUNSCREEN IS YOUR LASHES' WORST ENEMY
Sunscreen contains oils and chemicals that break down lash adhesive. If you wear extensions or strip lashes, the glue can weaken and slide off. Even if you don’t wear lashes, sunscreen can make your natural lashes stiff, brittle, and dry. The worst culprit? Spray sunscreens. They get into your eyes and all over your lash line without you noticing.
HOW TO APPLY SUNSCREEN WITHOUT RUINING YOUR LASHES
- Apply sunscreen to your face first. Wait 5 minutes for it to dry.
- Use a powder sunscreen or a stick formula around your eye area.
- Sweep a setting powder over your lash line to lock the sunscreen in place.
- Never spray sunscreen directly at your face. Spray it into your hands and pat it on.
- Carry a small lash comb to fix any clumps after you’ve been outside.
THE BEST LASHES FOR SUMMER (ACCORDING TO A BEAUTY EDITOR)
If you’re going to the beach, a pool, or a wedding, you need lashes that can handle sweat and humidity. Look for lightweight, water-resistant lashes that don’t rely on heavy glue. In my experience, the best summer lashes are the ones you forget you’re wearing. They should feel like nothing — and stay in place while you’re having fun.
SUMMER LASH MISTAKES I SEE EVERY YEAR
- Wearing heavy, dramatic lashes to the beach. They look great for a photo, then melt by noon.
- Rubbing your eyes when sunscreen gets in them. This destroys your lashes instantly.
- Using old, expired lash glue. Summer heat makes it even less reliable.
- Sleeping in your lashes after a summer day. Sweat and sunscreen create bacteria.
