WHY THE BEACH IS THE HARSHEST TEST FOR YOUR LASHES

Saltwater has a pH of around 8, which slowly dissolves lash adhesive. Chlorine is even worse. Sunscreen, especially oil-based formulas, breaks down the glue. And sand acts like sandpaper, rubbing against your lashes every time you towel off. It's a perfect storm.

THE 4 BEACH LASH RULES YOU NEED TO KNOW

1) Use waterproof everything — waterproof mascara or waterproof lash adhesive. 2) Avoid oil-based sunscreen near your eyes. 3) Pat your lashes dry with a tissue, never rub. 4) Carry a mini repair kit with spare lashes and a tiny bottle of adhesive.

HOW TO CHOOSE BEACH-PROOF LASHES (THE SPECS THAT MATTER)

Look for lashes with a strong curl that won't droop in humidity, a lightweight band that won't slip when wet, and synthetic fibers that dry quickly. Avoid mink or natural hair lashes — they absorb water and lose their shape.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I swim with lash extensions?

Yes, but avoid rubbing your eyes and try to rinse them with fresh water after swimming. Saltwater can weaken the adhesive over time.

What's the best way to dry lashes after the beach?

Gently pat them with a tissue and let them air dry. Never use a towel.
