Remover for eyelashes: types, instructions. Removal of extensions

Eyelash extension is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in recent years. For a little money you can become the owner of luxurious thick and long eyelashes and do not mess around every morning with mascara and tweezers. But, as in any such procedure, periodic correction and removal of extensions are required. The latter can be done in a beauty salon or at home. Both there, and there will be used a remover, that is a special tool for removing the extended eyelashes.

What is and why?

Narrown eyelashes are hairs or bunches of artificial hair, silk threads, natural hairs from a wool column or sable. These hairs are glued to the eyelids by the eyelash growth line, imitating natural ones. For gluing special compositions are used based on:

• Cyanocrylates - liquid hypoallergenic adhesive, which is applied in a thin layer and instantly dries;
• Resins - dries more slowly, so it allows you to correct flaws, for which we love beginners masters. May cause a reaction.

When the cilia need to be removed (for example, to change completely or to return to the natural image), a special compound is used that dissolves the glue. It is called "eyelash remover".

Home and professional products

There are two fundamentally different approaches to the removal of eyelashes. One assumes that the procedure will be performed in the salon by the hands of the master. The other is home, when you can remove eyelashes yourself. However, at home you can resort to the help of natural improvised means or buy a special eyelash remover.

Home remedies are a regular cream or vegetable oil that can dissolve glue. And special remouvers are available in different forms and with different compositions. There are cream, gel, and liquid options. Ideally, for each type of eyelash and glue you need to choose your own remover, but most of them can be considered universal.

When choosing carefully study the range, choose only the tested product, since getting a poor-quality remover in the eyes threatens with serious problems: from redness of eyes and burning to conjunctivitis and even short-term vision loss.

Where to buy a remover for removal of extended eyelashes

Compositions for professional and home removal of eyelashes can be purchased in specialized stores, where an assortment for beauty salons is presented. Today there are a lot of such shops on the Internet, and in several large cities there are several offline points.

Also very popular are Chinese-made removers sold on Chinese sites, such as "Taobao" or "Aliexpress." Before ordering products there, look for a trusted seller with a lot of positive real feedback.

Debonder and other eyelash liquid

Liquid eyelash remover based on a special solvent has a chemical formula, similar to all known acetone, but it is a softer and more gentle remedy. However, its action is still very aggressive and can cause burning of the eyelids. The minus of such a remover is also that it can easily catch in your eyes and cause extremely unpleasant sensations, therefore it is recommended to use this tool only in beauty salons and only with an experienced master.

To ensure that the solution does not leak onto the mucosa of the lower eyelid, it is covered with a cotton pad and impregnated with the composition of all artificial cilia directly in the basal capsules with glue. After a few minutes, the eyelashes are removed with a special brush, and the eyelids are rubbed with lotion to remove the remnants of the product.

A concept such as "debouncer" is also used. In fact, this is a liquid remover, reviews of masters, however, indicate that it is best suited for point correction in the process of building, and not for the complete removal of all eyelashes.

Also there are lotions. They also have a liquid form, but are applied to the roots of the eyelashes with a cotton swab and are left to act for 5-10 minutes.

The liquid formula is very popular, due to its low price (about 300 rubles) and high efficiency. But with all the disadvantages of the liquid has both a remover and a debander. The price for such products starts from 200-250 rubles. For example, a reset from NEICHA costs 230 rubles. Also liquid remouches are in the line of Lovely, 10 ml cost about 250 rubles, and the brand IRISK offers for 520 rubles a professional debander. The price of one of the most expensive means in the segment is 880 rubles for a product from Dolce vita.

Cream

The next most popular type is the remover. Its advantages over the liquid formula is that it does not flow into the eyes and mucous and can do less harm, so it is easy for them to use even at home.

Cream means for removal of eyelashes put on time till ten minutes that the fatty oils in its structure had time to dissolve glue. Then all artificial hairs are pulled out with tweezers. If some are separated with difficulty, this means that the cream needs to be given more time. Since the cilia are removed one at a time, it is best to use a cream to remove the bundles on a light glue. Then the procedure will be faster and softer.

One of the popular products in this segment is the Glue Remover Dolce Vita cream with caring ingredients to give shine and strength to the cilia. Its price is about 800 rubles. Lovely cream is similar in price and quality (there are variants with different flavors), as well as the product of the Korean brand HS Chemical.

Gel

Remover in this form is most convenient, as the product is squeezed out pointwise and neatly, keeps the shape well, and therefore does not flow and does not lubricate, affecting only glue or resin. There are gels more aggressive, based on acetone, for example, under the brand Dolce Vita - it needs to be applied with a special brush. And there are gels hypoallergenic, not bringing any harm to the mucous and native eyelashes. Among them, gel from Lovely with peach flavor (450 rubles), a product from the brand AG (500 rubles), as well as a gentle remover "Premium" from NEICHA HS Chemical, intended for sensitive eyes (550 rubles) - after its application, eyelashes can be separated As a cotton swab, and a special brush, micro-scraping.

Home remedies

Most often in the removal of eyelashes at home used oils - burdock or castor oil. Their fats can dissolve the glue, and strengthen the cilia and make them thicker. Removal of the extended eyelashes with oil involves the use of cotton discs - they need to be cut in half and cut the center in a crescent so that the disc just falls under the lower eyelid. It is necessary that the oil is not caked under the eyelid and does not cause irritation.

Two dry halves put under the lower eyelashes, slightly heat the oil and soak the other two halves of the discs in it. Apply compresses with oil on your eyelashes and lie down for 20 minutes so that the glue dissolves. After that, massage your fingers lightly with your eyelids and remove the ciliated tweezers with tweezers. If any hairs do not move away, do not pull for them, so as not to pull out relatives, and better repeat the procedure again.

Another way to remove eyelashes on your own is to use as a means for removing eyelashes the usual baby cream, which is sold in pharmacies. First, this cream is very greasy, which will dissolve the glue, and secondly, it is hypoallergenic, which is important when used on the eye and eyelid areas. The principle of removal is the same as with oil.

After the use of a remover

Whatever remover for eyelashes you have not chosen, the procedure can have a painful effect on the condition of your native eyelashes. And the eyes and mucous of the eyelids can be irritated. To minimize the unpleasant consequences, immediately after removing the eyelashes, treat the eyelids with a lotion suitable for the eye area to wash off the remover remnants. Then wash with clean running water. If the salon does not have such an opportunity, at least wipe your face with damp cosmetic napkins. The final stage is to spread eyelashes with coconut or castor oil to restore their health and natural beauty.
