It is advisable to remove false eyelashes before going to sleep. This can be easily done by using a makeup remover or eyelash remover. Keep the false eyelashes in a good clean condition, soak the false eyelashes in an eye cleaning solution until the next time you put them on.

Never pull the lashes from your lids, as you may pull your own lashes out or rip your skin. Also, you should never apply glue directly to your eyelids as this may get into your eyes, or you may glue your eye shut!

Removing false eyelashes

Firstly hold the inside edge of the lash next to your nose, and gently, slowly, pull lash off toward your ear.

Using a cotton swab with false eyelash remover on your eyelids, gently dab the eyelash remover on your lash line. Start applying from the outer edge inwards. If you do not have eyelash remover, as an alternative, you can make use of an eye makeup remover. Once the glue has fully softened, gently hold one corner of the lash band and slowly pull the lash band from your eyelid. If you need to remove individual eyelashes, it is best to make use of a pair of tweezers.

There may still be some glue on the eyelid. This can be removed with a cotton bud and some eyelash remover or eye makeup remover. They may also be some advice on removing the glue on the glue bottle.

Alternative methods for Removing False Eye Lashes

Try using petroleum jelly. This usually loosens the lashes so that they can be removed with warm water. A lot of people just use soap and water. Also, I have heard using olive oil helps loosen the glue.

Reusing your false eyelashes

If you keeping your false eyelashes clean and in a sterile condition, there is no reason why you cannot reuse them. Once the false eyelashes have been cleaned in soap water, place them in a container with eye cleaning solution etc for storage. Off course to be on the safe side, you should also clean the lashes prior to applying them in future.
