Hoi An is famous for its breathtaking ancient streets, glowing lanterns, and stunning tropical beaches like An Bang. However, the warm, humid climate of Central Vietnam can sometimes be a challenge for eyelash extensions. Sweat, moisture, and sunscreen can break down the lash adhesive faster if you aren't careful.
To keep your lashes looking full, glamorous, and flawless throughout your vacation, here are our top 5 professional tips:
1. Wait 24 to 48 Hours Before Getting Them Wet
If you've just walked out of our salon with a brand new classic or volume set, please avoid swimming, saunas, or intense exercise that makes you sweat. The adhesive needs time to cure completely. Walking around the hot sun right away can weaken the bond.
2. Avoid Oil-Based Sunscreens on Your Face
Sunscreen is a absolute must in Hoi An. However, standard oil-based sunscreens can melt down from your forehead onto your eyelids, breaking down the lash adhesive.
- Our Tip: Use a matte, oil-free sunscreen on your face, or specifically avoid the delicate area directly around your eyes.
3. Brush Your Lashes Daily (and Gently)
Humidity and wind can make your lashes tangle. We provide a complimentary lash spoolie (brush) with every service. Brush your lashes once in the morning and once after showering once they are completely dry. Always brush from the middle of the lash to the tip, never from the root!
4. Wash Your Lashes with Clean Water After Swimming
If you take a dip in the salty sea at An Bang Beach or the chlorinated pool at your villa, rinse your face and lashes with fresh, clean bottled water as soon as possible. Salt and chlorine can dehydrate the lashes and damage the adhesive bond.
5. Sleep on Your Back
Hoi An homestays have incredibly comfortable beds, but sleeping face-down on cotton pillowcases can friction-pull your lashes. Try to sleep on your back, or use a silk/satin pillowcase if you have one.
