Summer in Malta: Your Go-To Lash Care Guide 2024

Summer in Malta is a season of sun, sea, and style. As we embrace the joys of beach days and navigate the comfort of air-conditioned offices, it’s crucial to keep our beauty routine on point. At April Koa, we understand the unique challenges the Maltese summer brings to your lash care. Here’s your go-to guide for keeping those lashes looking fabulous all summer long.

Understanding Lash Extensions

Lash extensions are more than just a beauty trend; they’re a lifestyle choice for women who want to look and feel their best without the daily hassle of mascara. At April Koa, we offer a variety of extensions, from natural to full glam, each customised to enhance your unique beauty.

Challenges of Summer for Lash Extensions

Summer in Malta isn’t just about sunshine; it’s about coping with humidity, saltwater, chlorine, and dry air-conditioned environments. These elements can affect the longevity and look of your lash extensions.

Maintenance Tips for Beach Days

Heading to the beach? Here are some tips to protect your lashes from the sun and sea:

• Avoid direct exposure to saltwater and chlorine as they can weaken the lash glue.
• Wear a wide-brimmed hat to shield your lashes from direct sunlight.
• After a beach day, gently rinse your lashes with fresh water.

Caring for Lash Extensions in Air-Conditioned Environments

Air conditioning can dry out your lashes. Keep them lush and healthy with these tips:

• Use a hydrating lash serum, available at our salon.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes, which can stress the extensions.

Regular Upkeep with Infills

Regular infills are crucial during summer. Sweat and outdoor activities can affect your lash retention. Book your infill appointments at April Koa to keep your extensions looking full and fresh. We recommend an infill every two to three weeks, especially during the hot summer months.

Customised Advice for Different Age Groups

Whether you’re in your 20s or enjoying your 60s, lash extensions can be a game-changer. We tailor our lash care advice to suit your age, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Our younger clients might prefer bolder, more dramatic lashes for those summer parties, while our more mature clients might opt for a natural, elegant look. Regardless of age, our expert team at April Koa is here to provide personalised advice and services.

✨ Must-Know Lash Care Tips: Top 4 FAQs Answered! ✨

1. How long do lash extensions last in summer?

Lash extensions typically last between 4 to 6 weeks, but during summer, factors like humidity, sweat, and exposure to saltwater or chlorine can reduce their longevity. We recommend booking infill appointments every 2 to 3 weeks to keep your lashes looking fresh and full.

2. Can I swim with my lash extensions?

Yes, you can swim with lash extensions, but it’s essential to avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater and chlorine as they can weaken the adhesive bond. After swimming, gently rinse your lashes with fresh water and avoid rubbing them.

3. What should I avoid after getting lash extensions?

To ensure your lash extensions last, avoid rubbing your eyes, using oil-based makeup removers, and exposing your lashes to steam or heat for the first 24 to 48 hours. Be cautious with makeup products that could interfere with the adhesive, such as mascara or eyeliner containing oil.

4. How do I care for my lashes in an air-conditioned environment?

Air conditioning can dry out your lashes, making them more brittle. To prevent this, use a hydrating lash serum and avoid touching or rubbing your eyes. Keep your lashes clean by brushing them gently with a spoolie brush and rinsing with fresh water when needed.

Conclusion

Remember, the key to beautiful lash extensions in summer is maintenance and professional care. By following these tips and visiting April Koa for regular infills and expert advice, you can keep your lashes looking perfect, whether you’re lounging on the beach or working in an office.
