Why is it important to avoid skin contact with eyelash adhesives?

Avoiding skin contact with eyelash adhesives is vital primarily to reduce the risk of irritation or allergic reactions. Eyelash adhesives contain strong chemicals designed to bond extensions securely to natural lashes, but these same chemicals can cause skin irritation, redness, or allergic reactions if they come into contact with the skin. Such reactions can lead to discomfort for clients and potentially harm their skin and eyes.

Proper application techniques aim to keep the adhesive firmly attached to the natural lashes and away from the sensitive skin around the eyes. By minimizing skin contact, lash stylists can help ensure that clients have a more pleasant experience during and after the application process, and ultimately, maintain the integrity of the lash extensions while safeguarding the client's health and well-being.
