Show Download Article Individual false eyelashes help to create a dramatic and voluminous look. If the lashes were applied in a salon, you can have them removed there, or you can remove them yourself if you prefer. If you want a natural option, use steam and oil to remove the lash glue. If you’re looking for a more traditional approach, use a lash removal gel to dissolve the glue and remove the lashes. Both processes are quick, easy, and won't damage your natural lashes.

About This ArticleArticle SummaryX If you’ve had individual false eyelashes applied at a salon, you can remove them naturally at home with steam and oil. Start by pulling your hair back and washing your face with a gentle cleanser. Pat your face dry with a clean towel. Next, boil about 32 ounces (1 L) of water in a kettle and pour the hot water into a large glass bowl. Sit with your face about 12 inches (30 cm) away from the bowl for 10-15 minutes and let the steam soak into your skin and eyelashes. The steam will help loosen the glue on your lashes. Starting at the outer corners of your eyes and working your way in, begin gently pulling out each individual false lash using your fingers or a pair of tweezers. If a lash is painful to remove, soak your face in the steam for another 2 minutes and try again. Next, dip a cotton pad in olive or coconut oil and gently wipe the pad over your lash line to remove any glue and stray lashes you may have missed. When you’re done, wipe the excess oil away with a clean tissue. Another quick option is to use a commercial false eyelash remover gel. Coat a cotton swab in the gel and rub it along your lash line, then wait 3 minutes for the glue to dissolve, with your eyes closed. Soak a clean, soft washcloth or cotton pad in cool water and use it to rub away the gel, dissolved glue, and loose eyelashes. Did this summary help you?
