Lash Retention Issues While Wearing Masks
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our daily lives and the way we work. As lash artists, it’s been our practice to wear a mask even before pandemic, but what will happen if clients are also required to wear masks? Does wearing a mask cause lash retention issues?
We are currently in a global pandemic and many of us are wearing masks on a daily basis. Masks cause us to use our mouths while we talk, breathe, and eat. Unfortunately, the air that comes out of our mouths is full of dirt, debris, and germs. When we speak with our clients, their eyes are right in line with our mouth and germs from our breath get into their eyes. The lashes that are closest to the eye become soiled and eventually fall off. This causes premature lash loss for your client and ultimately affects your retention rate.
