The Benefits Of Wearing Mask While Lashing

As a lash artist, you know how close you get to your clients. But have you thought about how wearing a mask can improve your experience, keep you healthy, and make your clients feel more comfortable?

Let’s explore why masking up is a smart move for lash artists.

The Benefit Of Wearing Mask While Lashing

 

 

1. Protects You from Adhesive Fumes

  • Why it matters: Lash adhesives contain chemicals like cyanoacrylate that can irritate your respiratory system.

  • How a mask helps: It blocks inhalation of fumes, protecting your lungs and throat from irritation or long-term health issues.

 

2. Enhances Professional Appearance

  • Why it matters: Clients value hygiene and professionalism, especially when you’re working so close to their face.

  • How a mask helps: It reassures clients you’re committed to maintaining a clean, safe environment for them.

 

3. Minimizes Cross-Contamination

  • Why it matters: Being close to clients increases the risk of bacteria, saliva, or droplets getting onto your tools or their face.

  • How a mask helps: It reduces the chance of germs spreading from you to your client’s skin or lashes.

 

4. Improves Focus During Sessions

  • Why it matters: Staying focused is key to creating precise, beautiful lash extensions.

  • How a mask helps: It prevents face-touching and distractions, keeping you laser-focused on the details of your work.

 

5. Reduces Allergic Reactions

  • Why it matters: Tiny lash particles and dust can irritate your respiratory system, causing sneezing or discomfort.

  • How a mask helps: It filters out those small irritants, letting you work comfortably without allergy triggers.

 

6. Creates a Barrier Against Skin Contact

  • Why it matters: Your breath carries bacteria and moisture, which can transfer onto the client’s skin and cause irritation.

  • How a mask helps: It blocks any bacteria or moisture from your breath, maintaining a more sanitary working space.

 

7. Provides Comfort and Security to Clients

  • Why it matters: Clients feel vulnerable with their eyes closed for long periods.

  • How a mask helps: It reassures clients that their health is your priority, making them feel safe and comfortable during the appointment.

 

8. Improves Personal Hygiene Habits

  • Why it matters: Good hygiene is essential for preventing infection and keeping a professional workspace.

  • How a mask helps: Wearing a mask encourages better hygiene practices, from handwashing to tool sanitization.

 

9. Helps Prevent Bad Breath Exposure

  • Why it matters: Close contact means clients can sometimes smell your breath, which can be uncomfortable for them.

  • How a mask helps: It acts as a barrier, keeping any breath-related issues from affecting your professional image.

 

10. Keeps You Warm in Cooler Seasons

  • Why it matters: Lash rooms often need to be kept cool for adhesive performance, but this can be uncomfortable during long sessions.

  • How a mask helps: It provides warmth for your face, making it easier to focus without the distraction of a cold nose.

HOW SHOULD A FACE MASK BE WORN

  • Before touching the face mask, wash your hands with soap and water.

  • Remove the masks from the dispenser or package and inspect them for any holes or tears.

  • Make sure you determine which side is the top and which is the front of the mask, so you can properly wear the mask.

  • Face masks with ear loops: hold by the ear loops and put the loops around each ear.

  • Face masks with ties: bring a mask to your nose and place the ties over your head to secure with a tie.

  • Face masks with bands: hold the mask to your nose and pull the top strap over the crown of your head and pull the bottom strap over your head so its at the nape of your neck.

  • Pull the mask over your mouth and chin.
