Fill a big bowl with hot water and place your face over it. Steam your face for 15 minutes to help loosen the glue (putting a towel over the back of your head will keep the steam in). This bit is also pretty great for the skin – especially stubborn blackheads.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":7279},{"block_title":"Soak the lashes","block_content":"
Soak a cotton pad in oil (olive or coconut oil work best) and hold it against your lashes for a couple of minutes. The oil breaks down the glue – hence why you avoid oil-based cleansers when wearing extensions – and your lash extensions should slide right off.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":7280},{"block_title":"Cleanse your skin","block_content":"
Since the steam has opened up your pores, now is a pretty good time to cleanse. Remove any oil residue from the eye area and then double-cleanse the face and neck – the first is to get rid of any dirt, while the second actually cleans the skin.<\/p>\n\n
