Because sweat, sunscreen & saltwater shouldn't mess with your glam.
Headed somewhere sunny? Got a beach weekend on the books? Or maybe you're just soaking up that desert summer and want to keep your lashes and brows looking flawless through the heat?
Either way â your beauty routine doesnât get to take a vacation. But donât stress â weâve got your back (and your face).
Hereâs everything you need to know about keeping your lash extensions and permanent makeup in tip-top shape while youâre on the move. Letâs go. âď¸đ

âď¸ Traveling With Lash Extensions? Donât Skip This.
Your lash extensions can absolutely come along â just prep a little and pack smart.
â Bring your aftercare kit
Our freshly restocked kits are TSA-approved and travel-sized, complete with lash shampoo, cleansing brush, and a spoolie. Toss it in your carry-on and youâre golden.
â Avoid oily products
Sunscreens and makeup removers with oils can break down lash glue and cause premature shedding (not the kind of shedding we want on vacay đ).
â Donât skip your cleanse
Pool water, ocean spray, and sweat can lead to build-up. A quick daily lash cleanse keeps your eyes feeling fresh and your fans full.
â Book your fill before takeoff
Get your fill 2â3 days before you leave to make sure everything is bonded, fresh, and ready for those sun-kissed selfies. đ¸
đŹ âI always tell clients to get a fill a couple of days before traveling â not the day of. It gives everything time to set and look perfect for pics.ââ Ashli, Owner + Artist at WiNKED
đŚ Can You Swim With Tattooed Brows?
If your brows are freshly done (like, healed within the last 2 weeks), keep them away from water â period.
But if theyâre fully healed? Youâre cleared to cannonball â with care.
âď¸ Dab (donât rub) sunscreen on your brows
âď¸ Keep your goggles/sunglasses clean
âď¸ Reapply SPF frequently â and gently
Pro Tip: Book a brow refresh now to get ahead of summer fading. A quick touch-up keeps your color rich and shape sharp â no filter needed.
