Saline or water for rinsing during a lash service?

So, you're in the lash game, huh? You've got your tweezers, your adhesive, and your lash extensions on point. But when it comes to rinsing those luscious lashes, do you reach for the saline or stick with good ol' H2O? Let's dive into this wet and wild debate!

What's the Deal with Saline?

Saline solution is like the fancy cousin of water. It's got that extra oomph that makes it stand out in a crowd. Saline is a gentle, sterile solution that's perfect for sensitive eyes. It's like a spa day for your peepers! Saline is preservative free, isotonic (matches your body's salt content exactly) and it keeps the natural tear film intact. Keeping the natural tear film intact will help the eye defend against the chemicals and irritants that are introduced during a lash service. And as a bonus, saline solution is pH balanced - which makes for a much more comfortable rinse during their lash extension service.

Water, Water Everywhere

Good old water - the elixir of life! It's refreshing, it's abundant, and it's free (unless you're buying bottled water, then it's just fancy H2O). Water is a natural choice for rinsing, but is it the best option for those delicate lashes? At home, clients washing in the shower or at the sink, water is just fine! You aren't introducing chemicals and irritants like you do during a lash service. 

The Verdict: Saline or Water?

Drumroll, please! The verdict is...saline! Yep, that's right. Saline solution is the winner in this wet and wild showdown. It's gentle, it's soothing, and it's the perfect choice for rinsing during a lash service. Your clients' eyes will thank you!

But hey, if you're in a pinch and all you've got is good old water, don't sweat it! Water will do the trick in a pinch. Just remember, when it comes to keeping those lashes clean, fresh, pH balanced - saline is the way to go!

So there you have it, folks! The great saline vs. water debate has been settled. When it comes to rinsing during a lash service, reach for the saline and give those lashes the VIP treatment they deserve!
