Eye makeup remover is one of the cleaning products that can be used to help remove false eyelashes comfortably and efficiently. This is because this product is specifically designed to remove makeup around the eyes, including false eyelash glue that usually sticks tightly between the skin and the eye product.
The thing you have to pay attention to if you want to use this method is that your hands must be in a clean condition. After that, you can place a cotton swab filled with eye makeup remover between the eyes. Then let it sit for a while until the product is able to soften the eyelash glue and make the removal process easier.
When you feel that the glue is slowly becoming softer, then you can remove the false eyelashes from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner carefully, so as not to damage the original eyelashes. After that, remove the remaining glue using a cotton swab or cotton bud with eye makeup remover.
2. Clean with oil-based remover

The next way you can clean false eyelashes, so that they can be removed comfortably is to use an oil-based makeup remover. This product has an oil-like formula and texture. This can help soften the glue that sticks to the lashes so that they can be removed comfortably.
The method is almost similar to the use of the previous remover. You can apply it on a cotton pad, then place it on the false eyelashes until you feel that the glue turns soft.
After that, you can carefully remove the false eyelashes from tip to tip. This is done to avoid damaging the original lashes or hurting the eyelids. Next, you can clean up the rest to make your eyes comfortable again.
3. Use coconut oil

If you don’t have an oil-based makeup remover, then you can use natural oils directly to help remove false eyelashes comfortably and easily. This is because coconut oil has properties that soften the glue, so you can remove the false eyelashes comfortably.
The first thing to do, of course, is to take a cotton swab or cotton bud. Then, dip it in the oil and place it on the false eyelashes until you find that the remnants of the glue become soft and it is easy to remove the eyelashes without pain.
That way, you can move on to the next stage of cleaning up the glue residue on the eyelid near the real lashes.
4. Use a warm water towel

This method can be applied, if you find that false eyelashes are a bit difficult to remove. First, prepare a clean towel and a bowl of warm water. Then, you can wet the towel using the water that is already available. Make sure the water is not too hot so as not to harm your eye skin.
After that, just put the wet towel around the eyes. Press gently above and below the eyes to soften the glue that sticks to the false eyelashes. Do this for a few minutes. If you feel that the glue has softened, then you can remove the towel and start removing the false eyelashes carefully.
By doing so, you can also proceed to the next step of cleaning to remove any remaining glue. This technique is very convenient and can be done anytime when you run out of remover. However, do it carefully and make sure that the water is not hot, so as to reduce any cuts that may occur around the eye skin.
False eyelashes can indeed add to the look to be more charming and dramatic. However, cleaning them should not be done carelessly so that the area around the eyelids and real eyelashes remains clean and healthy.
It does not leave residual eyelash glue that can irritate. To remove false eyelashes comfortably, you can apply the four methods above and choose the most comfortable way to do it.
