Encountering Issues? Here’s Your Ultimate Usage Guide!
Before using Pestana products, please read this guide carefully to ensure the best results and avoid any potential issues.
Usage Guide: Apply the Right Way
For safe and effective use, follow these steps:
1️⃣ Pestana Lash Tonic – Apply every morning only on the lash roots. Let it dry completely before continuing with your routine.
2️⃣ Pestana Jelly Oil – Apply every night before bed on existing lashes (like applying mascara).
3️⃣ Pestana Rescue Oil – Apply every night before bed, but do not use it on the same day as Jelly Oil.
• Example: If you apply Jelly Oil on Monday, apply Rescue Oil on Tuesday, and so on.
✅ Patch Test Before Use! Always test a small amount on your skin to check for allergies.
⚠️ Do Not Overapply! Excessive use may cause irritation or even milia (tiny white bumps caused by clogged pores and keratin buildup).
Common Issues & How to Avoid Them
❌ Prone to Milia?
If you have a history of milia or skin that easily develops them, avoid overapplying. Our serums contain proteins that nourish the lashes, but excess product can cause keratin buildup, which may contribute to milia formation. Use a lash guard to prevent excess serum from getting on your skin.
❌ Watery or Sensitive Eyes?
If you have sensitive eyes, applying lash serum might be tricky. Here’s how to prevent excess product from getting into your eyes:
✔️ Control the amount – Wipe off excess serum at the tip of the bottle before applying.
✔️ Use a lash guard to prevent too much product from touching your skin or entering your eyes.
❌ Lash Fallout?
Lash serums do not stop natural lash shedding—this is part of the normal lash cycle. However, our serums help reduce excessive fallout caused by dryness or damage from cosmetics and harsh makeup removers.
• If you notice more fallout than usual, don’t panic—this is part of the cycle.
• If fallout seems excessive, patch test again to check for sensitivity.
• If you’ve recently switched from a lash serum with artificial growth stimulants, your lashes might go through an adjustment period. Wait 2–4 weeks before transitioning to a new lash serum.
How Long Before You See Results?
✔️ Consistency is key – Results vary, but most users notice improvements within 4–8 weeks with daily use.
✔️ Patience pays off – Lash growth is a slow process, and results depend on your natural lash cycle.
What If You Miss a Day?
✔️ No worries! Just continue as usual the next day. Do not double the application to make up for a missed day.
✔️ Overuse won’t speed up results and may cause irritation.
Can You Use It with Eyelash Extensions?
✔️ Yes! Pestana Lash Enhancing Tonic is lash-extension safe, water-based and will not weaken the adhesive.
❌ Avoid oil-based products like Pestana Jelly Oil and Rescue Oil directly on extensions, as oils can break down the glue.
Can It Be Used on Eyebrows?
✔️ Yes! Pestana Lash Tonic can also be applied to eyebrows to help promote growth, but apply sparingly.
Who Should Avoid Using It?
❌ Those with existing eye infections or conditions (styes, conjunctivitis, etc.).
❌ Those who have had recent eye surgery or LASIK (wait until fully healed).
❌ Those with known allergies to any ingredients (always patch test first!).
How to Maximize Lash Health Naturally
✔️ Remove eye makeup gently to prevent lash breakage.
✔️ Avoid rubbing your eyes excessively to prevent lash loss.
✔️ Eat a nutrient-rich diet with biotin, vitamin E, and omega-3s to support lash health
Storage Tips: Keep It Effective!
❌ Avoid storing lash serums in hot places or direct sunlight—this will cause them to dry out faster and reduce their effectiveness.
By following these tips, you’ll achieve healthier, longer, and stronger lashes in no time!
