Actually 10:26 😢 😂😂

[@wonderwoman8021]

Excellent video….but exceptionally long. I had to keep fast forwarding it. But I love you and your info is SO spot on!

[@DrRupaWong]

I've gotten better at editing to keep my videos shorter!

[@cynthiabowie7838]

I love all your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I have been a lash artist for almost 10 years now and I'm always reminding my clients to clean their lashes. I'll have to forward your video to my stubborn ones, lol.

[@DrRupaWong]

Thank you! That's exactly what my lash artist is going too. She said she has one particular client who refuses to clean her lashes because she is so cared tools them and that they look really atrocious!

[@likas9648]

Can you please talk about getting an allergic reaction with lash extensions I recently ended up with a swollen eye my eye doctor thought it might be just too much glue in the one eye but my lash lines were both itchy and red

[@AHeatedMess]

Thanks for this helpful video!! I was considering lash extensions so this is great to know. I wouldn’t be surprised if a beauty brand takes advantage of this untapped market and comes out with an eyelash extension shampoo 😂🧴👁🕷

[@DrRupaWong]

I bet that's coming!

[@hanumamaofficial]

It has been around for a while actually. 😊

[@veronicamoon9759]

Just bought 2 brushes to have a backup! Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@DrRupaWong]

i'm glad!

[@abie4230]

There are gonna be times where an extension is attached to your natural lash. You lost 3-5 natural eyelashes a day. The extensions are adhered directly to your natural lash, so when they shed, you will see the extension attached to it. Just as long as they are not falling out in clumps or seeing a few natural lashes stuck to an extension. that is the point in which there’s a problem!

[@emol33]

I have minor blepharitis or least that’s what I think it is so my lid will get puffy after lash extensions for like few days then it goes away so I took off my lash extensions for about three months now do you think I can ever get it again or best to just not ever try again I really love lash extensions

[@melonisesimon7332]

I do watch your channel and it is very easy for me to get information I need to get diy lash extensions, I have tried the magnetic lashes....will keep trying to perfect the application process. I trust you and your expertise, love, love the show....!!!!

[@DrRupaWong]

Aww thank you so much!!! if I can save one person from having an awful infection, then i'll be happy!

[@Cinnamon349]

Is it possible that the red irritation can be from the adhesive? I’ve had extensions for a year and 1 red itchy area on lid line. I bought the product you suggested will see if that helps

[@DrRupaWong]

It is definitely possible. If you have irritation it is best not to use it again. You may be having an allergic reaction to it. Let me know if that helps!

[@sheralyncaupain9481]

Isn't micellar water slightly oil based? I use the pink garnier one but it has Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate as the 4th ingredient which is derived from coconut oil. I'm afraid to use it on my lashes because I fear they might fall out instantly

[@justcommenting241]

Could we use a regular makeup brush if we clean it beforehand?

[@donking5504]

Thank you so much Doc very informative God bless you.

[@DrRupaWong]

Same to you!!

[@susanmeadows627]

Another great video! Thanks again beautiful! And I can't wink either. ❤️

[@lipstickprincess1]

I purchased the foam they sold, cleaned my lashes and they still fell out in between fills.

[@DrRupaWong]

Mine did too. I even purchased the brush and the little fan my lash artist sold too

[@wingsphysio]

Dear Dr. you say that you just brush your lashes in the morning. Do you wash your face in the morning with water? Or just use a flannel with warm water?

[@DrRupaWong]

I actually use a little lash brush and brush them!

[@elle2368]

Would this routine work for Kiss Falscara kit? And you do this routine daily even if you change the Falscara lashes out every couple days (as opposed to the max 10 days)?

[@jennyjenga1929]

Ooh yes my lash artist told me i needed to start washing my lashes and i did tell her i did not like to wash them for fear of losing a lash 😂 but my eye lids would get itchy and i can see my make up clump and it is gross so i bought the this brush and she sold me the soap and then i wached you video and it really scared me 😂 im like wondering what if i have mites already and did not know 😮

[@ninimimi2906]

Thank you so much for this very informative and interesting video! Stay safe 😘

[@DrRupaWong]

Same to you and thank you!

[@latinkas1ify]

What do you use when baby shampoo is too harsh for your eyes?

[@DrRupaWong]

If baby shampoo is too harsh other products likely will be worse. Have you tried vaseline?

[@hibiscusrose6074]

Hi Dr. Wong new to yoyr channel and I have a question. Could you please talk about catarct operations the good the bad and ugly? Thank you

[@DrRupaWong]

Sure! I actually have a quick video coming out at the end of the week talking about when to resume/stop wearing makeup before/after eye surgeries. But I can do one on surgeries in general

[@leannele4968]

My eye size is half of yours. You have beautiful eyes !

[@DrRupaWong]

Thank you!

[@44Stephieb]

Unfortunately I did not keep my lashes clean and I have demodex. What do you recommend to get rid of them? My eye doctor recommended baby shampoo.

[@DrRupaWong]

Oh no!!! That's terrible. It's so easy to want to avoid cleaning extensions to prevent them from falling. The tea tree oil foaming cleanser is good (I linked to it above). It's actually been shown to be better than baby shampoo: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1772908/

[@Twin1294]

I've never gotten lash extensions (can't afford it yet.. 😏). But, when I do, I'll definitely use this as a reference. Question- if you don't wear eye makeup, do you still need to clean it this thoroughly?

[@DrRupaWong]

Yes, they are definitely pricey. And even if you don't wear eye makeup I would still clean them this thoroughly at least every other day. (but every day is best), because you can get a lot of accumulation of oil and skin debris on the extensions.

[@Twin1294]

@@DrRupaWong Got it! Thank you.

[@aidalopezvazquez5821]

some people reuse just regular strip lashes for one day because they are expensive, I am a makeup artist and when my clients ask, I just say no, because I have no idea how to clean them completely, or the treatment to clean them like new, would you do that?

[@kathleenhansen4344]

what is the likelihood of getting lash mites on your natural lashes if you don't wear makeup? During quarantine I haven't been wearing makeup; therefore, when washing my face I tend to neglect my eyes lol

[@DrRupaWong]

You can still get lash mites if you have a condition called blepharitis (oily glands which produce thick oil). It wouldn't be common, but possible.

[@malisac3869]

I had a Dr tell me to stay away from micellular ( spelling) water

[@paradiseentertainment166]

Can you do a video on how to use the slit lamp?

[@Ravenqueen2023]

Do you wash your face in the morning or just at night?

[@DrRupaWong]

Lenore, it is best to wash your face morning and night! :)

[@shauntaeggleston9451]

Very helpful video...loved it

[@Nikki-rq8mh]

So they have 2 one is “tea tree water” are BOTH ok for cleaning the extensions? Twice a day. The one has oils in it. I’m so confused and do it wanna mess my glue up. And I dislike the cleanser my studio sells .

[@jleight9544]

Weird. Just saw a video where you explained that you don’t do lash extensions because you’re allergic... are you not allergic anymore?

[@anahitatavakoli9150]

Look at the dates lol

[@amiyasenapati2184]

Mam doctor recommended me to use baby shampoo in eyelid. But I didn't use it Pls kindly tell me is it safe to use.

[@ritas6972]

In your 40's wow.. you are still gorgeous. You look like you are in your 20's. Great Job!

[@Rana..NL.]

Hello dear. Good morning. Can I ask you a question? My eyes are inflamed and red, and I have a pimple in my eye, inside my eye above my eyelash. I have had it for two years and I have been suffering. I clean my eyes and go back to see what foam you are using. Can you please reply? Thank you. It would help me😢😢

[@cgrass4035]

I can relate to not being able to wink 😊

[@alacrity2670]

My eye doctor also recommended a tea tree oil based eye cleanser, but I am allergic to eucalyptus. I dont have extensions but do false eyelashes at work on the weekend. Do you have a different recommendation for me?

[@LaPetite510]

What does your allergy to eucalyptus have to do w/tea tree oil? I'm genuinely confused b/c I don't get the correlation.

[@estefhanimartinez1947]

Hi Dr. Rupa! Thank you for all your suggestions. What is your opinion on lash extensions for someone who wears prescribed contacts?

[@char08fal]

I know she hasn't responded yet but I wear contacts and have lash extensions. I usually keep the extensions on for a while then a few months without them. I just take my contacts out to get the extensions and put my contacts back on afterwards.

[@estefhanimartinez1947]

@@char08fal thank you so much for responding! It helps alot!

[@bassetto1603]

Lash mites????? Yikessssss!!!

[@amaliasafaryan4256]

[@itsamaree9009]
