Lash Artists Discover Secret to Extending Adhesive Life Sydney, Australia – A recent viral video from beauty brand Lash Jungle PRO has unveiled a simple yet crucial tip for professional lash artists: never discard the silica gel packets that accompany lash adhesives. The company, which boasts a following of over 60,000 lash artists worldwide, demonstrated how these small packets can significantly extend the shelf life of their "Extreme Adhesive" by combating premature curing caused by excess moisture. In the video, a representative from Lash Jungle PRO explained, "Silica gel is used to absorb excess moisture and humidity (too much humidity can cause the glue to cure prematurely, which is something we want to avoid!)." The demonstration showed a silica gel packet being placed into a specialized airtight storage container alongside bottles of lash adhesive. The brand advises, "Storing your lash adhesive with a silica pack in an airtight container helps keep it fresh for a longer period. Replace it every time you buy a new adhesive to keep it fresh." The revelation has sparked discussion among the beauty community, with one commenter exclaiming, "Who would have thought? 😅" Another user, @Livvy may, tagged a friend, suggesting, "u need this." The tip addresses a common challenge faced by lash technicians, offering a practical solution to maintain product efficacy and reduce waste.
