Online After Care
✔ Do
• Keep your brows as clean and dry as you can for the first 7-10 days, to prevent a thick scab forming.
• Avoid shower water running directly over your face for the first 7-10 days.
• Avoid steamy baths & showers, saunas, steam rooms & swimming pools for the first 7-10 days.
• Avoid intense sweaty exercise for 7-10 days. Light, gentle exercising is okay after 3-4 days.
• Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks.
✘ Don’t
• Sleep on your front for the first few days – this will stop your fresh brows sticking to your pillow case.
• Touch or scratch your eyebrows – touching & picking will cause irritation, loss of pigment and possible infection.
• Put make up, cleansers, lotions (other than provided) on or close to your brows for 1-2 weeks to avoid irritation & cross contamination.
• Have facials, lash extensions, brow tinting or other face beauty treatments done for 2 weeks to avoid irritation & cross contamination.
• Use sunbeds, chemical peels or any strong face treatment (unless it's from your eyes down) for 4 weeks as your skin will not be healed enough.
Long term
• Make sure you wear a daily SPF to protect your brows, and a higher one when on holiday.
• If sunbathing or using tanning beds, please keep your eyebrows covered - UV exposure leads to faded, grey eyebrows.
• Do not use anti-aging creams, chemical peels, acids or retinols on or close to your eyebrows ever! Eyes downward is totally fine.
EYEBROW TATTOO CLEANING ROUTINE
After your Appointment / First day of healing:
-
Wash your hands before touching your Brows/ Tattoo!
-
Wipe your brows every hour to absorb any excreting lymph fluid with wet aftercare pads provided.
*This is to prevent it drying on your brows, creating a thick scab. Clients with oilier skin will find they produce more lymph fluid.
Later when you get home/ before bed:
-
Wash your brows with unscented soap.
-
If you're using your fingers, make gentle circular motions through your brows. If using a cotton pad, wipe from your nose to temple in 1 direction, 2-3 times.
-
Remove any soapy residue with a damp cotton pad, and thoroughly blot dry with paper towel or clean towel.
-
After washing, Apply a grain of rice amount of lotion to your brows so they are slightly moisturized. They should not look shiny or greasy.
-
Sleep with clean sheets and pillow cases/ avoid pets touching your face to prevent infection!
2 - 14 Days After : Continue with the cleansing routine twice a day. This will help to keep the area clean and naturally lift any loose film away.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
After 14 days the film has fully lifted, your brows will look lighter & possibly patchy compared to when freshly done. This is because you’re seeing your brows through healing skin which is thicker than normal skin. You can return to your usual face washing & make up routine after this point, but you still need to be careful with your brows for the full 6 weeks. Although your skin will look healed, it is still recovering under the surface so may feel tender. Don’t rub too hard, exfoliate or apply any strong products that may damage your regenerating skin.
Top tips:
• Make sure you cleaning firmly enough so that you are actually cleansing your skin, but not too rough that you’re irritating the tattoo, pulling the peel off or hurting yourself.
• If your brows feel extra flakey or scabby, do not overcompensate by using more cream. You’re just trapping moisture behind the flakes / scabs which will delay healing.
