Aftercare
You will receive an Aftercare goodie bag at your first appointment! This contains a tube of cleanser, aftercare cream, fresh brow spoolie brush and aftercare card. These products should last for your Initial Session and Perfecting Session!
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Wash your hands before handling tattooed area (remember, it’s open skin!)
Wash the tattooed area 3-5 times a day for 3-4 days (or until the brows begin flaking). Usually around day 4, you can switch to washing only 2 times a day; morning and night. Using lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser, lightly massage the brows in small circles, pat dry with a soft tissue or cotton round, and apply a rice grain amount of provided aftercare cream to each brow every time they are washed. Begin washing your brows about 1-2 hours after your appointment.
RECOMMENDED CLEANSERS
You will receive a small tube of cleanser in your Aftercare goodie bag. Other recommend cleansers like Cetaphil and Cerave can also be used. Avoid using cleansers that contain oils, acids, scrubs/exfoliants or charcoal. Avoid using bar soap and micellar cleansers as well.
WHAT TO AVOID FOR 10-14 DAYS
Increased sweating, exercise, strenuous activity
Getting your brows/forehead wet outside of instructed washing in pools, sauna, jacuzzi, oceans/lakes, baths, etc.
Tanning bed use at any time after having brows tattooed can cause discoloration and premature fading.
Natural tanning. Once healed, use an SPF to avoid premature fading and/or discoloration due to UVA/UVB rays.
DO NOT PICK at flaking or possible scabbing, this will cause pigment loss. Let all skin naturally exfoliate off.
Avoid Retin-A, retinol, Vitamin A and oils on the forehead
No makeup products or other skincare products should be applied to the brows until they are completely done flaking
*If having your brows down in the summer months, please be mindful of any vacations or travel plans involving warm climates. It is best to avoid direct sun exposure, sweating, and the brows being wet outside of the instructed washing times. The beach, pools, lakes, hiking, boating, and other outdoor activities are best to be avoided for 10-14 days after your appointment. This applies to the Initial Appointment, the Perfecting Session and any Touch Ups in the future for Aftercare.
