Keep Them Clean For the first few days after your appointment, you need to ensure that your eyebrows are clean to avoid getting an infection. Gently wash your eyebrows daily to remove bacteria and product build-up. Do not overapply aftercare ointment because this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. Take a shower carefully, so your new brows don’t stick under a stream of water. To be safe, carry a paper towel with you whenever you go. This way, you can pat them dry if they get moist.
Make Blotting Paper Your Friend Buy new blotting papers that are free of chemicals. Use them throughout the day to blot away any excess oil. Normal skin will need blotting three times a day, while oily skin can need blotting up to six times a day.
Don’t Use Makeup Keep makeup away during your brow healing process. You will have to wait at least ten days before wearing makeup in the area of your brows. Remember, microblading causes tiny cuts in the skin. You will need to give your skin time to heal, so the pigment gets set in it. Makeup can contaminate the cuts causing an infection. The makeup can cause the pigment to get removed when you wash your face to remove the makeup. You also want to avoid skin care products with retinol, acids, fragrance, mechanical exfoliation, chemical peels or microdermabrasion.
Moisturize Since you are avoiding any typical skincare routine in your brow area, you may find that your skin starts drying. If you notice this during the healing process, a small amount of organic aloe vera and rose water on the brow area will eliminate dryness. If you are itchy and it feels intolerable, you can pick up a gentle moisturizing cream at your local drugstore.
Avoid Sweating This is obvious since we are trying to keep the skin dry. However, sweating is even more harmful to your new brows than getting them wet. The moisture is now coming within the skin. It will push the pigment out as you sweat. You want to avoid excessive exercise, sauna, and seam rooms that will cause you to sweat in the next few days after the procedure.
