There is so much to that goes into great permanent cosmetics and it starts and ends with you. Taking care of your skin can make all the difference.
Only touch your fresh work with clean, freshly washed hands. You should only be touching when cleaning them until any scabbing is completely gone.
At least when you wake and before bed you should wash your brows with a gentle antibacterial soap. Dr. Bronners Baby Unscented is great and is my preference but dial soap will do. The liquid is more sanitary than the bar. Pat dry with clean paper towel or air dry.
We recommend Aftermath (we have onsite for you to buy for $10). After cleaning and drying the area. Apply a very small amount with a clean cottons wab or freshly washed fingers. Just enough to moisturize the area. You can use this until healed or until you run out. It is good for all tattooing.
When taking a shower, do not let the water hit the fresh procedure area directly. Instead us clean run off water. You will need to clean the area separately after a shower to make sure no residue from your shampoo, conditioner, or soap is left.
No submerging in unclean water such as pools, lakes, ocean, hot tub, bathtubs, etc. for 30 days.
No direct sun or tanning bed light either!
You do NOT want an infection on your face/eyes. Keep the makeup away.
Do not pick or pull at scabs. You may, with scissors cleaned with alcohol, cut any hanging scabs.
Picking and pulling them will result is patchy work and can also cause scarring.
Right after the procedure, the procedure area will start to oxidize and darken. They will continue to be dark until the scabbing has worked its way off. This is totally normal.
Once the scabbing has worked its way off you have fresh new skin over the color that lies underneath. This new skin will be lighter at first as it gets saturated with the pigment underneath. Again, this is totally normal.
It is normal to have a little uneveness in color as far as being darker or lighter is concerned. This is why the first touchup is so important. It corrects any light areas your body may have healed out.
It can burn! Ouch.
It is recommended to throw out your old tube and use a new one. Mascara harbors bacteria.
Once you resume your regular routine, try to keep retinol A and other retinoids about an inch from your permanent cosmetics. It is great for your skin but causes pigment to fade out prematurely.
Brows: Include your brows in your daily SPF moisturizer.
Lips: Use a chapstick daily with SPF in it.
Eyes: Sunglasses are your friend.
Scalp: Hats in the sun are needed!
Don't allow any chemical peel products to touch your tattooed area.
Anything that targets anti-aging, pigmentation, acne, or contains glycolic or fruity acids will play havoc with permanent cosmetics longevity. Avoid applying at-home skin care products to your tattooed area.
