Sweat. For the same reason that water should be avoided during the healing/scabbing process after microblading, sweat should also be avoided. Sweat comes from the inside of the skin and can push the pigment out and cause the microblading strokes not to retain.
Who Shouldn't Get Microblading. Individuals prone to keloids, super thin skin, Rosacea or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Unfortunately, since Microblading punctures the skin with tiny needles, we cannot work with clients with these conditions. Individuals with visible redness on the face.

Microblading scabbing is a common side effect of microblading. Scabs are typically crusty or flaky areas that develop on the skin's surface, indicating too much moisture trapped underneath them.
