Aquaphor is the one I recommend the most since it help with the healing process but you can use any gentle face moisturizer.
Do not let any water, lotion, soap, or makeup touch your eyebrow area during the first 7 days after your procedure. Please wash your face carefully around the eyebrow without getting water on the treated area. During the shower, keep your face away from the shower head or take a bath.
These oils can heal the brow as well as getting the best results in retaining pigment color in the skin. Important note: Avoid Petroleum Jelly or Vaseline during your healing period.
Certain skincare products can interact with microbladed brows. Avoid using strong acids, such as glycolic or salicylic acid, retinoids, or exfoliating scrubs in the eyebrow region. Instead, use gentle cleansers and moisturizers to keep the skin healthy without compromising your microblading.
The absolute best results come from keeping your microbladed brows constantly moist with the cream that you have been given for the next 7 days. Best results will result from making sure to stay on your back when sleeping for the whole healing period of a week.
BROW REWIND is an easy-to-use, at-home solution designed to gently reduce the appearance of unwanted pigment from microblading and cosmetic eyebrow tattoos. Formulated with skin-friendly ingredients, it also helps soften the look of scar tissue, promote skin health, and support natural eyebrow hair growth.
It's important not to overdo it, as an excessive amount of ointment can hinder the skin's ability to breathe and delay the healing process. Avoid the temptation to pick, peel, or scratch the treated area. Interfering with the healing skin could result in pigment loss or even scarring.
We recommend applying unrefined, cold-pressed, organic castor oil from a glass jar or BPA-free plastic container directly to the brows before sleeping. It is highly recommended that clients test castor oil on an area of skin away from their eyes and face before using it on their eyelashes.
Skin Candy is one of the most popular and purchased microblading aftercare products in The Beauty Ink Store. It has both synthetic and natural components that are perfect for regulating oily skin and fast skin recovery. The good thing about Skin Candy is it does not have an expiration date like the others.
You want to make sure to keep the area moist with Aquaphor, all day long 24/7 for at least 10 days.
In the morning, remove saran wrap, wash eyebrows, apply ointment again for the remainder of the 24 hours. Doing this will prevent scabbing. Step 3: After the first 24 hours you can wash the treated area only twice a day and apply a very thin layer of ointment after each wash.
Things to Avoid:
Applying any makeup, moisturizer, lotion, or sunscreen to your eyebrows. Laser or chemical peels, and any other form of exfoliation. Applying any creams to your face or neck containing retinol or glycolic acid. Engaging in tasks like heavy household cleaning where airborne debris can become prevalent.
Around days eight or nine of the healing process, your brows may take on a spooky appearance, appearing faded, gray, or even patchy. This is known as the microblading ghosting phase. The fading is a regular and temporary part of the healing process. Your bold, beautiful brows will make their triumphant return.
Skin Candy Monodose Balm
This water-free formula will provide a protective film to prevent your eyebrows from drying out. As this balm has a lot of great healing ingredients and is suitable for all skin types, it is also used for many treatments, such as permanent makeup and microblading.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment
Alternatively, you can use a different healing ointment like Aquaphor. It's important to make sure there are no added antibiotics or harsh ingredients that can break down pigment in your brows.
Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay the healing process. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put the ointment on while your eyebrows are wet or damp.
Botched eyebrow microblading can result in uneven shapes, unnatural colors, or overly thick brows. A professional consultation is the first step to assessing and fixing bad eyebrow microblading. Corrections can include reshaping, color adjustment, or a touch-up to improve brow appearance.
The absolute best results come from keeping your brows extremely DRY for the next 10 days! Keeping them dry makes them retain more detail, better color, and more crisp strokes, so it's worth it.
