Wash the microbladed area twice per day followed by applying the microblading aftercare ointment. At the start and end of each day, use your clean fingertips and a mild antibacterial soap, like Cetaphil, to gently cleanse your eyebrows for 10-15 seconds.
Hi there! Treat microblading like any other wound :) you have to wash them gently with cetaphil or baby shampoo twice a day to prevent scabbing. Scabbing will pull the pigment from the cuts and not give you the results you want. So when you wash your brows, just cup some water in your hands and gently get them wet.
Comments Section Cetaphil, CeraVe or Vanicream are all good gentle cleanser that you can use. I personally avoid niacinamide simply because I'm allergic to it. I recommend washing your face with vanicream facial cleanser during the healing stage. It's really gentle.
Use shower eyeshield:
Different shower visors are available in the market that are specifically used to protect areas around the brows after microblading. Furthermore, there is also the option of sun visor hats. Before trying any of these tools, make sure they are tight-fitted and can protect your eyebrows from water.
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.
Proper aftercare is essential for successful microblading results. Most professionals advise avoiding washing your face for 2-10 days post-treatment, with care needed when cleaning around the brows. On Day 1, blot lymph fluid gently to prevent crusting, and use mild antibacterial soap from Day 2-10 for cleaning.
The worst days after microblading are typically the first two, when you'll likely experience puffiness, redness, and tenderness.
Keep the area MOISTURIZED. Use Aftercare as an after care anti-oxidant (or Vaseline). Gently apply every 1-2 hours or when you feel tender, itchy or dry for 10–14 days. This provides pain relief, moisturizes and promotes healing to help retain color.
At the start and end of each day, use your clean fingertips and a mild antibacterial soap, like Cetaphil, to gently cleanse your eyebrows for 10-15 seconds. Avoid using any cleansing products that contain exfoliants or acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA).
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.
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser
Nika recommends washing brows with a gentle soap like Cetaphil twice a day.
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.
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.
The absolute best results come from keeping your brows extremely DRY for the next 10 days!
Aquaphor Is Your Best Friend
-We suggest Aquaphor because it tends to not cause inflammation, but if you are allergic, Vaseline will do just fine. -Always use a “total sun block” sunscreen until the area has fully healed to prevent future fading of pigment color.
Protective Barrier: Before swimming, consider applying a protective, water-resistant ointment or barrier cream to your eyebrows. This can serve as an additional layer of protection against water and its constituents. However, always seek guidance from your microblading professional before using any product.
The hair strokes will fade. And once that happens, it's difficult to put them back in the same place. In the case of having oily skin, this effect will be faster and the pigment in the lines will start to blur. The results are blurry hair strokes- nothing like they looked like when you got them done for the first time.
When your freshly microbladed eyebrows get wet, the pigment can loosen. Unlike traditional tattoos, microblading does not penetrate deep into the skin. The pigment remains close to the skin's surface, which makes it vulnerable to external factors like water.
Also, some people will experience only minor peeling. They may be worried that something is odd, but that is completely normal, even if there's no peeling at all. It's rare, but those of you who got lucky to experience barely any peeling, can expect great pigment retention.
Do NOT allow your brows to get wet outside of gently washing them twice a day. Moisturize Microbladed Area. 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.
To achieve a wax-like texture, you need to wet the brow soap before use. You can either moisten the brow soap with 2-3 pumps of Face Spritz or the brow brush with 3-5 pumps. The brow soap should be only slightly damp and not wet.
