If you’ve recently gotten your eyebrows microbladed, congratulations! Now that you’ve achieved those perfect brows, it’s important to make sure they stay looking their best. Proper microblading aftercare is essential for ensuring your brows will heal correctly and last a long time. Here’s what you need to know about taking care of your microblading aftercare.
The First Day After Microblading
On the day of your microblading procedure, make sure to avoid getting your brows wet or sweating too much. It’s also important to avoid touching or rubbing them, as this can cause the pigment to come off prematurely. You should also be careful not to pick or itch any scabs that might form in the area. Instead, apply a thin layer of ointment over the treated area for the first few days post-procedure. This will help keep the area moisturized and aid in healing.
Days 2-7 Post-Microblading
During this period, continue applying ointment over the treated area as needed; however, don’t apply so much that it causes an oily film on top of the skin. Also avoid using any products with fragrances or dyes during this time as these can irritate the skin and delay healing. Additionally, try not to spend too much time in direct sunlight during this period as this can cause discoloration in the area and possibly fade your results prematurely. Finally, refrain from using any makeup near the eyebrows until at least 7 days post-procedure when all healing is complete and no more scabbing occurs.
Ongoing Care After Microblading
To keep those perfect eyebrows looking their best for years to come, it’s important to maintain a regular skincare routine that includes exfoliating twice per week and moisturizing daily with a good quality SPF moisturizer like EltaMD Moisturizer SPF 46+. For extra protection against free radicals, consider applying an antioxidant serum like SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic each morning before applying sunscreen. Additionally, don’t forget to use mineral based makeup on your brows—this will help them look natural while still providing enough coverage for everyday wear. Finally, make sure you are getting regular touch ups every 6-12 months depending on how quickly your skin regenerates new cells!
With proper microblading aftercare, you can ensure that those beautiful brows last as long as possible! By taking a few simple steps such as avoiding direct sunlight exposure and regularly exfoliating and moisturizing with mineral based makeup, you’ll have great looking eyebrows for years to come! So don’t neglect proper aftercare—it pays off in spades!
