How Do You Care For Your Skin Before And After Getting A Powder Eyebrow Tattoo?

Additional Steps To Take For Your Powder Brows Tattoo

You should avoid getting any moisture into your powder brows for at least the following two weeks.

as we covered the pros and cons of using a wet or dry approach to brow care, it's important to remember to keep your brows dry as you cleanse and apply ointment (if using a wet method). Stay away from your brows if you can help it.

As a result, you should be very mindful of what you do on a daily basis. You should avoid too hot water and take brief showers when you need to wash. If at all possible, limit your body washing to the sink or wait until you're out of the shower before washing your hair. Before washing your hair, be careful not to get your eyebrows wet.

Hard exercise routines are also something you should try to avoid. Infection can set in if you let sweat drip onto your eyebrows and don't wipe them afterwards. In addition, the salt in your perspiration might sting an open wound, so it's best to avoid getting salt water on it. For at least a week, you should stay out of anything that causes you to perspire heavily. You might even hear your PMU artist recommend waiting a full week.

Exercising causes perspiration, so it's best to stay indoors in hot weather if you can help it. For those who reside in particularly warm climates, this also applies when bathing in hot tubs or saunas.

Avoid going outside in the sun in any case; not only is it impossible to apply sunscreen to the area immediately surrounding your eyebrows, but your skin's damaged state makes you more susceptible to sunburns in the first place.

Scratching of the brows is a typical part of the healing process and will be seen after one week. You should give them space and refrain from furrowing your brows.

Delaying healing and possibly lifting the pigment underneath are two risks associated with picking at brow scabs. Furthermore, picking at the scabs could lead to infection, which would prolong the healing process even further.

Aside from washing and ointment, you'd like not touch your brows. The best thing to do is to sit back and allow the healing process unfold naturally. Within a week, the scabs will have fallen off most people.  

Conclusion

Skin care is essential before and after a powder eyebrow tattoo. Before the procedure, cleanse and moisturise your skin, avoid harsh products, and follow the technician's aftercare instructions. Keep the treated area dry and out of the sun. Avoid picking or scratching the tattoo for optimal results. After the tattoo, wash the area with water and a soft cleaner, avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, and use eyebrow moisturiser or ointment. Protect yourself from the sun to fade pigment faster.

Semi-permanent powder eyebrows define and fill in brows with a delicate, powdered look. They are good for thickening and shaping sparse or thin eyebrows. Your technician will provide aftercare instructions following the tattoo. Blot your brows every five minutes for the first hour, then clean them every 20 minutes for 6-8 hours. Take care of yourself immediately after the procedure and ask your PMU artist for guidance.

Intoxicants, coffee, sun exposure, and other activities that produce excessive perspiration should be avoided before pigment implantation. Avoid non-prescription pharmaceuticals including Tylenol, fish oil, prenatal vitamins, nutritional drinks, and "Hair, Skin, Nail" supplements to prevent haemorrhage and colour deposit. Before the procedure, avoid Retin-A, dehydroacetic acid, fillers, botox, and laser chemical peels for at least four weeks.

Schedule appointment 30 days before final antibiotic use. Keep your brows dry for two weeks and avoid hot water and quick showers to keep them healthy. Stay indoors in hot weather, avoid vigourous exercise, and avoid the sun.

Scratching your brows is normal during healing, so avoid furrowing them. Picking at brow scabs can impede healing and lift pigment. Most scabs go off within a week, so let healing happen.
