hOW TO CARE FOR YOUR BROWS

BROW PRECARE
Maintaining skin integrity before your appointment. Following the precare is a very important part of getting your brows done. Clients who do not follow precare when arriving to their appointment risk losing their deposit and forfeiting their appointment time. We cannot work on skin that is actively sunburned.

BROW AFTERCARE
Immediately after:
Your brows may appear a little bit warmer and bolder than what your healed results will look like- this is totally normal! Take a clean paper towel and gently dab your brows. Do this periodically over the next 1-2 hours. Try your best not to sleep with your brows on the pillow. A clean pillowcase is always recommended. The next morning you will start the next step- don't worry I've got you covered on the supplies you'll need.
​
For the first 7-10 days:
Gently wash your brows morning and night with the aftercare soap given at your appointment (or plain dial antibacterial). Be sure to make contact with your skin to remove buildup without scrubbing too hard. Rinse them thoroughly and pat completely dry with a clean paper towel. This should be the only time your brows are getting wet during this portion of the healing process. Once dry, use a Q-Tip or *clean* fingertip to apply a thin layer of aftercare balm. Be sure to avoid saunas, sun exposure, heavy sweating, swimming, and long steamy showers. Keep makeup away from brows. They may start to flake after a few days- make sure you do not pick them! If you’re following the aftercare you should not have heavy scabs but light flaking.
​
After 10 days:
After brows are done flaking you may resume your normal routines. They may appear light after the flaking stage. Once the skin is done fully healing after the first few weeks you’ll notice a “color bloom”. Final results can’t be seen until 6 weeks- at which point you’ll be ready for your touchup. At the touchup we can address any concerns and add the second layer needed for the ideal volume/saturation. Keep in mind that the following will fade your brows over time; sun exposure without SPF, retinols/acids or any skincare meant to “brighten” or “resurface” skin within 1” of the brow area.
​
For your safety, DO NOT attempt to alter your own brows or follow a different aftercare routine.
