Introduction

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned enthusiast, understanding the aftercare process is crucial for achieving the best results. Semi-permanent tattoos offer a hassle-free solution for beautiful makeup, but like any cosmetic procedure, the right aftercare is key to longevity and beauty.

Eyebrow Aftercare

Immediate Care (First 2-4 Days)

Understanding the Healing Process:

Mild Swelling, Redness, and Tenderness: These are normal reactions of your skin post-treatment. They indicate that your body is healing. To alleviate discomfort, you can gently apply a disposable cold pack.

Itchiness and Dry, Flaking Skin: This is a sign that your skin is repairing itself. Resist the urge to scratch or peel.

Diligent Skin Jelly Application:

Apply a specially formulated Skin Jelly to your eyebrows at least three times a day for the first 10 days. This helps in soothing and healing. Remember to use a new cotton bud for each eyebrow to maintain hygiene.

Gentle Cleansing:

Clean the tattooed area twice daily using a gentle facial cleanser. Apply it with damp cotton pads, being careful not to drench the area. If the eyebrows get wet, pat them dry softly with a clean tissue.

Brow Protection During Hair Wash:

Use Vaseline to shield your brows while washing your hair. This prevents them from getting wet, which can affect the healing process. Remove the Vaseline gently with a damp cotton pad.

Avoid Physical Disturbance:

Do not pick, peel, or rub the treated area. Doing so can lead to uneven color, potential infection, or even scarring.

Steer Clear of Certain Products and Treatments:

For the first three days post-treatment, avoid applying makeup directly on the brows. Steer clear of skincare treatments for at least five days, and keep any hair away from the area to prevent infection.

Additional Precautions: The First 2 Weeks

During the first two weeks after your treatment, it’s important to avoid:

Direct Sunlight and Tanning: UV rays can adversely affect the healing process and pigment color.

Heat Treatments: This includes spas, saunas, and any extensive heat exposure.

Swimming and Water Activities: Stay away from salt water, chlorinated pools, jacuzzis, and direct shower spray.

Other Eyebrow Treatments: Avoid eyebrow tinting, waxing, electrolysis, or laser hair removal in the treated area.

Eyeliner Aftercare

Immediate Care (First 2-4 Days)

What to Expect After Your Treatment:

Swelling, Redness, and Tenderness: These common reactions are normal signs of healing. Slight pin-prick bruising on the eyelids may also occur.

Sticky Eyelashes: It's not uncommon for eyelashes to stick together, especially overnight.

Dry and Itchy Skin: The surrounding skin may feel dry and itchy as it heals.

Eyelash Loss: In rare cases, some eyelashes may fall out but they usually regrow within about 4 months.

Consistent Skin Jelly Application:

Apply a healing Skin Jelly to the treated area at least three times daily. Use a new cotton bud for each eye and ensure your hands are clean before and after each application.

Gentle Cleansing:

Carefully clean your new tattoo eyeliner twice a day using a soft facial cleanser and damp cotton pads. Avoid splashing water directly on your face, and pat the area dry gently if it gets wet.

Eye Protection and Care:

Use a recommended antibiotic eye cream to prevent infections. When using beauty eye creams, avoid applying over the enhanced area. Sunglasses can protect your eyes from dust and sunlight, reducing the risk of infection. Keep your hair away from your eyes as well.

Avoid Physical Interference:

Refrain from picking, peeling, or rubbing the treated area to prevent uneven color, potential infection, or scarring.

Product and Activity Restrictions:

Avoid wearing contact lenses for 24 hours post-treatment. Steer clear of makeup for three days (replace eye products afterwards) and skincare treatments for five days.

Additional Precautions: The First 2 Weeks

For at least two weeks after your treatment, avoid:

Direct Sunlight and Tanning: Protect your skin from UV rays and heat exposure.

Heat Treatments: This includes avoiding spas, saunas, and similar environments.

Water Exposure: Stay away from saltwater, chlorinated pools, jacuzzis, and direct shower spray.

Eye Enhancement Products: Avoid eyelash tinting, curling, false lashes, and lash growth products during this period.

Lip Aftercare

Immediate Care (First 2-4 Days)

Understanding the Healing Process:

Swelling, Redness, and Tenderness: These are common reactions and signs that your skin is healing properly.

Flaking and Itching: As your lips heal, you may experience some flaking and a sensation of itchiness.

Mild Dryness: It's normal for the skin to feel dry, which may last for several weeks.

Consistent Application of Skin Jelly:

Regularly apply a recommended Skin Jelly using a cotton bud. Ensure you wash your hands before and after each application, and use a new cotton bud each time.

Gentle Cleansing:

Clean your lip enhancement twice daily with a soft facial cleanser and damp cotton pads. Be careful not to splash water directly onto your face.

Protecting Your Lips During Daily Routines:

Apply Vaseline with a damp cotton pad when brushing your teeth to prevent your enhancement from getting wet. If they do get wet, gently pat dry with a clean tissue. Vaseline can be removed in the same manner.

Avoid Physical Disturbance:

Do not pick, peel, or rub the treated area to prevent uneven color, potential infection, or scarring.

Restrictions on Certain Foods and Activities:

For the first three days, avoid makeup and spicy or salty foods. Refrain from kissing for five days and skincare treatments for the same duration. Drinking with a straw can be helpful.

Additional Precautions: The First 2 Weeks

During the first two weeks post-treatment, be sure to avoid:

Direct Sunlight and Tanning: Protect your lips from UV rays and excessive heat.

Heat Treatments: This includes spas, saunas, and other similar environments.

Water Exposure: Stay clear of saltwater, chlorinated pools, jacuzzis, and direct shower spray.

Other Lip Treatments: Avoid treatments like bleaching, waxing, electrolysis, or laser hair removal near the lips. Also, steer clear of lip fillers and lip plumping products during this time.

By following these aftercare instructions, you can ensure your tattoo enhancement heals optimally and maintains its beauty. Patience and proper care during the healing process are key to lasting, stunning results.
