Whether you’ve just had your eyebrows microbladed or treated yourself to lash extensions, following the right aftercare routine is key to maintaining long-lasting, gorgeous results. In this blog, we’ll share expert recommendations and essential aftercare tips to ensure your brows and lashes stay flawless.
Microblading Aftercare
Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo technique that creates the look of fuller, natural eyebrows. Proper aftercare is crucial to ensure optimal healing and longevity of your microbladed brows.
Immediate Aftercare: The First 24-48 Hours
Avoid water: Keep your brows dry and avoid activities that cause sweating. Water can interfere with pigment retention during the healing process.
Use a healing ointment: Your technician will likely provide or recommend a healing balm. Apply as instructed to keep the area moisturized and promote proper healing.
No touching: Resist the urge to touch or scratch your eyebrows. Touching can introduce bacteria and cause infections or disrupt the healing process.
Long-term Care for Your Microbladed Brows
Avoid direct sunlight: UV rays can cause fading. Always apply a high SPF sunscreen over your eyebrows when exposed to sunlight.
Avoid exfoliating products: Steer clear of products containing acids or retinoids near your brows. These can prematurely fade the pigment.
Schedule touch-ups: Depending on your skin type and lifestyle, you may need touch-ups every 12 to 18 months to maintain the fresh, full look of your microbladed eyebrows.
Lash Extension Aftercare
Lash extensions provide a dramatic and glamorous enhancement to your natural lashes, but without proper care, they can fall out prematurely. Follow these aftercare tips to keep your lashes looking luscious for as long as possible.
Essential Aftercare for Lash Extensions
Avoid getting your lashes wet for 24 hours: This gives the adhesive time to fully bond.
Don’t rub your eyes: Rubbing can damage the extensions and natural lashes.
Use oil-free makeup removers: Oils can break down the adhesive, causing your lashes to fall out sooner. Stick to water-based cleansers to clean your eyes.
Brush your lashes daily: Using a spoolie brush, gently comb your lashes to keep them separated and neat.
Be gentle when sleeping: Try to sleep on your back to avoid crushing your lashes, which can cause them to fall out or lose their shape.
Additional Recommendations
Whether you’ve had microblading or lash extensions done, your aftercare routine should focus on cleanliness, hydration, and gentle handling of the treated areas. Always follow the advice provided by your technician, as they can give personalized guidance based on your skin type and specific treatment.
Key Do’s and Don’ts
Do: Keep the treated area clean and follow your technician’s instructions.
Don’t: Expose the area to excess moisture, harsh chemicals, or direct sunlight.
Do: Attend your scheduled touch-ups to maintain your brows and lashes.
Don’t: Use mascara on your lash extensions—this can weigh them down and cause them to fall out more quickly.
