Permanent makeup aftercare is one of the most important steps to ensure your results last long and heal properly. Whether you’ve had your eyebrows, lips, or eyeliner done — how you care for your skin matters.
Here are the expert aftercare tips from Alina Koshelovska, founder of Prime Beauty:
- 1. Keep the Area Dry
- For the first 7–10 days, avoid any moisture on the treated area. That means no washing, steaming, or sweating. Use a damp cotton pad to cleanse around it, if needed.
- 2. No Makeup or Skincare Products
- Do not apply foundation, concealer, or regular skincare near the healing zone. These may cause irritation or slow the healing process.
- 3. Apply the Healing Ointment
- Use only the ointment recommended by your artist. Apply a thin layer once or twice a day with clean hands or a cotton swab. This keeps the skin hydrated and reduces itching.
- 4. Avoid Sun Exposure
- UV rays can fade pigment, especially during the healing phase. Avoid direct sun and don’t use tanning beds. After healing, always apply SPF.
- 5. Do Not Scratch or Peel
- As your skin heals, it may flake or form scabs. Let them fall off naturally. Picking can result in patchy pigment or even scarring.
- 6. Maintain Long-Term Care
- Even after healing, protect your permanent makeup with gentle skincare and sun protection. Avoid chemical peels or aggressive exfoliants over the area.
- These permanent makeup aftercare tips will help you preserve your results and ensure safe, smooth healing. If you ever have questions, don’t hesitate to contact Prime Beauty.
