eyebrows aftercare

Please follow below daily care to properly taking care of your brows:

1. Avoid getting your eyebrows wet for 24hrs (48hrs for oily skin).

2. Make sure your hands have been washed thoroughly before you touch your brows.

3. After 24hrs, gently clean the area with a mild cleanser (Cetaphil/ CeraVe/ Baby Soap). Do not scrub the brows with a brush or towel (this should not be done until the brows have healed). The idea behind the washing is to eliminate any dead cells have been allowed to accumulate on the surface; and to keep your brows clean.

4. Apply a small amount of Aquaphor healing ointment to your brows. Use just a small amount, about the size of a grain of rice, for both brows. The purpose is to moisturize the area. Too much should not be applied so that your brows appear to be greasy, glossy or shiny.

5. Repeat steps above for 10 days, approximately 2-3 times a day. The idea behind this part of the process is to not let the brows dry out.

After a few days you might notice some tiny scabbing possibly, or might not. Excessive scabbing can indicate a dry brows, but some little scabbing may be normal. It is at this point in the healing process that our brows will begin to itch. RESIST THE URGE TO SCRATCH, RUB, OR PICK at the brows.

tattoo aftercare

The first few days and weeks (for a new tattoo) are probably the most important for your new tattoo. Make sure you care for it properly.

Below is the healing procedure and do’s and don’ts we recommend. Because everyone is different, this may not always be the best recommendation for everyone.

We recommend you follow our advice or seek the advice of a doctor first.

1. Leave the bandage/ second skin that you received after the tattoo on for at least 3 days. (You could leave it up to 5 days). Tattoos will ooze, this is a normal part of the healing process. The bandage is there to keep airborne bacteria and any other contaminants in the environment from invading your wound.

2. Make sure your hands have been washed thoroughly before you remove the bandage.

3. After removing the bandage, cleanse the tattooed area with mild gentle soap (Cetaphil/ CeraVe/ Baby soap) and water. Do not scrub the tattoo with a brush or towel (this should not be done until the tattoo has healed). The idea behind the washing is to eliminate any dead cells have been allowed to accumulate on the surface.

4. Dry the tattooed area by gently patting the area with a clean, sterile towel.

5. Let the tattoo dry completely (approximately 10 minutes)

6. Lightly rub on hand ointment such as Aquaphor.

7. You do not need to re-bandage.

8. Repeat steps above for 10 days, approximately 3-6 times a day. The idea behind this part of the process is to not let the tattoo dry out.

After a few days you may notice some peeling and possibly a little scabbing. Excessive scabbing can indicate a poorly done tattoo, but some scabbing may be normal. It is at this point in the healing process that our tattoo will begin to itch. RESIST THE URGE TO SCRATCH, RUB, OR PICK at the tattoo.
