Brow aftercare
Shaping leaves the skin around the brow a little pink and open for an hour or two, and a fresh tint keeps developing its final depth for a day or so. Both settle quickly if you leave them alone.
For the first 24 hours
- No make-up on or around the brow, including brow pencil and gel.
- Keep the area dry where you can — no swimming, sauna or steam.
- Do not rub, scratch or pick at the brow line.
- Skip fake tan and self-tanning drops on the face.
Looking after the colour
- A tint lasts around two to four weeks and fades gradually rather than all at once.
- Oil-based cleansers and heavy creams on the brow will fade it faster.
- Brush brows through with a clean spoolie each morning to keep the shape sitting right.
- Sunscreen protects a tint as well as your skin.
Between appointments
- Four to six weeks for a reshape; a tint on its own can be sooner.
- Resist tweezing in between if you are growing a shape out — it undoes the mapping.
- A new patch test is needed if it has been more than six months, or if you have been unwell, pregnant or started a new medication.
Message me if…
- Any itching, swelling or redness that starts after you get home.
- Colour that has gone darker or patchier than you wanted.
- A reaction at the patch test stage — stop and tell me straight away.
