Steps to Properly Take Care of your Brows:
Initial Care after the Procedure:
Avoid Wetting: For the first 7-10 days after getting ombre brows, it's crucial to keep them as dry as possible. Avoid getting them wet during this period to allow the pigment to settle and avoid any complications.
No Touching: Refrain from touching or picking at the ombre brows to prevent any disruption to the healing process. Touching them with dirty hands can also introduce bacteria, leading to infections.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Direct sunlight can fade the pigments prematurely. Use a wide-brimmed hat or sunglasses to protect your ombre brows when going outside during the initial healing phase.
Daily Care Routine:
Gentle Cleansing: Once the initial healing phase is over, incorporate gentle cleansing into your daily routine. Use a mild cleanser provided to clean the brow area without rubbing or scrubbing.
Moisturize Regularly: Keeping the brow area moisturized helps maintain the pigment and promotes healing. Use A&D ointment provided 2 times a day morning and night.
Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using products containing acids, retinol, or exfoliants directly on the ombre brows as they can cause the pigments to fade faster.
Long-Term Care:
Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on your ombre brows when exposed to the sun to prevent fading. Reapply sunscreen every two hours for maximum protection.
Avoid Excessive Sweating: High sweat production can cause the pigments to fade more quickly. If you engage in activities that cause heavy sweating, like intense workouts or saunas, try to keep your ombre brows dry and clean.
Regular Touch-Ups: Ombre brows typically last 1-3 years, depending on various factors. Schedule regular touch-up appointments with your brow artist to maintain the vibrancy and shape of your ombre brows.
