Tips for Maintaining Pristine Brows & Lashes After Treatment

These essential tips for maintaining your brows and lashes after professional services will help ensure long-lasting results.

Just a heads up, we wrote this post in July 2023 so it might be outdated!

Taking care of your brows and lashes after a professional service is important for maintaining those beautiful results.

By following these straightforward tips, you can enjoy your new look for as long as possible.

Avoid Touching

First things first, try not to touch the treated areas.

Your hands carry a lot of bacteria, and touching can lead to irritation – or even worse – infection. Plus, the less you fiddle with those areas, the longer your results will last.

Keep It Dry

For the first day or two, keep your brows and lashes dry.

This means avoiding swimming, staying away from steamy environments like saunas, and taking care when showering. It helps the products used during your service to set properly.

Use Recommended Products

After your treatment, your aesthetician will offer some product recommendations. These products are designed to help maintain your results and can make a big difference in how long those results last.

Whatever you use, steer clear of oil-based makeup removers and facial cleansers around your brows and lashes. Oils can dissolve the adhesives used in lash extensions or fade tints faster.

Gentle Cleansing

When it's time to clean your face, be gentle around your brows and lashes. Use a soft, hypoallergenic cleanser and avoid rubbing too hard. A soft touch is key to keeping everything looking great.

Skip Makeup

Give the treated areas a break from makeup for at least 24 hours. This gives your skin and hair follicles time to recover without being clogged by cosmetics.

Protect from Sunlight

Too much direct sunlight can fade the brow and lash work you've just had done. If you're going out, consider wearing a hat or sunglasses to protect your brows and lashes from UV rays.

Regular Maintenance

Remember that brow and lash work won't last forever. To keep things looking sharp, plan for regular touch-ups.

How often you'll need them depends on the specific treatment and how quickly your hair grows, so talk to your aesthetician to determine a game plan.

Watch for Reactions

Keep an eye out for any signs of an allergic reaction, like itching, redness, or swelling. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to contact your aesthetician or a healthcare professional for advice.

Communication is Key

If you have any questions or concerns about your treatment or aftercare, don't hesitate to reach out and we will put you in touch with your aesthetician. They're there to help and ensure you're happy with your results.

Wrapping Up

Remember, it's not just about the immediate aftercare. Integrating these practices into your regular beauty routine will go a long way to ensuring your brows and lashes always look fantastic.

If in doubt, always ask your aesthetician for advice – they're your go-to resource for keeping those brows and lashes looking their best.
