Brow Microshading Aftercare: Your Guide to Long-Lasting Results

So you just got your brows done—yay! Whether you’re new to brow microshading or you’ve been down this road before, proper permanent makeup aftercare is the key to healing beautifully and getting those long-lasting results you came in for.

Here’s exactly what you should do (and avoid) after your appointment at AllFace & Co. to make sure your microshaded brows heal evenly, retain pigment, and look flawless.

What You Should Do After Brow Microshading

1. Blot, blot, blot!

Right after your PMU brow appointment, you’ll want to blot your brows every couple of hours with antiseptic wipes. This helps remove lymph and reduces the chance of scabbing.

2. Start gentle cleansing on Day 2

On the second day, begin washing your brows twice a day—morning and night—with the tattoo soap provided. Always use clean hands and pat gently—no scrubbing!

3. Keep those brows lightly moisturized

After you wash and blot dry, apply a tiny bit of ointment. A thin coat is all you need—just enough to hydrate the brows without over-saturating them.

What You Should NOT Do After Your Appointment

1. Skip the saunas and sunshine

Avoid pools, saunas, long hot showers, direct sunlight, and any heavy sweating (sorry, gym lovers) during the healing process. Moisture and heat can disrupt pigment retention.

2. No makeup on the brow area

We know it’s tempting, but keep your regular brow products far away until your skin is fully healed. Applying makeup too soon can cause infections and fading.

3. Don’t pick, scratch, or touch

Even if it’s flaking or scabbing—hands off! Picking can cause scarring or pull out pigment before it sets, leading to patchy brows.

Long-Term Brow Care Tip

Once your brows are fully healed, show them some love by applying sunscreen daily. Yes—brow sunscreen! UV rays are one of the biggest culprits when it comes to premature fading of permanent makeup brows.

Bottom line: The healing process is just as important as the procedure itself. At AllFace & Co., I make sure every client leaves with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to care for their brows like a pro. Follow your brow aftercare instructions, and your healed brows will be nothing short of perfection.

Self-Care for Moms: How Permanent Makeup Can Save You Time and Boost Confidence

In the world of motherhood, finding time for yourself can feel nearly impossible. Between morning routines, school drop-offs, and juggling daily responsibilities, self-care often takes a backseat. But what if there was a way to feel more put-together and confident every day without needing a full routine? That’s where permanent makeup comes in. Let’s dive into how this incredible option can be a game-changer for busy moms.

Why Self-Care Matters for Moms

It’s easy to feel like taking time for yourself is selfish, but self-care is essential for a balanced, happy life. Studies show that when moms take time to care for themselves, they feel more fulfilled and better able to care for their families. Feeling confident and prepared for the day can have a huge impact on your mindset, energy, and outlook—three things that every mom could use more of!

Permanent makeup offers an effective, time-saving solution that keeps you looking fresh and polished without the daily effort. It’s a confidence boost that allows you to focus on what matters most.

What Is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent makeup is a technique where pigment is applied to your skin to enhance features like your brows, lips, and eyes. It’s essentially a cosmetic tattoo that fades over time, giving you a naturally enhanced look that simplifies your daily routine. Services like brow microshading, lip blushing, and eyeliner can transform the way you look and feel, making mornings more manageable and giving you one less thing to worry about.

How Permanent Makeup Saves Time for Moms

For many moms, getting ready in the morning means multi-tasking—usually with kids nearby. Permanent makeup can save you 15-30 minutes each day that you would otherwise spend filling in brows, applying eyeliner, or perfecting your lip color. Over the course of a year, those saved minutes can add up to days of extra time!

Here’s how permanent makeup can simplify specific parts of your routine:

• Brows: Brow microshading creates fuller, defined brows that stay in place 24/7. No more reaching for brow pencils, gels, or powders. With a quick morning routine, you’re ready to take on the day.

• Lips: Lip blushing enhances your natural lip color, giving them a soft tint that won’t smudge or fade. You can skip the lipstick and gloss, yet still look polished and put-together.

• Eyeliner: Permanent eyeliner gives you a defined lash line or subtle wing that doesn’t require touch-ups. It’s perfect for moms who love a little extra pop but don’t have time to perfect their eyeliner.

Boosting Confidence for Busy Moms

It’s amazing how a small change can make such a big difference. Permanent makeup doesn’t just save time; it boosts confidence. For moms, feeling a bit more “done” without extra effort can lift your mood and set a positive tone for the day. Imagine looking in the mirror first thing in the morning and already feeling like the best version of yourself—no makeup bag required.

For many of us, confidence isn’t just about vanity; it’s about feeling like we’re taking care of ourselves too. When you feel good, you’re better equipped to handle life’s challenges, big and small. Permanent makeup helps provide that boost by enhancing what’s already there, empowering you to tackle each day feeling refreshed and ready.

How to Get Started

Ready to explore the benefits of permanent makeup? Here are a few tips to get started:

1. Choose the Right Artist: Make sure you select a licensed, experienced permanent makeup artist. Check reviews, look at their portfolio, and make sure their style aligns with your goals.

2. Schedule a Consultation: Your first step should be a consultation to discuss your desired look and understand what’s involved in the process. A professional artist will walk you through what to expect, the aftercare, and how to maintain your look over time.

3. Plan for Healing Time: Permanent makeup isn’t instant; there is a healing process. Plan your appointments with some time for your skin to settle, and make sure to follow your artist’s aftercare instructions for the best results.

Embrace the Ease of Permanent Makeup

As a mom, taking care of yourself is essential—not just for you, but for your whole family. When you feel confident, you bring more joy and positivity into your home. Permanent makeup is one way to invest in that confidence, all while freeing up time to focus on the moments that matter most.

If you’re ready to look and feel your best with less effort, book a consultation and see how permanent makeup can transform your routine. Say goodbye to the daily rush and hello to a little more “me-time,” all while loving the skin you’re in.
