aftercare

your brows and lashes need time to fully settle, so following the aftercare will help maintain your results and keep them healthy.

avoid water, steam, hot showers, saunas and intense workouts for the first 24 hours to allow the treatment to fully set.

you can still perform wudhu as normal. when drying your face, gently tap your brows rather than rubbing them.

try not to touch, rub or scratch your brows or lashes, especially during the first few days. unnecessary touching can cause irritation, affect the shape and reduce the longevity of your results.

avoid applying makeup, creams or oils directly around the brow or lash area for the first 24 hours.

use a gentle, non-oily cleanser around the area. avoid active ingredients for at least 36 hours, including aha’s • bha’s • retinol • vitamin c.

after the first 24 hours, apply a small amount of castor oil or jojoba oil to your brows daily to keep them nourished, soft and healthy.

gently brush your brows into place with a clean spoolie each day. you can style them while they are slightly damp to help keep them neat and in shape.
