How to Maintain Your Nano Brows Like a Pro
You’ve just walked out of the salon with a fresh set of nano brows that are on fleek, and you’re feeling fabulous. Now what? The secret to keeping your brows looking as flawless as the day you got them is all in the aftercare. Don’t worry, maintaining your new brows at home is as easy as following a few simple steps! Here’s your ultimate guide to keeping those brows picture-perfect.
1. Hands Off the Goods!
Tip: Refrain from touching or picking the treated area.
Why: As tempting as it may be to touch those fabulous brows, avoid it! Touching can introduce bacteria and lead to irritation or infection. Plus, picking can cause scabs to fall off prematurely, taking your pigment with them. Keep your hands busy with something else!
2. Avoid Getting Wet (Yes, Really)
Tip: Do not wash or wet your brows for 10 days.
Why: Water and fresh brows are like oil and vinegar—they just don’t mix. Water can disrupt the healing process and wash away pigment, so keep your brows dry. Use face wipes or a damp cloth to clean your face around the brows.
3. Skip the Gym, Lounge Instead
Tip: Avoid working out and exercising for 10 days.
Why: Sweat can be a real brow-buster. Working out can cause your brows to sweat, which can lead to fading and uneven healing. Use this as a great excuse to skip the gym and enjoy some quality couch time instead!
4. Say No to Saunas and Hot Tubs
Tip: No sauna, steam, long hot baths, swimming, or hot tubs.
Why: High heat and humidity can cause your brows to scab excessively and heal unevenly. It’s like asking your brows to melt away! Stick to cool showers and avoid any steamy situations for a while.
5. Keep Your Skincare Simple
Tip: Avoid skincare products with Vitamin A, AHAs, or BHAs.
Why: These ingredients are fabulous for anti-aging but terrible for new brows. They can cause the pigment to fade prematurely. Stick to gentle, brow-safe skincare products until your brows are fully healed.
6. Tan Lines? Not for Your Brows!
Tip: No salon tanning and avoid sun exposure for 30 days.
Why: The sun’s UV rays can be harsh on healing brows, leading to fading and discoloration. If you must go out, wear a hat or use an umbrella. Your brows will thank you!
7. Put the Makeup Down!
Tip: Refrain from putting makeup on and near the area.
Why: Makeup can clog your pores and introduce bacteria to your fresh brows. Give them a break from the beauty products for a bit. Trust us, they’re already beautiful enough!
8. Moisturize Like You Mean It
Tip: Apply cream twice daily for 10 days only with the cream given at your appointment (morning and night).
Why: Keeping your brows moisturized is key to a smooth healing process.
Following these steps will keep your brows looking their best and ensure you get the most out of your new nano brows. Remember, patience and care are key. Your eyebrows are in it for the long haul, and with these tips, they’ll stay as fierce as the day you got them!
