Microblading is a powerful way to enhance your eyebrows with natural-looking, semi-permanent results—but how you care for your brows afterward plays a major role in how they heal and how long they last. At Ink n Beauty in Fort Worth, we make sure every client knows exactly what to do (and what to avoid) after their microblading appointment. Follow these essential do’s and don’ts to protect your investment and ensure flawless results.

DO: Follow Your Aftercare Instructions Closely

Your artist will provide a detailed list of aftercare steps tailored to your skin type and procedure.

Why This Matters:

• Proper care ensures better pigment retention.
• Minimizes risk of infection or uneven healing.

Includes:

• Keeping brows clean and dry.
• Applying a healing balm as instructed.

DON’T: Get Your Brows Wet for the First 7–10 Days

Water can interfere with the healing process and cause pigment to fade.

Avoid:

• Long showers or steamy baths.
• Swimming or sweating from workouts.

Instead:

• Use a washcloth to cleanse around the brows carefully.

DO: Allow Scabbing to Happen Naturally

Some flaking and scabbing is part of the healing process—don’t panic!

Let It Be:

• Don’t pick, scratch, or peel the scabs.
• Allow the skin to heal and release pigment at its own pace.

Why:

• Picking can lead to scarring or patchy results.

DON’T: Wear Makeup on or Near the Brows

Applying makeup too soon can contaminate the healing area and interfere with pigment.

Avoid for at least 10 days:

• Brow powder, foundation, concealer, or eyeshadow near the brow area.

Tip:

• Keep your routine light and let your brows breathe.

DO: Avoid Sun Exposure and Tanning

The sun can bleach your pigment and damage sensitive healing skin.

Protection Tips:

• Stay indoors or wear a hat outdoors during healing.
• After healing, apply sunscreen daily on your brows to protect the pigment.

DON’T: Schedule Facial Treatments or Chemical Peels

Wait at least 4–6 weeks before booking any treatments near your brows.

Why:

• Chemical peels, facials, or microneedling can affect pigment retention and disrupt healing.

DO: Book Your Touch-Up Appointment

Your brows aren’t truly “complete” until after your touch-up session.

When to Book:

• 4–6 weeks after your initial microblading.

Why:

• Allows your artist to perfect the shape, color, and fill in any light spots.
