When and how to wash after permanent eyebrow makeup?
Permanent makeup has become a part of the life of many girls and women. It is very convenient, it allows you to make the appearance brighter, correct some of the shortcomings, and the price is not so high for many. However, there are rules to follow. In this regard, women have many questions. For example, when and how to wash your face after permanent eyebrow makeup.
Why is it impossible to wet the tattoo?
Before or after the procedure, the master will tell you how to care for your eyebrows and face after tattooing. He will tell you in detail about what absolutely cannot be done, and will also recommend care products. And the most important recommendation is the ban on water treatments. You cannot ignore it, as it can lead to the most unpleasant consequences. During the procedure, the top layer of the skin is damaged, and a coloring pigment is applied to a certain depth. After the session, the injured area should be allowed to heal naturally for two weeks, using only antiseptic and healing agents.
Contact with water should be avoided, since there is a possibility of introducing infection into open wounds. In addition, in no case should you heat the skin, expose it to steam and moisture, since the integrity of the pigment in this case may be compromised. As a result, the tattoo will not be what the girl expected to see in the final version. It is also worth considering that in the process of washing with water, it is difficult to avoid friction, and this can lead to the discharge of a crust, which will take with it a part of the pigment. Thus, it can harm the appearance of the tattoo.
How many days can I not wash my face?
After permanent make-up, you will have to limit contact with water completely for a while. In the first hours after the procedure, the eyebrow area may burn slightly, the sensation is extremely unpleasant, and therefore there is an irresistible desire to wash with cold water. It seems that this will certainly help relieve the burning sensation. In fact, this is not the case. And forget about water. You can only very gently blot your eyebrows with a cotton pad soaked in chlorhexidine. After a while, smear with a healing ointment, barely touching the eyebrows. Sleep should be face up. In no case should you take the position with your face in the pillow. To make it easier to fall asleep, you can take a pain reliever at night.
How long you can't wash your face depends on how the healing process goes. And if you follow all the recommendations of the master, then you can shorten this period. If you consider that you cannot wash your face, use cosmetics, then it is best to time the procedure so that the next days are days off, and even better to spend this time on vacation.
At first, there will be not only a certain physical discomfort, but also a moral one, since the eyebrows will look quite bright and unusual. The normal color, which was conceived together with the master, will appear only after two weeks, when complete healing occurs. The second day will already be noticeably easier than the first in terms of unpleasant and painful sensations, but you still cannot use water.
If you still need to leave the house and at the same time carry out grooming procedures, apply makeup, then this should be done very carefully, bypassing the eyebrow area.
The same tonic, lotion or micellar water should be carefully applied to a cotton pad in a small amount and wiped off the face, remembering that you should not touch your eyebrows. They are treated with an antiseptic and healing agent. The ichor on this day may no longer stand out or go in very small quantities. You need to very carefully blot it with a soft sterile napkin or cotton pad.
Subsequent days will pass in the same mode, you will need to perform all the same manipulations. Water is still banned. For about 4-5 days, if healing proceeds correctly and all recommendations are followed, a crust will appear on the injured area. And no matter how unattractive it may look, you cannot touch it, let alone wet it with water.
If you wash your face these days, rub your eyebrows, you can nullify all the efforts of the master and your own too. If the crust is accidentally torn off on purpose, some of the pigment may come off with it. Washing is also fraught with such a situation. That is why it is important to wait until the crust falls off by itself. It will move away unevenly, in pieces, the eyebrows will peel off. Of course, there will be a desire to wash. But you will have to wait only as long as the crust will fall off.
When the eyebrows are completely clean, you can wash your face for the first time, but this must be done very carefully, avoiding strong friction. Then you should not wipe your face, but gently pat it dry with a soft, clean towel. Care should also be taken when using care products.
How to wash your hair and face safely?
Of course, another problem after tattooing is shampooing. A rare girl washes her hair less often than at least once every three days, and some do it every day. Therefore, before going to the tattoo artist, you must definitely wash your hair. This will allow you not to think about how to wash your hair without wetting your eyebrows for at least a couple of days.
Compliance with the necessary rules does not mean at all that you have to do without hygiene procedures. Of course, you can take a shower, but very quickly and cool. In this case, it is imperative to avoid hitting the jets on the head and face.
First, you need to put on a light protective cap so that it covers your eyebrows. It is only important to consider that in no case should it rub or press on the injured area.
If you still need to wash your head, there are several options to consider.
- There are situations where it is important to give your hair the appearance of cleanliness and shine. In these cases, dry shampoo will save you for a while. It should be applied to the hair and combed, and for a while you can do without a full-fledged shampooing. But this, of course, is only a temporary solution.
- A more thorough and at the same time safer option is to go to a hairdresser. There, just everything is provided in order not only to comfortably wash your hair, but also to apply a nourishing balm, a mask. A one-time shampoo will definitely not ruin anyone, but you can get clean styled hair without damaging the tattoo, and forget about the problem of shampooing for at least a couple of days. This option is definitely worth considering for those who are going to an important meeting. Well-styled, washed hair is very important in this situation, and healing eyebrows can always be hidden under bangs or dark glasses. It all depends on the time of year and the meeting place.
- Do not discount the extreme case when you still need to wash your hair at home. Then you can wrap your forehead with a clean cellophane bag and fasten a towel on top for reliability. The structure should be created in such a way that the cellophane does not fit too tightly. In this case, you need to quickly take a shower, wash your hair, trying to tilt it back and prevent water from getting on your forehead. The water should be cool, you should not spend a lot of time in the shower. The entire procedure should take a maximum of 15 minutes. As for the face, it can also be washed using your usual means, for example, gel or facial wash.
Any of these options will keep the eyebrows from getting water. But if there is an opportunity to collect hair in a ponytail, tolerate 3-4 days, then it is worth doing it. As soon as the crust on the eyebrows begins to fall off on its own, you can safely wash your hair.
The more carefully all the recommendations are followed, the faster the healing process will take place and all the usual and necessary procedures will become available.
