Permanent Eyeliner – Aftercare Tips

Permanent eyeliner can be the best option for women who are crazy for their eyeliners. Yeah, some women are, including me! If you are one of those women, who feel “naked” if she is not wearing her mysterious black eyeliner, then yes, permanent eyeliner can save half of your makeup regime time!

Plus, I have always tend to wash my face during office hours, yes may be in the middle of the day, to click the refresh button, and at that time I hate to reapply my makeup, that and there are so many other moments, when women completely want to apply their dear eyeliner, but Alas they don’t have time! Well, the only solution that seems reasonable and safe at this time is permanent eyeliner! Safe, if you do the desired result pre-procedure and extensive care after-procedure!

So if you have just come home with brand new permanent eyeliner, this is what you need to know!

1.    Treated area remains tender and very sensitive until the wound is completely healed so avoid the temptation to scratch.

2.    If your permanent eyeliner feels puffy, apply cold wet cotton pads soaked in distilled water and baby oil. Chill pads in freezer for 4 to 5 minutes and then apply them on your eyes softly.

3.     Keep the pigmented area moist all time with Vaseline, A & D ointment or Lanolin. To apply them on your permanent eyeliner, use a Q – Tip or micro Q – Tip. Please do not scrape the sealant directly on the pigmented area, only place it gently on your eyeliner and it will melt automatically with your natural body heat.

4.    As the pigmented area is in healing period, it is likely to form a crust on the healing area. Avoid scratching and removing the crust with excessive use of water and let the wound heal by on its own gradually. DO NOT PEEL, SCRATCH OR EXFOLIATE!

5.    Wear sunglasses, whenever you are out to protect your healing permanent eyeliner from direct sun exposure.

6.    Do not wear contact lenses for at least 24 hours after your permanent eyeliner procedure.

7.    Old and used makeup cosmetics possess higher risk of infection. After your permanent eyeliner is completely healed, start with fresh mascaras and kohl-pencils and eye shades.

8.    Do not use eyelash curlers for 2 weeks after your procedure.

9.    If you were using Emu oil prior permanent makeup procedure, discontinue using it after your procedure as it may cause your pigment color to bleed or migrate.

10.    Do not take hot water baths, steam, and saunas for a week after your procedure.
