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.

Permanent Makeup After-Care Tips

Having a permanent makeup procedure is very painful. You may find swelling, irritation or burning in your eyebrows, eyes, lips or whatever area has been treated, a week or two after the procedure. It is similar to a skin wound, which needs care and medications to heal quickly and effectively.

If you have just come from your dermatologist after your beauty enhancing permanent makeup procedure, these may be the teeny weenie tips you need to know until your body parts are completely healed and ready to shine:

•    You might feel the burning sensations on your brows, lips or eyes, but don’t give in to the temptation of running to the freezer and place wet chill ice cubes, as they may damage the cells. The best way to cool your burning is to softly cool the skin with dry cold pack a few times. But don’t overdo it.

•    Keep the area covered all the time with healing ointment. You can use your favorite vitamin-enriched healing ointments.

•    Take complete bed rest for at least 2 days after the procedure as rest will increase healing process.

•    Do not touch, tease, scratch or scrub the pigmented area, as it may result in serious complications. Fight any temptation to do so and wait patiently for the pigmented area to peel off

•    Do not expose the area to a full pressure shower, before taking a shower, apply a thick layer of Vaseline and then take a bath.

•    Sleep straight for the first couple of days, as any touch of the pigmented area with the pillow might cause delay in healing.

•    Stay away from direct sun exposure or using any sun block cream for the first couple of days.

The full healing of the permanent makeup procedure takes about 2 months time. Within this time period stay away from swimming in chlorinated water, or using any anti-aging product. After two months, visit your dermatologist if any touch up is needed. Your permanent makeup color will fade to look natural after this time period, so you are ready to rock the world with dazzling beauty.
