Natural Brows
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Avoid using any self-tanning products on the face prior to your treatment. If you do wish to use a tanning product on your face, apply a barrier to the hair (Vasaline) and just around the brow prior to tanning to prevent discolouration of your tint otherwise brows can turn green. If you wish to tan soon after having your brows have been tinted you will need to do the same and apply a barrier cream.
With any waxing treatment there is a potential risk of redness, tenderness or even some slight skin lift. Your therapist will take all precautions to ensure you dont experience skin lift. Ideally, we recommend you stop using your retinol products a 7-10 days before your scheduled appointment. As for other ingredients that can cause skin to become sensitive and pose problems for your upcoming facial/ brow waxing appointment, glycolic acid and lactic acid should be avoided about 5 days prior. If you're using these products your bro artist will thread or tweeze your brows
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT
-
Always follow your stylist's recommendations and avoid tweezing in between appointments to maintain the best long-term shape.
-
If you've experienced some slight skin lift you can use Bpanthen
-
Avoid applying eye make up, exfoliators, facial cleanser or other cosmetics around your brow area after your treatment.
-
Don't touch your freshly-waxed brows-while your skin is in a sensitive state.
-
Wait at least 24 hours before using self tanner on your face to prevent a patchy finish. Your skin needs time to get back to normal before you apply any product on your brows.
-
Steer clear of swimming pools, saunas and steam rooms on the day of your treatment in the same way as you would if you'd had a bikini line wax or leg wax.
-
Don't mess with your eyebrow shape in-between treatments. Feel free to tweeze stray hairs on the very edges of your brows but steer clear of the arch to avoid over-plucking or accidentally altering the general structure of your eyebrows.
-
Always brush your brows up and out using a spoolie. Gently combing the brows into shape before you fill in gaps will make it easier to see where you might need to draw in pencil/pomade marks.
-
Use an eyebrow pencil to fill in gaps, add texture and create the illusion of a fuller brow if you feel you need some extra oomph.
-
Avoid exfoliating and using anti-ageing products around the brow area for three days either side of the treatment..
-
Remember your tinting results will be darker and more defined immediately after your treatment. Allow 2-3 days for it to settle. Any tint residue on the skin will last a couple of days but at least 4 weeks on the hair.
-
Inform your stylist immediately should you experience any swelling, itchy rashes, bruising, skin grazing or cuts after your treatment so they can advise you on the correct procedure to follow. If you have any questions or concerns, be honest with your stylist - feedback is always valued.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THE SPECIFIC AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED TO ENSURE THE BEST POSSIBLE RESULT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT THE AFTERCARE PROCESS, BE SURE TO ASK YOUR ARTIST FOR MORE GUIDANCE.
