As with all semi-permanent makeup, it’s a multiple-step process and isn’t complete after one session.
For the first two days, an ice pack protected with fabric may be applied as necessary to reduce any swelling.
Days 1-7
- Apply a Vitamin A and D ointment (you can get this from Amazon) regularly using a cotton bud, especially when brushing your teeth, to prevent getting wet.
- During the first week, apply a gentle facial cleanser with cotton pads to freshen your skin. DO NOT splash your face.
- Clean your lips twice daily with damp cotton pads.
- Do not pick, peel, or rub your enhancement. The colour may heal unevenly, and you could risk infection, which could lead to scarring.
- Your lips will be dry; allow the colour to flake away by itself.
- No makeup should be applied close to your enhancement for 3 days.
- Avoid eating spicy and salty foods and drink through a straw for 3 days.
- Avoid colourful foods such as curries and tomato-based foods.
- No kissing for 5 days to avoid infection.
- Do not receive skincare beauty treatments for 5 days after applying your enhancement.
