The essential aftercare guide for microblading & PMU
In the realm of enhancing facial beauty through microblading or machine permanent makeup, aftercare plays a pivotal role in determining the longevity and vibrancy of your results. Achieving the desired eyebrow shape and ensuring optimal pigment retention demand meticulous adherence to post-treatment care instructions.
Immediate post-session care
Within the first thirty minutes following your procedure, gently cleanse your eyebrows using the premium aftercare kit provided by Browboutique. The kit includes specially designed wipes that effectively absorb lymph without disrupting the healing process. Lymph is the culprit behind scab formation, which can lead to pigment loss and uneven healing — by cleansing the treated area properly, you can prevent scabbing altogether.
Moisturising with Skin Candy
After cleansing, apply a minimal amount of Skin Candy cream (which contains beeswax) to the eyebrow area. The size of half a grain of rice is enough. Avoid over-applying the cream, as excess oil can interfere with the healing process. Cleanse your eyebrows every hour and a half for the rest of day one.
Special patches for sleep
During the first night, wear the provided patches while sleeping to further protect the area and promote healing. The following day, cleanse your eyebrows two or three times, applying Skin Candy cream afterwards.
Oily skin care
For clients with oily skin, no additional cream is necessary. Simply cleanse your eyebrows twice a day, morning and evening, for 10–15 days, and treat the eyebrows separately from the rest of your facial cleansing routine.
Post-treatment regimen
Avoid swimming, excessive sweating, dusty environments, saunas, steam rooms, direct sun exposure and makeup application on the eyebrows for the first 15 days. These precautions are crucial to prevent pigment loss and ensure optimal results — especially during summer.
Sun protection for long-lasting pigment
After the initial 15-day window, apply a sun protection patch or SPF 50 sunscreen to your brows whenever you are exposed to strong sunlight. UV rays are the single biggest cause of pigment fading and unwanted colour shifts over time.
Maintaining brow shape
Regular tweezing is essential to maintain the designed brow shape. Allow stray hairs to grow beyond the desired contour, then tweeze them regularly to prevent unevenness — never tweeze inside the designed shape.
A long-lasting result begins at home
By following these aftercare instructions meticulously, you can unlock radiant, long-lasting eyebrows that enhance your natural beauty.
