11 Things You Must Know Before Microblading Your Eyebrows (6 of 6)

Following the after-care instructions will yield the best results.

Being sure to abstain from things like working out, submerging your face in water, or applying cosmetics directly to the brow will ensure the best results, according to Carey. Wiping down the brows with a lukewarm water dampened cotton ball is good to do three times a day to keep lymph fluid out of the fresh, small wounds. Carey also suggests using barrier cream a couple times a day, depending on skin type.

Avoiding the sun and retinol products is also recommended.

Direct sunlight and the tanning bed are two things you want to avoid following treatment, according to Carey. This is a great time to use SPF, and avoid products with retinol and AHA to extend the life of your microblading.
