After Care
Post-Lip Blushing Care: What to Expect and How to Take Care of Your Lips
Day 1 Until Heal:
Following the procedure, your body will begin producing lymphatic fluid, which is a yellowish-clear liquid that helps the skin heal and form scabs. To remove this fluid, use the sterile water wipes provided to you 1-2 hours after the procedure.
Let your lips settle and dry for a while, then apply a thin layer of a&d ointment, Aquaphor, or coconut oil periodically. Avoid using any other lip balm as it may contain ingredients that could remove the pigment from your new tattooed skin. Your lips may feel tender on the first day, so avoid eating food that is too hot or cold, too spicy, or citrusy.
Swelling: It's perfectly normal for your lips to be swollen immediately after the procedure. However, each person's body chemistry is different, so some may experience more swelling than others. Don't worry, though; it's all part of the healing process and will subside over time.

Long Term Care of your Lips
Tips for Maintaining the Longevity of Your New Eyebrows
After your brows have fully healed, it's vital to protect them from the sun by applying sunscreen with an SPF ranging from 30 to 50. Sun exposure can cause the color pigment to fade more quickly.
While applying foundation, be mindful of your healed brows. If foundation covers the treated area, your brows will appear lighter. Use a cotton swab to remove makeup from your brows.
