• Do not apply make-up or receive any other eye treatments (waxing, plucking, lash extensions, etc.) for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
• NO swimming/sauna for 24 hours.
• Avoid the temptation to over-touch the brow area after treatment. Touching can add oils to the area (from fingers/hands) and could clog the open pores.
• Do not allow prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat; refrain the use of tanning beds, saunas, steam rooms and swimming pools for 48 hours.
• No sweating/exercise for 24 hours.
• Do not apply Retin-A or AHA or exfoliate around the brow area for 3 days before and after the treatment.

• DON’T hit the beach or go swimming after eyebrow tinting/dye. Like hair dye, the quality of your color can be affected by sun exposure, salt water, and chlorine, so avoid these areas if you want to preserve your tint/dye to last. And try not to wash your face/Brow area, if possible, to extend it lasting.
• DON’T exfoliate the area after it’s been applied; thiswill remove and strip the color off. This includes cleansers with benzoyl peroxide that have bleaching properties to remove the color quickly.
