Don't worry, here's what to do if I get my eyebrows wet after microblading.
It seems like people never seem to agree when there is a solution so simple in front of them that it is called common sense.
In my first article here, I broke this myth, but I want to go into more depth today.
What do you do if you have a cut?What is the cheapest, most proven way to clean a wound?The answer is soap and water.
Surgeons use soap and water to wash their hands before they put on gloves for surgery.They do not use cotton rounds with witch hazel or essential oil to wipe it.
When discussing the subject of Microblading and any other PMU or tattoo aftercare, like everything else in life, we must always try to apply common sense to our actions and remember what we learned in school about hygiene 101; wash the yuckyness away with water and soap.
My grandad and my dad used to tell me that the best way to kill germs was to drown them.What did they mean by that?There is water and soap.
Is it a good idea to wash my eyebrows with soap and water?
I recommend that my clients wash their eyebrows 4 hours after the procedure because the face is delicate.It's important that our faces aren't harsh or forcefully after we've caused trauma from powders, ombs, or PMU punctures.The treated area should be washed with a light touch, clean water, and little mild soap.lightly pat the eyebrows dry with a fresh clean paper towel.
We have a great aftercare template form that comes pre-installed in the Microblading App.
The client is not supposed to get any water on the eyebrows for at least 24-48 hours or even a week after the procedure because it can affect the color retention.
That information is incorrect because whoever gave it doesn't know much about wound healing.
The human body is so complex and well made that it's one of the main reasons why most doctors and scientists don't believe in a God.
When part of this machine is in danger, our brain sends white blood cells to start repairing what is being damaged, like getting scratched or punctured by our PMU machine or Microblading tools.
Some of the white blood cells are called macrophages, they have the ability to locate and eat foreign bodies likebacteria, or in our case the pigment particles being injected into our skin.
Getting your eyebrows wet after Microblading by washing them with water and soap does not affect the result from the ink underneath your skin, because it is already being treated by your body's defense system.
No matter how much water you put on top of the skin, it will not close the wound created from PMU.
Remember to wash your eyebrows with soap and water after Microblading to prevent them from getting infections.Depending on how the healing process is going, I tell my clients to wash them 4 hours after the procedure.
After getting Microblading or any other type of PMU done, we can clean our eyebrows with good old soap and water, no need for fancy smancy special wipes or snake oils.
I will go for a swim in the ocean if I can take a shower and wash my hair after my eyebrow Microblading procedure.
It is recommended to wash the eyebrows with soap and water 4 hours after the microblading procedure, but we cannot ask our clients not to do these things for at least 2 to 7 days.
Submerging the head or treated area in the ocean, pool, bathtub, jacuzzi water is a bad wet number one.The shower is ok.!
Bad wet number 2 includes spinning class, sauna, laying on the sun, long hot showers and anything that makes you sweat.Your perfect human body?They are trying to keep the particles under the skin.It becomes very difficult for them to do their job when you sweat.
There is a problem with long hot showers.We start to sweat from the heat when we are thinking about life and enjoying that hot wet jet on our shoulders.
