Before the holidays, many people want to fix their brows and lashes to keep them looking good against the lovely sun. In addition, you may be a little less inclined to spend time on styling during the summer, and then a treatment can be a good solution. But to make your treatment last as long as possible, there are certain things that are important to think about both before and after. Here we list them!
Avoid this 24 hours before treatment
Many of us like to combine our brow and lash treatment with other beauty fixes. This includes, among other things, the use of tan without sun. But did you know that the contents of such products can react with the brow color, causing your skin to turn green? No, thanks! This can be avoided by using petroleum jelly around your brows when applying sunless tan, but the best option is to simply wait until after your brow treatment. If you enjoy using skin care products that contain acid and active ingredients, it may be a good idea to avoid them too before your treatment - especially if you have sensitive skin. As these products remove the top layer of skin, it is easy for the skin to react negatively to treatments such as threading.
Book your time strategically
Before the holidays, it can be good to book your appointment well in advance. There is often high pressure before the holidays when many people want to get their brows and lashes fixed, which leads to appointments running out quickly. In addition, it may be a good idea not to book the day before you leave - at least not if you want to be able to swim immediately when you arrive.
Things to think about after your treatment
Whether you have sensitive skin or not, you should avoid using skin care and make-up products that contain active ingredients immediately after your treatment. Using these types of ingredients on your open follicles can lead to irritation, and at worst, infections. Therefore, avoid these products during the first day after your treatment.
Avoid water after these treatments
Two of our most popular treatments are Brow Lift and Lash Lift. If you have done any of these, it is very important to avoid water for 24 hours after your treatment. This means that gym sessions and the shower have to wait a day for you to achieve your desired result.
