Microblading is not just a beauty service; it's a treatment that requires talented/skilled artists and dedicated/proper aftercare to ensure great-looking and long-lasting results. Your microblading journey doesn't end with the last stroke of the blade; it continues through the aftercare phase. In this guide, we'll tackle one of the most common questions we hear at our eyebrow microblading salons: "How long after microblading can I wash my face?" Let's delve into the dos and don'ts of microblading aftercare.

How Long After Microblading Can I Wash My Face?

Before we jump into the specifics, let's recap what microblading entails. Microblading involves using tiny micro-needles to deposit ink that mimics the natural colors of your brows. As this process involves manipulating the top layers of the skin, an aftercare regimen is crucial to prevent any skin issues. Everyone's skin reacts differently to salon treatments, so it's essential to closely monitor your eyebrow skin after microblading. The pigmented area may produce excess fluid from the lymphatic system, contributing to drainage around the eyebrows. Gently patting the skin with a sterile DRY cloth helps absorb this fluid without causing any irritation. We understand the urge to wash your newly microbladed eyebrows. However, you'll need to exercise patience and wait at least ten days after your initial microblading appointment before washing them. Washing your eyebrows prematurely can lead to several issues:

Delay in Healing: Washing too soon can disrupt the scabbing process, delaying the skin's natural healing.
Pain and Burning Sensation: Water can cause pain and a burning sensation on the freshly microbladed skin.
Color Alteration: Premature exposure to water may loosen the skin and lighten the pigment of the inks, causing discoloration.

During the ten-day waiting period, you can perform light cleaning using a very gentle touch of soft antibacterial soap; this helps keep the scabs and skin clean without introducing problems associated with water exposure. When showering, resist the temptation to wash your face and eyebrows. Avoid water contact during the shower; if water splashes on your face, be sure to divert it away from your brows. It may seem challenging, but the payoff is worth it – beautifully healed and fabulous-looking eyebrows!
