POST CARE
    • Day of: If your eyes still feel swollen or uncomfortable in the evening, before bed apply a THIN layer of balm, a clean paper towl, then use an ice pack for 10 minutes. Gently blot off balm after. Do not wash until the following morning
    • Wash the eye area twice a day with baby shampoo for 7-10 days. Use your fingertips to gently but thoroughly cleanse the area, including in the lash line. Rinse well, and pat dry gently with a paper towel or CLEAN cotton towel. 
    • For thicker eyeliners, aftercare ointment can be applied to relieve tightness/discomfort while healing. Apply a VERY thin layer to freshly washed skin. Only apply if your skin feels like it needs it, otherwise, no balm is needed

      DON’T
    •        DO NOT PICK!!! Allow flaking to naturally come off, picking could lead to scarring/poor color retention because it pulls the color out of your skin and can cause scarring.
    •        Don’t apply any product other than the provided aftercare for at least 7 days.
    •       Don’t work out, swim, or sweat excessively for the first 10 days.

       

    What to Expect

    Swelling in the first 3 days is common. Sleeping slightly elevated and/or soft gel icepacks can help reduce this. 

    Day 1-3: Eyes feel Sore and heavy, possibly red and stingy. Swelling may occur and eyes will start to form scabs.
    Day 4-5: Swelling reduces and eyes start to feel normal. Skin may feel dry and itchy, scabs start to peel and look patchy.
    Day 6-10: 70-100% of scabs fall of in this time. Color may look very light and thinner, color may look uneven
    Week 2-4: Deep healing is going on and color will start to return as the skin heals more thoroughly.
    Week 8: Touchup time!
