Hello hello! Summer is here – time for sunshine, beach days, and poolside lounging! But if you’ve recently gotten microblading or are considering it, you might be wondering: Can I still enjoy summer fun with my fabulous new brows? Absolutely! With a little planning and some aftercare TLC, you can rock your microbladed brows all summer long.
Sun’s Out, Buns Out, Brows Protected?
Here’s why summer might require some adjustments to your microblading aftercare routine:
- Sun Exposure is a Double-Edged Sword: While a healthy dose of vitamin D can be beneficial, excessive sun exposure can lead to premature fading of your microblading pigment.
- Sweat Happens: Summer means more activity and sweating. While light sweating shouldn’t significantly impact healing, excessive sweat can disrupt the healing process and potentially blur the pigment.
Keeping Your Brows Looking Fresh All Summer
Don’t worry, you can still have your summer fun and stunning brows! Here are some essential tips:
- Sun Protection is Priority: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily, and reapply frequently, especially after swimming or sweating.Consider hats with wide brims for added sun protection.
- Embrace the Hat Trend: Stylish hats are not just for fashion anymore! They provide excellent shade for your face and brows, minimizing sun damage.
- Minimize Sweaty Activities: While you don’t have to become a total couch potato, try to avoid excessively sweaty activities during the first few weeks of healing.
- Blot, Don’t Rub: If you do sweat, gently blot your brow area with a clean tissue instead of rubbing. Rubbing can irritate the healing skin and potentially displace pigment.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin healthy and promotes optimal healing. This can indirectly benefit your microblading results.
Poolside Perfection: Extra Care for Water Lovers
If you’re a mermaid at heart, here are some additional tips for protecting your microblading by the pool or beach:
- Limit Chlorine Exposure: Chlorine can be drying and potentially cause slight color fading. Take short dips and rinse your face with clean water afterwards.
- Skip the Saltwater: Saltwater can also be drying and irritate the healing skin. If you do go for a swim in the ocean, rinse your face with freshwater afterwards.
Remember: Consult your artist for specific aftercare instructions tailored to your unique situation.
