Before & After Care – Eyes

BEFORE & AFTER RITUALS FOR YOUR EYES

DIVINITY IN THE DETAILS

The right before & aftercare will only elevate your final look. To assist you with your permanent makeup tattoo procedure, we’ve curated a healing ritual that will help to ensure that you get the best results possible!

PROPER PREP

Before

6 weeks BEFORE your appointment:

Discontinue Retin-A, and Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and any chemical exfoliant or "brightening" skincare products. (Once your eyeliner has fully healed, you must cover your tattoo area with VASELINE prior to the use of these products to prevent premature fading).

Discontinue Latisse and any other lash growth serum

2 Weeks BEFORE Your Appointment:

Please avoid tanning and sunburns. We will not be able to do your service if you have either.

No facials.

24 Hours BEFORE Your Appointment:

Do not drink alcohol 24 hours before your tattoo
Do not consume coffee the morning of your service; this is includes decaf. No Coffee or Caffeine.
Do not take any Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain relief.
If you wear contacts, please do not wear them to your appointment and refrain from wearing them for a minimum of 24 hours after procedure is finished.
Arrive WITHOUT any eye makeup or eyelashes on

LASH LIFT AFTER CARE

  • Do not apply makeup or receive any other eye
    treatments for at least 24 hours after your treatment.
  • Avoid swimming/sauna for 24 hours.
  • Keep eyelashes dry for 24 hours.
  • Use an eyelash conditioner daily.
  • Avoid the temptation to over touch the eye area
    afer treatment. Touching can add oils to the
    area (from fingers/hands).
  • Comb the lashes upwards using a mascara
    wand when needed.

REMEMBER

  • Do not wear contact lenses during the procedure or 24 hrs after
  • Grab your favorite pair of Sunglasses! Eyes may be light sensitive or even dilated immediately after. The sunglasses are also handy for hiding puffy eyes.
  • Take Tylenol as necessary for discomfort. Do not take any NSAIDS, they will thin your blood.
  • Eyes may feel dry or irritated. Use Lubricating refresher drops if needed.
  • Apply ointment with clean fingers twice daily for 10 days after cleaning. No scrubbing, rubbing, or picking.
  • Do not pick or pull off the pigment, let it fall off naturally! Itching is normal.
  • You may apply a clean ice pack (which must be protected with a wet barrier film of paper toweling, towel or cloth) for 10-minute intervals for the first 48 hours. Ice may be applied every hour or so, if desired. Do not put ice directly on area.
  • Refrain from wearing makeup on or around the eyes for a minimum of 7 days.
  • Do not use an eyelash curler for 2 weeks. Clean eyelash curler with alcohol prior to using.
  • Refrain from eyelash extensions for a minimum of 2 weeks post your eyeliner service.
  • Avoid Retin-A, Glycolic Acids, and Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) near eyes to prevent premature fading.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 4 weeks after your procedure. Direct sunlight can cause the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause hyper-pigmentation and scarring.
  • NO underwater swimming for 7 days to avoid bacterial infection.
  • Avoid pool, sauna, steam rooms, steamy showers, and hot baths for 7 days.
*Expect moderate swelling, usually one to three days following the eyeliner procedure. While healing, the eyeliner tattoo will look spotty. This is due to healing skin regeneration. Healed eyeliner will fade up to 50%. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired results.

Please take your healing seriously. The rituals we curated for you are to maximize your results. Rest and hydration will also elevate your results.
