Looking after your brows
Day 1
Wash your brows approximately an hour or two after your appointment. Use mild soap or cleanser, lather with clean fingers and gently go over your brows. Rinse and pat dry with a clean towel/paper towel. Apply a thin layer of the ointment you were sent home with.
Keep your brows dry and sweat-free.
Day 2 & 3
No more washing at this point. Keep applying ointment morning and night with a q-tip or clean fingers to protect your skin while it’s sensitized.
Avoid sun exposure as sunscreen is not advised at this point. Hats are your friend.
Continue to keep your brows dry and sweat-free.
Days 4 - 10
No washing and no more ointment. Allow them to dry out and get flaky. You’ll start to see flakes of skin with surface pigment sluffing off. That’s what we want! Avoiding prematurely picking at these flakes as it can impede retention.
You know it, continue to keep your brows dry and sweat-free.
Looking after your freckles
Days 2 - 7
Wash your face once a day. Use a simply cleanser like Cetaphil or Cerave. With clean hands, cleanse with light pressure. Once dry, pat on a simple, gentle moisturizer.
The freckles will start to flake off around day 4 or 5. Avoid picking at them as it will impact retention.
Avoid sun exposure as sunscreen is not advised at this point. Hats, hats, hats.
Keep your skin dry and sweat-free.
Day 1

Day 8 and on…
At this point likely everything has flaked off. You’re golden. Treat your skin as you normally would, but be diligent with sunscreen henceforth.
