Our obsession with brows dates back to before 2015, and continues to grow with the sheer variety of skin and makeup options, leaving us with so much to choose from. Microblading is without a doubt the biggest beauty trend in recent years.
If you're not sure what microblading is, it's a semi-permanent tattoo done using a blade with dye to sculpt the hair into a stroke-like shape. These are small cuts in the skin that require extensive follow-up care to prevent infection.
With this in mind, there are some dos and don'ts when caring for your microblades. Of course, you want to use ingredients known for their moisturizing and beneficial properties, such as hyaluronic acid. Before we do, though, let's find out if moisturizing ingredients can also be used post-microblading.
If you want to learn more about hyaluronic acid and how it affects your skin, you can check out this dedicated blog post. Can I Microblade Hyaluronic Acid on Eyebrows? No, it is best to avoid using hyaluronic acid on brows if your microblading is recent and your brows are still healing. This is because precautions must be taken. As I mentioned before, the risk of infection is high when the microblades are fresh.
The healing process takes about a week and a half. Several steps must be taken during this time. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyebrows, don't wear makeup, and avoid getting your eyebrows wet. The latter seems impossible, which is why many professionals recommend bathing rather than showering, and applying a coat of petroleum jelly to create a water-resistant barrier.
Once your brows are fully healed, you can use hyaluronic acid in your daily routine, applying it directly to your brows if you prefer. You will find that due to the hydrating and moisturizing properties of hyaluronic acid, you will be able to combat any potential dryness that may develop shortly after your microblading treatment.

After microblading, you can continue with your normal daily skincare routine, as long as you don't apply products to your brows or get them wet while they're still healing.
Once the healing process has progressed and the brow shows signs of complete healing, it is generally considered safe to resume using brow products such as cosmetics and growth serums after the scab has disappeared. Serums and their formulations should not contain harsh exfoliating ingredients or cause color changes.
There is one product that is a must-have every day, rainy or sunny. It has an SPF of 30 and up and should be applied to the entire face, including brows. Using sunscreen on your brows will help prolong microblading pigmentation and keep brows looking their best.

What not to do after microblading?
Post-microblading care is very similar to caring for a new tattoo. You may notice that the pigment in your eyebrows appears dark and the skin underneath appears reddish for a day or two after the procedure.
Two hours after microblading is done, it is recommended to clean the brows every 15 minutes with antiseptic water and a cotton swab to remove excess dye while keeping the area clean. Below are some examples of what to avoid after microblading.
Avoid getting fresh brows wet for the first 10 days. When in the shower, keep your face as dry as possible and gently cleanse your skin, avoiding the entire brow area. Do not pluck, pull, or itch the brow area during the healing process. Avoid any activity that makes you sweat until your brows are fully healed.
Keep the hair away from the eyebrows to prevent bacteria from invading the eyebrows. Use the healing ointment provided by the professional who performed your surgery. By following these tips, you'll find that you can control your brows and ensure they heal effectively, without the risk of infection or discomfort. If you have concerns about the healing of your brows, consult your doctor or a trained professional who has undergone microblading.

What should I wear after microblading my eyebrows?
Once you've microbladed your brows, you'll be given a small jar of salve to help the skin heal. Using a cotton swab and clean hands to apply the ointment, apply a thin layer of ointment to the brow bone.
Remember, all you need to do is apply a thin layer of the treatment balm to your brows. You should avoid making these look shiny, shiny or greasy, as this is a sign that you are applying too much. Slows down the healing process in general.

How to make eyebrows grow longer with microblading?
Since microblading is a semi-permanent treatment, everyone wants to maintain it for as long as possible. Typically, your microblading lasts 12 months to 2 years. A lot depends on how each person responds to hyperpigmentation differently and how long it lasts. With this in mind, we now give you some tips on how to use microblading to ensure your brows are beautiful for the long term.
Avoid excessive sun exposure after microblading your brows. This helps the healing process and keeps your brows looking fresh and as vibrantly colored as possible.
Do not use any colorants on your brows after microblading. You may notice that the pigment appears uneven during the healing process, giving the appearance that the surgery did not work. It's part of the process and completely normal.
If you are not satisfied with the results, you can discuss your options with a trained professional during your review appointment (usually after 18 months).
Hydrating the skin will help a lot! Incorporate hyaluronic acid-rich products into your routine to keep your skin looking its best. This preserves the pigment of the brows.
