Aftercare guide
Permanent Makeup Aftercare
Good aftercare is calm, consistent and uncomplicated. Whether you have lip blush, brows or lash enhancement, the aim is to protect the treated area while the pigment settles.
Gemma gives each client clear guidance at their appointment, welcoming clients from Hull, Hessle, Beverley, Cottingham and surrounding East Yorkshire villages.
Simple principles
How to support your healed result
Permanent makeup goes through visible changes as it heals. Colour can look stronger at first, then soften. The treated area may feel dry or delicate. Gentle care helps avoid unnecessary irritation.
Avoid friction
Do not pick, scratch or rub, even if the skin feels dry during healing.
Protect the area
Avoid swimming, heavy sweating and direct makeup until advised.
