Aftercare
Aftercare is crucial for the maintenance the of your lash and brow treatments. Proper care can ensure longer-lasting effects, prevent irritation, and promote healthy hair growth. Following aftercare guidelines can help preserve the integrity of the treatment and enhance your overall look. By investing a little time in aftercare, you’ll keep your lashes and brows looking fabulous for longer!
Waxing
-
Immediately apply a gentle, moisturising post-wax lotion—preferably one with tea tree or aloe vera—to hydrate and reduce irritation. This is completed in salon as a complimentary part of your waxing service.
-
A bit of redness, itching, or minor bruising is normal as the hair is pulled from the root. Refrain from touching or scratching the area until the skin has recovered. A cold compress can help soothe and calm the area.
-
For the next 24-48 hours: Avoid heat and UV light as your skin is extra sensitive and could burn or become irritated. Use only lukewarm or cool water on waxed skin. Further, avoid the use of cosmetic products and swimming after waxing as the process leaves your skin pores open and more susceptible to irritation and infection.
-
Consider using a gentle facial exfoliant two or three times a week to remove dead skin cells that can trap hair follicles. This helps prevent ingrown hairs and keeps the brow area looking smooth. Wait at least 24-48 hours after your brow wax before exfoliating so your skin has time to recover.
Lash and Brow Tinting
-
To achieve the maximum colour effect, do not apply products containing oil to the tinted area for the first 24 hours.
-
Regular face washing and the use of oil-based skincare products can lead to the tint fading more quickly. To maximise the duration of the tint, it is advisable to follow a gentle cleansing routine and avoid excessive rubbing or use of harsh products around the tinted areas.
-
RefectoCil Styling Gel is recommended post-tint to keep brows and lashes looking vibrant. Formulated with D-Panthenol, it seals in color, prevents fading, and nourishes the hair for a healthier appearance. Used routinely, it helps maintain a freshly tinted look for longer.
