Brow Your Way

Aftercare

Your healing journey, day by day.

Beautiful brows are made in two places: the chair, and the weeks afterwards. Here is exactly what to expect, and the simple rules that protect your result.

Keep them clean and dry while healing
Never pick or peel, let flakes fall naturally
No sweat, swim, sauna or steam for two weeks
Keep direct sun off the brows: under 15 minutes is fine, longer needs a cap or big sunglasses

The timeline

What happens, and when.

  1. Day 0

    The day of your session

    Your brows look bold, sharp and a shade darker than the final result. Slight redness around the area is normal.

    Do

    • Keep the brows dry and clean for the first few hours
    • Follow the exact routine in your aftercare kit
    • Sleep on your back if you can, to avoid rubbing

    Avoid

    • Do not get the area wet
    • Do not apply makeup near the brows
    • Avoid touching them

  2. Days 1–3

    Settling in

    Colour stays dark and may feel slightly tight. This is the brows beginning to heal, no flaking yet.

    Do

    • Apply the aftercare balm sparingly as directed
    • Keep the area clean and dry
    • Wash your face around, not over, the brows
    • Wear a cap or big sunglasses if you will be in direct sun for more than 15 minutes

    Avoid

    • No sweating, hot showers, saunas or steam
    • No swimming
    • Do not pick or scratch

  3. Days 4–7

    Flaking begins

    The skin starts to flake and the colour lightens. The brows may look patchy or uneven, this is completely normal and temporary.

    Do

    • Let the flakes fall off on their own
    • Continue the aftercare balm
    • Be patient

    Avoid

    • Do not pick, rub or peel the flakes
    • No makeup on the brows
    • Keep avoiding heavy sweat and water

  4. Days 8–14

    The "ghosting" stage

    Once flaking finishes, the colour can look surprisingly light or faded, almost gone. Do not worry: the colour resurfaces as the skin settles.

    Do

    • Resume gentle washing of the area
    • Keep the skin lightly moisturised
    • Trust the process

    Avoid

    • Do not book a touch-up yet, wait for full healing
    • No exfoliants or active skincare on the brows

  5. Days 15–30

    True colour returns

    The colour blooms back, softer and more natural than on day one. Allow four to six weeks in total for your real, healed result to settle.

    Do

    • If you want a touch-up, book it once you are fully healed, from around six weeks
    • Enjoy your brows

    Avoid

    • Keep direct sun on the brows under 15 minutes, or cover with a cap or big sunglasses
    • No harsh exfoliation over the area
