Lip Blushing Aftercare
It is essential that you follow these instructions after your lip blush treatment, Your healed results depend on how you take care of your lips during the healing process!
● Day 1: Blot the area with a cotton pad dampened with distilled water every hour. Apply a thin layer of the aftercare ointment prescribed by your artist.
● Day 2-10: Clean your lips after every meal – at least once a day – with a mild alcohol-free soap and water. Do not rub and be very gentle. Make it quick and dry the lips by tapping them with a cotton pad or a clean towel.
● Apply the prescribed ointment after every cleaning, and whenever you feel your lips are getting tight and dry. Keeping them covered with a layer of aftercare cream prevents heavy scabbing, and protects the area from external contamination.
General rules for the first 7-10 days, or until the peeling is over:
● Don’t touch your lips or pick at the scabs or skin that starts peeling off.
● Don’t get the lips soaking wet – no long hot showers, no swimming, no excessive sweating (this includes saunas and steam baths). Refrain from working out.
● Don’t get toothpaste on your lips.
● Don’t put any makeup or care products on the area besides the prescribed aftercare ointment.
● Don’t eat spicy or very salty foods – they’ll sting.
● Don’t drink anything too hot – it’ll trigger swelling.
● Don’t drink alcohol – it will burn and dry out your lips further.
● Don’t expose your lips to the sunlight. No tanning in the sun or in tanning beds for 3-4 weeks.
● Don’t sleep on your face.
● Don’t get teeth whitening.
Tip: Refrain from eating for a few hours immediately after the procedure. Drink through a straw. Itching and flaking may occur during the first 10 days of healing. Only use a Qtip or a cotton disk with post-care cream to relieve the itch, ensuring they heal properly.
