Apply Skin Jelly regularly using a cotton bud. Wash your hands before applying the product and prevent cross-contamination of the product by not replacing the used bud into the container.

We recommend that you use a gentle facial cleanser to freshen your skin during the first week. Do not splash wash your face. Do however clean your permanent makeup enhancement twice daily with damp cotton pads.
Apply a layer of Vaseline to your permanent makeup enhancement when brushing your teeth to prevent it from becoming wet. Remove the Vaseline with damp cotton pads.
If your permanent makeup enhancement gets wet, gently pat the area dry using a clean tissue.
Some itching is normal. DO NOT PICK, PEEL OR RUB your permanent makeup enhancement as the colour may heal unevenly and you could risk infection, which in turn could lead to scarring. Allow the colour to flake away by itself.

Important Notes

If you suffer with cold sores at present or anytime in the past use an anti herpes medication for example Zovirax, 5 times daily for a period of 1 week. If an outbreak does occur it will generally begin on day 3 of the healing process.
Remember, your selected colour will be stronger and more sharply defined for 4 - 5 days and will then shed away appearing as if little or no colour is present. Over the next 3 weeks the colour will blossom into a considerably softer version of the original colour.
The approximate healing period is 14 days, however healing can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised, if you are generally stressed and by poor diet.
Keep in mind that in many cases, some unevenness of colour is to be expected. This is the purpose of the control visit allowing us to fine tune your permanent makeup enhancement. This is included in the initial cost, however if you do not attend your scheduled control appointment you will be charged for any further treatment. Cancellation notice is always 48 hours.

Long-term Care

Use a good sunscreen. Sun exposure will fade your micro-pigmentation permanent makeup enhancement.
If you are planning a chemical peel, laser or IPL on your face or an MRI scan, please inform the technician of your micro-pigmentation permanent makeup enhancement.
Please inform the National Blood Service if you donate blood, as you may not be eligible to give blood for 4 months post application.
