Aftercare Day by Day
Day 1 - your freshly tattoo lips are swollen and the color is quite intense you need to start your lip blush aftercare routine as soon as half an hour or so after the treatment. The skin start oozing lymph and you need to blot it off to prevent a thick scab from forming. Blot the area with a cotton pad every 30 minutes. Refrain from eating for a few hours and drink through a straw
Day 2-10 The swelling should subside by day two and your lips will start peeling. The peeling will last for about 7 days and once the scabby film falls of the lip tattoo aftercare is over. For most people it’s on day 10 after the procedure, but if they’re still peeling at this point, keep it up until it stops.
Clean your lips after every meal, at least once a day with a mild alcohol free soap and warm water. Do not rub and be very gentle. Make it quick and dry lips by tapping them with a cotton pad or clean paper towel. Apply the ointment after every cleaning and whenever you feel like your lips are getting tight and dry.
Day 11 and onwards if your lips stopped peeling you can now go back to your normal routine including working out, you can start wearing make up and using other products but bear in mind that some skincare ingredients like retinol and acids accelerate the fading of PMU. It’s also good idea to put SPF whenever you are outdoors as sunlight can speed up pigment fading
