We all want to look our best. And some of us are willing to go the extra step of making sure that we do! But that could mean having a meticulous makeup routine and doing the same thing every day can be tiring, like filling in your eyebrows to get the best shape.
If, like us, you don't want to keep doing it every day, then maybe it's time to look into microblading. Perhaps you've heard of it and are already considering it. Or maybe it's a foreign concept to you. More likely, you have questions like how long does microblading lasts or if it lasts longer on certain skin types.
We hope this article can help answer some of those questions!
We'll break down what microblading is first for those who don't know. It is a cosmetic procedure in which a cosmetic professional inserts a pigment under your skin using a special tool with tiny needles. The needles manually draw little hair strokes in your brow to give it a well-defined yet natural look.
With microblading, you don't have to worry about doing your brows every time you wear makeup because they're already perfect! No wonder it's becoming popular for ladies everywhere. It's been very popular in Asia for two decades and has now also grown in popularity in the US and Europe.
Because it deposits pigment under your skin, microblading is not permanent. Instead, it's a semi-permanent solution because the pigment will fade over time.
Typically, the effect of microblading can last anywhere from 18 to 30 months. How long it actually lasts can also depend on your skin type and lifestyle. Once you notice that it's fading, you will need to go back for touch-ups.
Touch-ups can also be as often as every six months or year, depending on your preferred look. It can be as simple as getting the color filled in for touch-up applications. However, if you go longer than your recommended touch-up, you might have to re-do the whole microblading process again.
If you are an oily skin type, you can still get a microblading procedure done. But the effects won't last as long compared to other skin types. This is because the amount of oil or sebum produced by your skin can make it hard for the pigment to stay in your skin. It's best to talk to a professional if you have concerns about your skin type and how long microblading can last for you.
After a microblading procedure, your skin will be sensitive. At first, it will be red and tender to the touch. Eventually, your skin will scab and flake off. It takes 10 to 28 days to heal and for the pigment to settle.
You will need to take extra care of your eyebrows during this time. Avoid picking or scratching the area as it can cause infection. It can also make the color fade quickly. Additionally, you should also avoid getting moisture on your brows. That means you will need to be careful not to get sweat on them or get them wet in the shower.
Microblading is a great semi-permanent solution for those who want to do away with doing their brows every day. And for aestheticians looking to get into the newest beauty trends, microblading is something worth considering!
