7 Eyebrow Shaping Aftercare Tips

There's nothing better than a good brow job; a professional shape and tint can transform not only your eyebrows but your whole face. If you want the perfection to last though, a bit of aftercare is essential. This also helps you swerve common post-treatment conundrums like breakouts around the brows, or discolouration of your tint.

Who better to ask than Nilam Holmes-Patel, the CEO and co-founder of HD Brows, the rules for keeping a salon-perfect brow shape? Billed as the 'UK's number one brow treatment'​, stylists work to tint, wax, thread and pluck – if necessary – your ideal brows. Follow their aftercare commandments below to keep your brows wow for longer.

1. Always follow your stylist's recommendations and avoid tweezing in between appointments to maintain the best long-term shape.

2. Avoid using makeup and facial cleansers around the brow area for the following 24 hours.

3. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, the use of sunbeds, saunas, steam rooms and swimming pools for 24 hours.

4. Avoid exfoliating and using anti-ageing products around the brow area for three days either side of the treatment.

5. Avoid the temptation to over touch the brow area after a treatment. Touching can add oils in to the area (from your fingers/hands) and could clog the open pores, resulting in spots.

6. Remember your tinting results will be darker and more defined immediately after your treatment. The makeup applied is not permanent and the tint will fade depending on the frequency of cleansing.

7. Inform your stylist immediately should you experience any swelling, itchy rashes, bruising, skin grazing or cuts after your treatment so they can advise you on the correct procedure to follow. If you have any questions or concerns, be honest with your stylist – feedback is always valued.​
