One method to try and remove semi-permanent eyebrow ink involves using a baking soda paste.
While professional removal by a certified technician is the safest and most effective way to remove semi-permanent eyebrow ink, there are at-home methods you can attempt. Keep in mind that their effectiveness varies greatly, and there's a risk of irritation or damage to the skin.
Baking Soda Method
This method involves creating a paste with baking soda and shampoo and applying it to the eyebrows.
- Create the Paste: Combine a teaspoon of baking soda with a small amount of your normal shampoo (enough to form a thick paste).
- Apply to Brows: Apply the paste evenly to your eyebrows.
- Massage Gently: Gently massage the paste into your brows.
- Wait: Leave the paste on your brows for a few minutes.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your brows thoroughly with water.
- Moisturize: Apply a gentle moisturizer to the treated area.
Important Considerations:
- Skin Sensitivity: Baking soda can be abrasive. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying it to your eyebrows to check for irritation.
- Repeat Application: This method may require multiple applications over time to see any noticeable results.
- Professional Removal: If you experience any irritation or are unhappy with the results, consult a professional technician who specializes in semi-permanent makeup removal. Professional removal options like laser removal or saline solution removal are generally more effective and safer.
