It's best to brush your teeth carefully with just water for the first 72 hours after getting lip blush.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
The First 72 Hours: During the initial healing phase, your lips are particularly sensitive. Toothpaste can irritate the freshly blushed skin and potentially interfere with the pigment settling properly. Brushing with just water minimizes this risk.
-
After 72 Hours: You can typically resume using toothpaste after the initial 72-hour period, but be extremely gentle.
-
Precautions When Brushing:
- Be Gentle: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a light touch. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.
- Avoid Contact: Try to avoid getting toothpaste directly on your lips.
- Rinse Thoroughly: After brushing, rinse your mouth thoroughly to remove any lingering toothpaste residue.
- Monitor for Irritation: If you notice any redness, swelling, or discomfort, discontinue using toothpaste for a bit longer and consult with your lip blush artist.

General Aftercare Tips: Beyond brushing, remember these important lip blush aftercare tips:
- Avoid oily, salty, and acidic foods.
- Avoid alcohol.
Following these guidelines will help ensure proper healing and beautiful, long-lasting results from your lip blush treatment.
