You can wear makeup, including lipsticks and glosses, approximately 6-8 weeks after your lip blush procedure, once your lips are fully healed.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Immediate Aftercare (First 6-8 Weeks): During the initial healing phase, it's crucial to avoid applying any makeup to your lips. The focus should be on keeping the area clean and moisturized with products recommended by your technician, typically Aquaphor or Tattoo Hustle Butter.
- Why Avoid Makeup? Applying makeup too soon can increase the risk of infection. Furthermore, it can interfere with the healing process and potentially lead to uneven color retention or scarring. Picking at the area, which can be tempting when makeup is applied, also increases the risk of color loss, scarring, and infection. Dirty hands exacerbate these risks.
- Full Healing (6-8 Weeks): Once your lips have completely healed, you can resume wearing your regular lip makeup. This typically takes around 6-8 weeks. However, it's always best to consult with your lip blush technician to confirm that your lips are fully healed before introducing makeup.
- Importance of Cleanliness: Even after healing, ensure all makeup applicators are clean to prevent potential irritation or infection.
In summary, patience is key. Adhering to the recommended aftercare and waiting until your lips are fully healed will help you achieve the best possible results from your lip blush treatment.
