EYELINER TATTOO AFTERCARE
✔ Do
• Use an icepack (wrapped in something clean) if your eyelids feel swollen and there is bruising present.
• Take ibuprofen (if you can) and sleep slightly upright if swelling is present.
• Keep your eyes as clean and dry as you can for the first 7-10 days, to prevent a thick scab forming.
• Avoid shower water running directly over your face for the first 7-10 days.
• Avoid steamy baths & showers, saunas, steam rooms & swimming pools for the first 7-10 days.
• Avoid intense sweaty exercise for 7-10 days. Light, gentle exercising is okay after 3-4 days.
• Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks.
✘ Don’t
• Sleep on your front for the first few days – this will stop your fresh eyeliner sticking to your pillow case.
• Touch or scratch your eyelashes / eyeliner – touching & picking will cause irritation, loss of pigment and possible infection.
• Put make up, cleansers, lotions (other than provided) on or close to your eyelashes / lash line for 1-2 weeks to avoid irritation & cross contamination.
• Have facials, lash extensions, lash tinting or other face beauty treatments done for 2 weeks to avoid irritation & cross contamination.
• Use sunbeds, chemical peels or any strong face treatment (unless it's underneath your cheekbones) for 4 weeks as your skin will not be healed enough.
Long term
• Make sure you wear a daily SPF to protect your eyeliner (if winged), and a higher one when on holiday.
• If sunbathing or using tanning beds, please keep your eyes covered - UV exposure leads to faded, grey eyeliner.
• Do not use anti-aging creams, chemical peels, acids or retinols on or close to your eyeliner ever! Underneath your eyes is totally fine.

EYELINER TATTOO CLEANING ROUTINE
First 1-2 hours:
Firmly but gently blot your lash line / winged eyeliner every 10 mins to absorb any excreting lymph fluid.
This is to prevent it drying on your eyelids, creating a thick scab. Clients with oilier skin will find they produce more lymph fluid.
When you get home: Cleanse your eyes gently with a saline wipe and blot dry.
Before bed: Cleanse your eyes gently with a saline wipe and blot dry.
Day 2 - 10 : AM & PM: Cleanse your eyes gently with a saline wipe and blot dry.
Day 3 – 10 (WINGED EYELINER ONLY):
After you have cleansed and dried your eyelids, let them air dry for a few minutes. IF YOU FEEL IT IS NEEDED apply 'half a grain of rice' sized amount of After Inked to your eyeliner so that it’s slightly moisturised, NOT GREASY.
