Aftercare Instructions

Remember, aftercare is just part of the equation to successful results, but it is very important part of the equation.

Absorb, Wash, and Moisturize!

fter the procedure, gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid.
Do this every 5 minutes until the oozing has stopped.
Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.

Wash daily to remove bacteria, build up of product and oils, and dead skin. (Don't worry, THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!)
Gently wash the area each morning and night with water and gentle, mild, fragrance free soap.
With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the area.
Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away.
To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.

pply a tiny, rice grain amount of the Lush Beauty and Browtique Healing Salve 3 times a day with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area, or as needed for dry and itchiness.
Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The product should be barely noticeable on the skin.
NEVER put the product on a wet or damp tattoo.

Blot the treated area with a tissue for the first hour to remove the lymph fluid.
Apply a very thin layer of the healing salve product with a cotton swab 3 times a day for 3 days or as needed.

Using the fingertips, gently wash the area with a non-scented soap or cleanser morning and night, for 7 days. We prefer Goats Milk Soap for the best healed results.
Avoid washcloths and scratching or picking at the tattoo during the healing process.
Avoid hot tubs, steam rooms, public pools, sweaty exercise, or submerging the tattoo in water for the first 10 days.
Avoid direct sunlight or tanning beds for 2 weeks after the tattoo.
Avoid putting makeup on the area for the first week.
Avoid facials, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.

Use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep.
Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.
Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of color.
No facials, botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week.
Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks after the procedure. Wear a hat when outdoors.
Avoid long, hot showers for the first 10 days.
Avoid face-down swimming, lakes, and hot tubs for the first 10 days,
Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen on the area.
DO NOT rub, pick, or scratch the treated area.

Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair.
Your face should only be getting wet only at the end of the shower.
Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.
