RULES FOR CLEANING YOUR BROWS
WASH YOUR HANDS! Clean brows with what is given, or a baby-water-wipe ONLY. Make sure you get through any natural brow hair and cleanse the skin well - VERY IMPORTANT. Your skin should feel smooth. Air-Dry then apply a VERY THIN layer of oil as directed. One drop will be enough for both brows. Do NOT over apply, this will compromise your pigment retention. *You may use a hair dryer on cool to dry your brows if needed. *Oily skin: apply ointment ONLY when skin feels dry and very tight. *Normal to Dry skin: if your brows feel dry and very tight you may use a little more oil in between your scheduled cleaning. *Replace your pillow case a few times while healing.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION

For 30 days: Avoid – Sunbathing, solarium, light therapies, chemical peelings, fruit acids, microdermabrasion, creams that contain regeneration factors. Always avoid laser treatments over the treated area during the healing process (facial laser, IPL), because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns.
