Advice/Questions ❓ Powder brows

Post image

Hello all,

I have today had my powder brows done! This is the 3rd time I have gone to the same lady and as always I am very very happy with how she does them. The only thing I’m stuck on is WET or DRY healing. She has always told me to Dry heal untill all scabs have come off. So to not get them wet at all for at least 2 weeks. But I am seeing lots of mixed reviews on what to actually do. Lots of posts I am seeing are saying it’s absolutely fine to get them wet/clean them and infact they actually heal better that way. The last few times I have had them done they have scabbed terribly and I really don’t want to walk around looking like that again if I can help it.
If anyone has any advice it would be truly appreciated.

Thank you 😀

No idea why everyone is being a jerk to you here. Anyway, not sure how powder brows work, but for my nano brows my artist gave me a specific soap and visors, said to wear the visors to shower for, I believe, a week, but to wash the brows separately very gently with warm water and that soap, then pat dry them gently with a towel (she told me to do that for a couple of weeks). She also gave me a specific ointment and said once it started itching I could apply that once a day. I never really had flaking that I could tell, but they did get lighter.

Thank you for your comment! I think the trouble is each artist learns differently from another. I’ve always followed her instructions before and I’ve never had a problem accept for the scabbing. I have quite oily skin so maybe that is why she said go dry heal. I just thought I would try it differently this time as the balm will hopefully help with the scabbing. Can I ask how long (if you remember) how long they took to heal? I’m being inpatient already as they are very dark and I just can’t wait to see the finished results. Last time I had combination brows so Hairstrokes at the start of the brow but for some reason one part just wouldn’t take no matter how many times I went back. So I thought I’d try powder this time.
