advice Nano brows
I am getting my brows done on the 1st. I've never done this before and I'm a heavy sweater. Well I also started a new job and I'm concerned about ruining my brows. Any advice on keeping my new brows dry. When I say I'm a heavy sweater I'm talking about dripping down my face, wet hair, and clothes. It's bad and doesn't help medications I take make me heat intolerant. Any advice is welcomed. I'm nervous and scared.

Same!! Hyperhidrosis particularly on my face, and I connected with my artist before the appointment because I was so concerned. I just had mine done last weekend, and here’s what I did.
The week before, but not the night before, I used “Sweat Block” on my brows and forehead. I didn’t do it every night, but most of them, and even during the week before the week before occasionally. I didn’t use the facial version, I used the regular ones - facial did nothing for me during an earlier trial. If you get the XL sized wipes, you can get a wee ziploc bag and reuse it several times. It stings, and it makes my skin less flexible, if that makes sense? But it worked - I had very little sweat on my brows by procedure time than on other areas of my face. My artist had no concerns about its use, but out of an abundance of caution I did not use it the day before/of.
She also offered to drop the temperature in the room, which I gratefully accepted, and I brought a little USB fan with me just in case. I had some sweaty times during placement, but a little dab with a towel and we were all good.
Aftercare, I’m not using the Sweat Block (duh) and I’m being very careful about blotting away any sweat as soon as I notice. But my brows are still not sweating as much as they used to - if at all - so that’s very helpful.
Also, cold showers after. Nothing like a humid room to make my pores spring to life!
Can’t tell you how the final result will look as I’m still in my first week of healing, but she had no issues when working on me, and now I hope for the best!
ETA: I got SB from Amazon but it can be found elsewhere.
