Some technicians recommend keeping your brows dry for at least 48 hours, so ask your technician what they advise. It’s completely fine to get your brows wet after the first day! If you get them wet within the first 24 hours though, you may want to talk with your technician about setting them again.

Try to distract yourself if you keep reaching for your brows. Pick something to do that keeps your hands busy, like a craft project, playing an instrument, or cooking something.

Your skin is also sensitive right now so give it a chance to recover from the procedure.

Once you’ve waited a few days, it’s totally fine to wash your face. Just try not to rub your brows when you do it.

It’s totally fine to do these things a few days after getting your brows done. By then, your brows will be set and it’s okay to get them wet.

Can’t sleep on your back? Don’t stress! Just check your brows first thing in the morning and try to brush any bent hairs back into place.

If your brows still feel really dry 3 days after the procedure, you may want to wait until they don’t feel sensitive before you use a retinoid or exfoliate.

For example, brush the brows up towards your forehead and then brush them towards your temple as they taper.

Don’t have time to apply brow gel? No worries. It’s totally fine to skip this step since your brows are already set in place. The gel just gives a little extra shine.

Don’t be afraid to wash your brows. As long as you’ve waited at least 24 hours after the procedure, you can wash with your favorite cleanser.
