Does my skin feel greasy around my T-Zone but not the rest of my face? If you answer yes to this you are combination.
Do you have flaky skin on your face or a skin issue like eczema or psoriasis? If you answer yes to this you are dry.
My skin is aways oily/greasy, my makeup doesn’t last the day sometimes ? You have an oily skin type.
Oily Skin Eyebrow Tattoo Aftercare
Oily skin and your eyebrow tattoo treatment, take care.Your skin type can find it difficult to retain pigment, this is because oily skin is already moist by nature and the goal with your aftercare is to keep them DRY. So what should you do? Follow the aftercare for All Skin Types below furthermore, do not put any creams/ointments on your brows let them dry out as much as possible even if they get itchy. Persevere through this stage. Do not moisturise your forehead until the scabbing has finished coming away from the skin. Moisturiser will migrate down your face and effect your results.

Eyebrow Tattoo Aftercare for All Skin Types
Careful attention needs to be taken when caring for your semi permanent makeup post procedure, within the next 3 days your procedure will lightly scab over then slough away, do not pick or pull at the treated area, and only use aftercare provided. Do not get the area wet or allow the jets of the shower to hit you directly in the tattooed area in the first 7 days.
It will take 24 hours for the area to create a protective barrier; your final colour result will take 28 days. A re-touch cannot in any circumstances take place until 28 days as scarring may occur. Your procedure will take 3 phases,
1) heal, 2) peel, 3) fade. We do not recommend that make up is worn post procedure or during the healing process, if makeup must be worn we recommend Combat Cosmetics minerals with Manuka honey.
Till the scabbing has flacked away avoid, swimming, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, heavy sweating.
Avoid sunbeds for a month
DO NOT pick or scratch your eyebrows
If aftercare is not followed procedures will not heal correctly and results will be poor.
