Lip Blush Aftercare
AFTERCARE:
1. Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching the tattooed area.
2. For the first 6 hours use cotton pads soaked in a gentle cleanser (eg. green soap) to cleanse and soothe the area, allowing the wound to close naturally in a clean environment and avoid any lymph drying.
3. If needed you can use a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a paper towel or wet wipe to the area to reduce swelling during the first 72 hours. Be sure to move the ice pack around, not leaving it too long in one area to avoid frostbite.
4. Drink through a straw for the first few days.
5. If you suffer with cold sores you can use cold cream like Zovirax on the effected area but would prefer oral medication.
6. Keep lips LIGHTLY moisturised with A&D ointment.
THINGS TO AVOID DURING THE HEALING PROCESS:
Water on the lips, aside from cleaning them. Wiping/licking lips. Toothpaste sitting on the lips, especially in the middle. Make up. Excessive sweating. Sauna. Pools. Sunbathing/Tanning beds. Kissing. Vaping if possible. Citrus fruits, juices, spicy foods.
TOUCH UP:
If necessary, an appointment for a touch up procedure may be made within 3 months. No touch ups or additional tattooing can be done prior to 6 weeks.
