Microblading and oily skin? What to do before you go

Microblading is a cosmetic treatment that involves using a small blade to make tiny incisions in the skin and depositing pigment to create the appearance of fuller eyebrows. If you have oily skin, there are a few things you can do before your microblading appointment to ensure the best possible results:

1. Consult with your technician: It is important to discuss your skin type and concerns with your microblading technician before the appointment. They can recommend the best techniques and products to use during the treatment.
   
2. Stop using certain skincare products: Avoid using products that contain glycolic acid, retinol, or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) for at least a week before your microblading appointment. These products can increase skin sensitivity and interfere with the healing process.
   
3. Avoid caffeine and alcohol: It is recommended to avoid caffeine and alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment. These substances can increase blood flow and cause more bleeding during the treatment.
   
4. Avoid sun exposure: Try to avoid sun exposure for at least 48 hours before your microblading appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive and may not take the pigment as well.
   
5. Keep your skin clean and hydrated: It is important to keep your skin clean and hydrated before your appointment. Avoid using heavy moisturizers or oils on your face the day of the appointment.
   

By following these tips, you can help ensure the best possible results for your microblading treatment, even if you have oily skin. It's always best to consult with a qualified technician before the appointment to get personalized advice and recommendations based on your skin type and concerns.
