Days 2-5: Wash once a day at night
Wash once daily to remove bacteria, build up of product and oils, and dead skin. (Don’t worry, THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!)

Rub the area in a smooth motion for 5 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean paper towel.
Make sure your brows are completely dry before you apply the ointment.
DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.
Days 2-14 Moisturize
Starting on day 2, apply a rice grain (or smaller) amount of antibiotic aftercare ointment and spread it across the treated area, If you have oily skin, apply it once at night. If you have dry skin, apply once in morning and once at night. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin.
NEVER put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.

-Avoid getting brows wet and avoid working out and swimming. NO SWEATING!
-Do not pick or scratch your brows at all during healing process.
