Oily Skin? Read This Before You Get Microblading
Oily skin requires special skin care, especially if you are interested in microblading. If you can see shine through your makeup, it indicates oily skin, and an experienced aesthetician will notice this aspect immediately. If you have a little less shine than you normally do, the artist may not notice, but you must discuss your skin type so that the aesthetician is aware as this can affect their work and the results they provide.
Microblading is cosmetic tattooing; the artist will place pigment underneath your skin. Oily skin requires special considerations, and the artist will tell you how this can affect the procedure. The pigment can fade a little faster for oily skin, and touch-ups will be necessary more often. The strokes can also expand a little more than on someone who doesn't have oily skin, and it will come down to the aesthetician’s discretion whether you are a suitable candidate for microblading.
What Should I Do If I Have Oily Skin?
Don’t worry! At Wake Up Without Makeup, the technique and products that we use have produced amazing results for all skin types. Although alternative techniques are commonly suggested for clients with oily skin, we believe that client’s with oily skin are also suitable candidates for microblading because of the results that we have seen in our studio.
Microblading that is maintained with refreshers every 1 -2 years will naturally create a long-lasting foundation for your eyebrow tattoo. This means that your eyebrows will appear fuller over time and will not fade as much with maintenance. The microbladed tattoo will naturally have a shaded result over time for clients with oily skin.
The benefit of Microblading over other permanent eyebrow procedures is the opportunity that microblading offers for achieving hair-strokes where they matter the most for the most natural looking eyebrows. Just because your skin is oily, it does not mean you cannot wake up with perfect eyebrows every day. Each client has their own brow struggles, and these are taken into consideration when designing the perfect brows for you. If microblading is your first choice, it is recommended to try microblading first. If you opt for another procedure and you do not love the outcome, this will impact your brows for the future ahead. If you try microblading and it fades too quickly for you, it is easy to try another type of eyebrow procedure as microblading is considered semi-permanent.
Tanya suggests using oil blotting papers during the healing process. This may help your tattoo heal better if you have extremely oily skin, and may result in crisp hair strokes regardless of your skin type.
