Permanent make-up is ideal for a holiday in the sun. You protect your skin from the bright sun and ensure the longevity of your permanent makeup, such as your eyeliner and eyebrows.
You skip the search for a waterproof eyebrow pencil, because you have permanent makeup. However, what you do always have with you is SPF 50 protective cream. The sun fades and discolors your permanent makeup if you do not protect yourself properly. With the following tips, you will know how to prevent this.
Apply, apply, apply—I cannot repeat it often enough! UV radiation from the sun accelerates cell division in your skin, causing pigment to break down sooner. As a result, your permanent makeup fades. A week of baking in the sun can have disastrous consequences.
“I regularly have holidaymakers come straight back to my practice when they return home,” Janny says. “That is unnecessary. Poor protection has caused the permanent eyeliner or eyebrow to discolour and fade earlier than necessary. That is why I can’t say it often enough: always keep applying sunscreen. That way your permanent make-up will stay beautiful for longer.”
Ideally, use SPF 50 and at least SPF 30 for your permanent makeup. On light skin, black permanent make-up can turn blue. And eyebrows will become duller or salmon-coloured instead of (light) brown.
You unknowingly pick up a lot of UV radiation during a hike in the mountains or a day strolling through a city. A hat is pleasant to wear in such situations. It is not only a nice accessory but also provides protection for your face. Choose three different models so that you always have one that matches your outfit. Place them in a prominent spot in your holiday home or hotel room so you never forget them.
For many people, a beauty treatment is a way to relax, even while on holiday. The acids often contained in products and used during a treatment accelerate the skin renewal process, which causes permanent make-up to fade.
Can’t resist a beauty treatment? Ask the beautician to take your permanent make-up into account by working around it
Schedule your treatment on time, at least nine days before you go on holiday. This gives your skin enough time to recover. That way you will look at your best this summer and you don’t have to worry about smudged make-up after a dip in the sea. Permanent make-up enhances your happiness.
