Det vankas sommar och efterlängtad semester. Before that, it's not entirely unusual to go to the salon to get your hair, lashes and brows fixed - all in order to go into the semester looking your freshest! And surely there are few things that beat the feeling after a visit to the salon?
Below we list 7 things you should think about so that your brows stay on fleek all summer long!
1. The 24 hour rule.
There are several things you should think about in the first 24 hours after fixing your brows. The most important thing is that you make sure to keep your brows completely dry for the first day. This means that you should not shower, wash your face or use an umbrella on a rainy day.
Also try sleeping on your back. When you sleep on your side, the pillow is often pressed against the eyebrows and this can lead to them ending up wrong. Hardest of all - Pilla inte! The oil from the fingertips can both spoil the result and create impurities in the form of pimples.
2. The dip will have to wait.
During summer, there are few things as nice as a cool dip, but please avoid bathing for a few days after fixing your brows. In this way, you can feel completely safe that they have had time to settle down properly.
3. Thread? Avoid this!
If you use strong skin care in the form of acids and retinol, it may be good to let those products rest on the shelf for a few days. After you thread, the hair follicles are still open 24 hours after the treatment, which makes them extra susceptible to infection. If you use strong skin care products in the area, the skin can react negatively in the form of pimples or inflamed hair follicles - in short, nothing you want to bring to the party this summer!
4. No scrubbing!
To achieve that real summer glow, it is good to scrub away dead skin cells continuously. However, be careful not to scrub directly on your eyebrows, then your fine result will disappear faster.
5. Brush brush brush.
Having a brow brush close at hand will help you keep that luxurious feeling from when your brows were newly done. Brush through them every day, and if they are extra strong, keratin oil or a little water can quickly solve the problem!
6. Think ahead!
Try to think strategically when booking an appointment to have your brows done. You would prefer not to have to sit on the edge of the pool in Spain to fix your brows right before the flight, but you also want to avoid that your return visit should take place in the middle of the semester when there are a thousand other things you want to focus on.
7. Use the right type of products.
In order for you to really maximize the time that your brows stay looking good, you should invest in the right type of products. They should help you to both maintain the appearance of your brows, but should also ensure that they are protected and strengthened. An eyebrow gel helps you maintain that fresh look all the way until it's time for your return visit.
