• Keep your lips hydrated
One of the most important things you can do to maintain your permanent lip enhancement results is to keep your lips hydrated. Dehydrated lips can become dry and cracked, which can cause your lip enhancement to fade faster. Drinking plenty of water and using a hydrating lip balm can help keep your lips soft and supple.
• Protect your lips from the sun
UV rays from the sun can damage your lips and cause your lip enhancement to fade. To protect your lips from the sun, apply a lip balm with SPF before heading outside. Wearing a hat or using an umbrella can also help shield your lips from the sun’s harmful rays.
• Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol
Smoking and drinking alcohol can dehydrate your lips and cause your lip enhancement to fade faster. In addition, smoking can cause your lips to become discolored and dry, which can affect the appearance of your lip enhancement. If you want to maintain the results of your lip enhancement, it’s best to avoid smoking and drinking alcohol.
• Avoid harsh skincare products
Using harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants and retinoids, around your lips can cause your lip enhancement to fade faster. These products can be drying and irritating to the skin around your lips, which can affect the appearance of your lip enhancement. If you need to use these types of products, be sure to avoid the lip area.
• Schedule touch-up appointments
Even with proper maintenance, your permanent lip enhancement may fade over time. Scheduling touch-up appointments with your technician can help you maintain your desired results. Your technician can evaluate the condition of your lips and determine if touch-up appointments are necessary.
