Microblading Oily Skin
Can you have microblading if you have oily skin?
You can safely have microblading if you have oily skin. However, the longevity of the wear and the definition of the strokes may not be as good as someone that doesn’t have oily skin. This could be due to fact that oily skin tends to be thicker. Therefore, you may not be able to see the definition of the strokes through all of the layers. As far as the longevity, oily skin tends to be more porous. This may lead to more oil excretion from the hair follicle onto the skin.
Controlling Oily Skin in Preparation for Microblading
If you tend to have very oily, acne-prone skin, and/or congested skin, a good way to prepare your skin for the treatment would be with the use of salicylic acid. Use a proper cleanser and moisturizer in your skin care routine that will balance the skin’s ph. This will result in your skin under control not only before the microblading, but will help it stay under control.
If you are using products that contain acids or other strong enzymatic exfoliants, stop using them anywhere from 2 days to 2weeks (depending on the potency). Plus, avoid using these types of products for 2 weeks after your microblading appointment.
How can I grow my eyebrows if I have oily skin?
If you are looking to grow your brows naturally, any form of exfoliation helps to stimulate the skin. In turn, this can help promote healthy hair growth. If you use a physical exfoliant for your face, you can use this on your eyebrows using a circular motion. Make sure you properly remove the exfoliant.
You can also try using a growth serum to grow your eyebrows if you have oily skin. In order to avoid clogging any follicles in the brow area, make sure you are properly removing makeup at the end of the day on and around the brow area. Clogged follicles will impede the hair growth.
Peace, Love, and Great Skin!
