The Ultimate Guide For Lip Blush Pre-&-Post Care

Every woman desires to have velvety soft and pink lips naturally. However, the lip pigment makes it hard to achieve that natural pink lip look, but what’s the worry when you can get lip blushing done?

It’s one of the most innovative ways of achieving pink lips (yup, it’s a cosmetic procedure but incredibly safe). So, if you are ready to achieve stunning lips, it’s important to follow the correct pre/post care for lip blushing, and we have some details for you!

Pre-Care For Lip Blushing

Before you go in for the lip blushing treatment, you have to consider the following points:

  • Avoid exposure to the sun to prevent sweating, and make sure you don’t get tanning done because tan exfoliates after a few days, which means it can fade the color

  • Don’t work out on the day of the lip blushing treatment as it expands the pores

  • Don’t get any facial treatments done, including fillers, Botox, laser, and chemical peels

  • Avoid consumption of caffeine and alcohol to minimize swelling and oozing after the treatment

  • You must be off Accutane for at least one year

  • People with darker lips might have to go through multiple blushing sessions to achieve the desired color

  • In case of a cold sore, you must consume the cold sore medication that’s prescribed by the doctor because the lip blushing can trigger the cold sore virus

Post-Care For Lip Blushing

Once you are done with the lip blushing treatment, you have to be careful about the post-care to make sure the lip blushing stays for a long time.

After the treatment

Your lips might feel tight, tender, dry, and chapped. In addition, lips will appear brighter and swollen. For four hours after the treatment, you must use a clean paper towel to apply gentle pressure on the lips as it helps remove lymph. After four hours, you need to apply ointment to keep your lips moist. In fact, you mustn’t indulge in rubbing or kissing.

Day 1 To Day 3

You have to apply ointment multiple times a day as the lips must be moist at all times. It’s recommended that you avoid spicy, oily, and seasoned food and always drink with a straw. In addition, once you are done eating, you must clean and rinse the lips gently and pat them dry before you re-apply the ointment.

Day 4 To Day 7

During these days, the lips will start and stop peeling, and the blushing color will lighten by 30% to 50%. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t rub or pick the lips to make sure peeling is natural. Also, the lips must be moist.

Second Week

By the second week, the peeling process will be completed, and the color will be more natural. The lips will begin healing in over six weeks. With every week, more pigment will appear, and you’ve to keep keeping the lips moist to achieve the best color.

Sixth To Eighth Week

By the end of the 8th week, the lips will be healed, so just add some gloss on top, and you are ready to rock the world.

Keep in mind that during the first fourteen days of the treatment, you have to avoid excessive sweating, sports, swimming, Jacuzzi, hot bath, hot sauna, salon and sun tanning, and exposure to UVA and UV rays. In addition, you should always use a cotton swab to apply the ointment and don’t undergo chemical peelings and treatments. Last but not least, you mustn’t schedule deep cleaning because airborne debris can hinder the color development process.
