- Morning and evening clean your lip skin by dabbing gently a damp cotton pads or washing with dove soap. Dab dry and apply balm on your lips.
- Note to self: your selected colour will be stronger and brighter. During the first 4 days of healing you may experience swelling, bruising, tenderness, flaking of dry skin & mild itchiness.
DAY 3-5
- Light flaking/ peeling of the skin on the lips may begin during day 3-5. DO NOT PICK, PEEL OR RUB your lips. Allow skin to flake away by itself.
- After the dry skin has peeled away your lips will appear as if little to no colour is present, this is normal part of the healing process.
- In 3-4 weeks the colour will come back & blossom into a considerably softer version of the original colour.
- Keep in mind that after 1st session some unevenness of colour is to be expected. This is why we include a touch up to fine tune your lips.
