The Best Skin Prep Before Eyebrow Embroidery: Do This, Not That

Jun 17

Eyebrow embroidery is more than just pigment and strokes—it’s about skin readiness. Clients who come in with properly prepped skin almost always enjoy better pigment retention, smoother healing, and longer-lasting results.

Here’s how to set your skin up for success before your eyebrow embroidery appointment at The Brow & Beauty Boutique.

✅ What You Should Do Before Your Appointment

Prepping well ensures the pigment bonds better to the skin and reduces the risk of patchiness or early fading. Start your prep at least 3–5 days before your session:

Hydrate well: Drink plenty of water daily
Use a gentle exfoliant (like enzyme-based): Helps remove dead skin for smoother application
Apply fragrance-free moisturizers: Healthy, supple skin is the goal
Avoid active ingredients: Steer clear of AHAs, BHAs, and retinoids before the procedure

❌ What to Avoid Before Eyebrow Embroidery

To avoid complications or poor results, avoid the following in the week leading up to your session:

No alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before (can increase bleeding)
No facial treatments 5–7 days before
No tanning or sunburns
No waxing, threading, or tweezing brows (Let us do the shaping!)
