Having the fuller lips you’ve always dreamed of but facing its immediate effects is unavoidable. The immediate results of lip blushing might look more like a lip stain than your requested shade. Accompanied by swelling and scabbing, this could mislead you into thinking that something went wrong. These effects, however, are normal and to be expected right after the lip tinting process. To make your semi permanent lip tattoo experience less daunting, here are some things to keep in mind during the healing process.

VIBRANT COLOR AND SWELLING ARE NORMAL.

Although not as harsh as traditional lip tattooing, minimal swelling may still occur. This intensity only lasts for a few days as the color fades into the natural-looking shade you first wanted. By four weeks, the lips should be fully healed, revealing the natural blush tone of your semi permanent lipstick.

LET IT HEAL NATURALLY.

Scabbing may leave you itching to remove the flakes yourself, but it is discouraged to avoid scars getting left behind. Let the scabs fall off naturally to keep the proper pigment. If you’re worried about dried out lips use your recommended lip aftercare and stay hydrated. Your lips and the rest of your body will thank you!

AVOID CERTAIN FOODS.

Hot, spicy, and salty foods may irritate the sensitive skin on your lips after the lip blushing procedure and worsen the swelling. Replace these with mild foods and refreshing drinks instead.

LEAVE YOUR LIPS ALONE.

The more you do something to “help” with healing, the greater chance you may disrupt the process. In the meantime, avoid exposing yourself under the sun, teeth whitening, getting lip fillers, smoking, or even applying products on your lips. You’ll have all the time to get creative with your luscious lips once they are healed.
