Active Skincare That Can Ruin Your Brow Retention

If you’re considering semi-permanent brows in Birmingham, whether that’s:

• Ombré Brows

• Combination Brows

• Microblading or Nano Brows

There’s something most clients don’t realise… Your skincare routine can directly impact your results. At Brow Ability Birmingham, we don’t just focus on creating beautiful brows - we focus on how they heal, last, and age over time.

💉 Why Skincare Affects Your Brow Results

All semi-permanent brow treatments work by implanting pigment into the skin. But your skin is constantly renewing itself. So anything that speeds this process up will:

• Fade pigment faster

• Affect colour retention

• Lead to patchy or uneven healed results

This applies to:

• Ombré Brow clients wanting soft, powdery definition

• Combination Brow clients blending strokes + shading

• Nano Brows / Microblading clients wanting realistic hairstrokes

Different technique - same skin behaviour.

⚠️ List of Active Ingredients That Can Ruin Your Brow Retention:

Retinol / Vitamin A

Retinol speeds up skin renewal - great for anti-ageing, not great for brows.

It can:

• Fade pigment quicker

• Blur hairstrokes (especially in nano brows & microblading)

• Affect healed colour

AHA’s & BHA’s (Exfoliating Acids)

These acids exfoliate the skin - which means they can:

• Lift pigment from the skin

• Reduce longevity of ombré shading

• Cause patchy fading in combination brows

Benzoyl Peroxide

Often used for acne, this ingredient can:

• Lighten pigment

• Interfere with healing

• Cause uneven results

Vitamin C (High Strength)

While beneficial for glow and brightness, strong formulas may:

• Slightly alter pigment tone

• Speed up fading over time

Before Your Semi-Permanent Brow Appointment in Birmingham

To get the best results from your treatment:

• Avoid active skincare around the brows 2 weeks before

• Keep skin hydrated and balanced

This is especially important for:

• Nano brows / microblading clients (precision strokes need stable skin)

• Ombré brows clients (smooth shading relies on even skin texture)
