Aftercare
Heal it gently
Fine lines are delicate for the first few weeks. Look after them now and they’ll stay crisp for years.
01
Day 0
Keep the film on for as long as your artist says, usually two to four hours. Then wash gently with warm water and unscented soap, pat it dry and let it breathe.
02
Days 1–3
Wash twice a day with clean hands and apply a rice-grain amount of the balm we give you, just enough to take the shine off. Fine lines look soft now; that’s normal.
03
Week 2
Light flaking and itching are part of it. Don’t pick or scratch; tap it instead. No swimming, baths, saunas or direct sun until the skin has settled.
04
Month 1
The surface has healed and the ink has settled. Book your free touch-up if a line needs it, and use a high-factor sunscreen from now on.
