Gentle Cleansing: Use a damp paper towel, and gently cleanse the area once a day. Avoid using abrasive cloths or scrubbing motions. Pat the area dry with a clean, soft towel when finished.
Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching, picking, or scratching your lips to avoid irritation and infection.
As a reminder, proper aftercare for lip blush and ombre tattoo procedures is crucial and will significantly impact the overall healing and longevity of your tattoo.
Apply Aftercare Ointment: Apply a thin layer of the aftercare ointment provided by your technician on the third night after your procedure. Use a clean, disposable applicator to prevent contamination. Avoid applying too much product, as this can suffocate the skin.

No Makeup: Avoid applying makeup or skincare products on or around the brows for at least two weeks to prevent irritation and infection.
