Getting your brows tattooed isnt just about technique and pigment qualityyour skin type plays a huge role in how long the pigment lasts. If you have oily or dry skin, your brows will fade differently. Lets break it down!
️Oily Skin: Faster Fading Due to Excess Oil
IF you have oily skin, you might notice your brow color fades faster due to: Excess oil production Sebum can break down the pigment, causing it to fade quicker.
Faster skin cell turnover Oily skin sheds cells faster, which means the pigment is removed more quickly. Sweat & large pores Sweat and oil make it harder for the pigment to settle and stay put.
Tips:
️ - Use blotting papers or oil-absorbing powder to control excess oil.
️ - Avoid AHA, BHA, and Retinol on your brows to prevent premature fading.
️ - Consider Powder Brows or Ombre Brows, as these techniques work better on oily skin.If
Dry Skin: Longer Retention but Risk of Dull Color
On the other hand, dry skin tends to hold pigment longer because: Slower skin cell turnover The pigment stays in place for an extended period. Less oil production Theres no excess oil to break down the color.
However, dry skin can sometimes oxidize the pigment, leading to darker or ashy tones over time.
Tips:
️- Keep your skin moisturized, but avoid heavy oils on your brows.
️- If you prefer a natural, hair-like look, opt for Hairstroke or Microblading, which suit dry skin best.
