Fading Fast? Golden Guide To Make Semi-Permanent Makeup Last Longer
Why does semi-permanent makeup fade over time?
This happens because of a multitude of reasons, but mainly due to your bodily composition and pigment breakdown. A few reasons for it are
- Skin regeneration gradually removes the pigment and leads to fading.
- Skin type can affect this majorly, like oily skin; tattoos seem to fade faster.
- Lifestyle majorly impacts this; for instance, smoking, drinking, skincare, eating habits, and whatever you do in everyday life that has a direct or indirect impact on your immune system.
Well, whatever it may be, there is good news! We are here. Let’s get into maintaining your semi-permanent makeup as long as possible.
Tip #1: Follow Aftercare like a Cult
- The technician you opt for will provide you with some basic aftercare tips that you must follow no matter what for faster healing and best results.
- These tips could essentially be
- Keep the area clean and dry for a few days; only clean with water and pat dry.
- Use a gentle and fragrance free moisturiser.
- No makeup, intense workouts, or exposure to heat.
- Avoid touching, scratching or picking the affected area.
Following these can greatly help you out in avoiding any infection and improving the condition of the makeup.
Tip #2: Hide from the Sun
- The general advice everyone will give after any cosmetic tattooing or general tattooing, removal or new inking, no matter what, will be to avoid exposure to the sun. The radiation of UV rays can be extremely harmful to the healing process of the skin, as right after the treatment, the skin is extremely sensitive.
- Exposure to the sun can irritate the skin and may have some pigmentation issues as well. If you do need to go out during those first few days of healing, apply SPF 50 sunscreen or cover the area.
Tip #3: Whatโs Your Skincare?
- If your regular skincare incorporates the use of acid-based, retinol-infused solutions and exfoliants, it is best you do not apply them for the time being .
- Harsh skincare products can break down the pigment particles faster, causing the semi-permanent makeup to fade faster.
Tip #4: Some Day or Two Bans
- There are a few things that you should avoid after getting your cosmetic tattoos to make the semi-permanent makeup last longer. These bans are:
- No alcohol for 48 hours before and after the treatment. This is because it thins the blood. Besides, is one drink worth that much time and effort that went into your beauty?
- Caffeine intake is banned for 24 hours; this again is blood-thinning. We get it; your morning coffee makes you less grumpy, but beauty comes with its challenges.
- Try to avoid smoking for a while. And let’s be real, not just for the treatment, but in general, is tobacco really worth all that?
- Avoid intense workouts for a while, as excessive sweating immediately after the process can stop the pigment from settling within the epidermis.
Tip #5: Meds? Be Aware of The Impact
- The procedure for semi-permanent makeup involves a tiny needle getting into your epidermis. So, naturally, there is a little blood here and there.
- We request you do NOT take blood-thinning meds at least 48 hours before the treatment, such as aspirin, as that will make you bleed excessively, pushing out the pigment and not letting the pigment settle well into the epidermis. This can make the makeup fade prematurely. If you are on prescription medication, always follow the advice of your Doctor. Your health comes first.

Semi-permanent makeup lasts for about 3-4 years, depending on multiple factors, like your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you take care of your cosmetic tattoos. Regular touch-ups and good skincare are required to maintain the look.
Does it matter what skin type I have when it comes to semi-permanent makeup maintenance?
Yes, your skin type plays a major role in your semi-permanent makeup maintenance. Oily skin sees fading a lot faster in comparison to dry or normal skin. Have a skin-type-specific skincare routine to maintain these longer.
