Lip Blush: How To Prepare & Aftercare

Aftercare Instructions

Following proper aftercare ensures long-lasting results:

  • Keep lips clean and dry for the first 24 hours
  • Apply the recommended ointment as needed to keep lips lightly moisturized
  • Avoid touching, picking, or peeling the lips
  • Avoid spicy, salty, or acidic foods for the first few days
  • Drink through a straw when possible
  • Avoid kissing, friction, and excessive moisture during healing
  • No workouts, sweating, or swimming for 5–7 days
  • Avoid direct sun exposure

The Healing Process

  1. Days 1–3: Color will appear more intense than expected
  2. Days 3–5: Lips may feel dry and begin to lightly flake
  3. Days 5–10: Color will soften and fade
  4. Weeks 2–6: Color gradually returns and settles into its true shade
  5. By 6–8 weeks: Lips are fully healed

Healing varies — allow the process to happen naturally.

Maintaining Your Results

Lip blush is semi-permanent and will fade over time.

  • A touch-up at 6–8 weeks is recommended to perfect the color
  • Keep lips hydrated daily
  • Use SPF on the lips to maintain color
  • Avoid frequent exfoliation or harsh treatments
  • Plan for a refresh every 1–2 years, depending on your lifestyle
