Minimizing moisture on the lip surface: The primary reason for low lip color retention is not necessarily the duration of the lip peeling process but rather the significant damage inflicted on the lip skin during the lip tattooing procedure. To ensure a thin lip peeling, the first step is to minimize moisture on the lip surface after the tattooing procedure. It is crucial to keep the lips dry for at least 4 hours.
After this initial period, a moistened cotton pad soaked in physiological saline solution or pure saline solution should be gently applied to the lips to remove any residual moisture from the lip skin. Following this, lip balm can be applied. It is important to note that the use of lip balm is essential to prevent sudden peeling and excessive thickness. Layering multiple lip balms should be avoided. Instead, after 3 hours, the lips should be cleansed, and lip balm should be reapplied once to minimize bacterial growth, which in turn promotes faster peeling.
By adhering to these measures, the lip peeling process will be extremely thin, occurring within 2 days, and the color retention rate will significantly increase. Please remember that these guidelines should be followed accurately to achieve the desired results. Consulting with a professional lip tattoo artist for specific instructions tailored to your situation is recommended.
