Summer and Early Autumn: Your Fresh Permanent Makeup Protection Tips
Published by Lashious Studio, Saskatoon
Getting fresh permanent makeup changes your beauty routine, but summer and autumn weather can damage your new enhancement. Whether you've just had microblading, nano brows, or lip blush done at our studio, proper aftercare during these seasons determines how well your permanent makeup heals and how long it lasts.
Why Seasonal Protection Matters for Permanent Makeup
Your newly tattooed skin needs time to heal, making it extra sensitive to the sun and heat. Summer's UV rays and sweat-inducing heat can fade your color, create uneven healing, and cause scarring if you don't protect the area properly.
Summer Permanent Makeup Aftercare: Beat the Heat
Summer Tans are a No-Go for Permanent Makeup
When your skin is tanned the texture of it becomes more tough, making it more difficult for needle penetration during your procedure. The more difficult it is to get the pigment in your skin, the more irritation will be caused, resulting in suboptimal healed results. Waiting until your tan is mostly faded is the best course of action if you want your permanent makeup to heal the best it possibly can.
Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable
The biggest threat to your permanent makeup during summer is sun damage. Here's how to protect it:
For the first two weeks after your appointment, keep the treated area completely out of direct sunlight. This means wearing wide-brimmed hats, using clothing or accessories to shield your face, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak sun hours from 10 AM to 4 PM.
Once initial healing is complete after week three, you can start using broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Reapply every two hours when you're outside, and look for zinc oxide-based formulas that are gentler on newly healed skin. If you had work done around your eyes, quality sunglasses become your best friend.
Managing Summer Heat and Humidity
Saskatchewan summers can be unpredictable, and heat affects how your permanent makeup heals. Skip intense workouts, hot yoga, and saunas for the first 10-14 days to avoid excessive sweating. Stay hydrated to support your body's natural healing, and use air conditioning when possible. If you do perspire, pat gently with a clean, paper towel rather than wiping.
Swimming and Water Activities
Summer fun often involves water, but your healing permanent makeup needs protection. Stay out of swimming pools, hot tubs, lakes, and ocean water for at least two weeks after your appointment. When you do return to chlorine water activities between 2-4 weeks, rinse with fresh water immediately after swimming to remove chlorine or salt.
Autumn Permanent Makeup Care: Transitioning Seasons
Adapting to Temperature Changes
Autumn in Saskatoon brings cooler temperatures and lower humidity, which changes how your skin heals. You'll need to switch to a more hydrating aftercare routine as the air becomes drier. Apply your recommended healing balms more frequently as your skin may feel tighter. Don't forget that UV rays are still present even on cloudy autumn days, so make sure you’re still keeping them out of the sun for the first two weeks.
Preparing for Touch-Up Season
Autumn is an ideal time for permanent makeup touch-ups because:
Reduced sun exposure allows for optimal healing
Cooler weather means less sweating and heat exposure
Holiday season preparation timing
More consistent indoor temperatures support steady healing
Summer tans are faded and skin is more optimal for permanent makeup procedures
