Lip care after spraying includes cleaning lips, what to apply after spraying, handling post-spray conditions and choosing good lip care products. Everything is done scientifically under the guidance of doctors and tattoo experts.

How important is lip care after spraying?

After tattooing, the epidermis of the lips is damaged by the impact of the tattoo needle, creating very small open wounds when the tattoo ink is applied to the lips to create the desired lip color. Therefore, after tattooing, lips are very sensitive.

Not only do you have to choose a reputable tattoo location, but you also have to choose a skilled and highly qualified tattoo artist. In addition, lip care also needs special attention. Only in this way can you protect your lips from infection (blisters caused by herpes bacteria) or dark, uneven lips.

The 50% success rate of lip tattooing comes from proper post-operative care. Proper care will help your lips quickly recover to a more beautiful color. There are also factors such as technician skills, tattoo ink quality, outdated technology, etc.

How to clean lips after tattoo

After lip tattooing, you need to clean your lips to avoid infection, blistering, and discoloration that can affect your health and appearance. However, lip hygiene requires care, meticulousness and following the instructions of a doctor/tattoo expert. Special:

Clean your lips when they are not healed

When the lips have not healed, they need to be cleaned as follows:

Within 4-8 hours after spraying, yellow liquid often oozes from small wounds and accumulates on the lips. Wipe the liquid off your lips with a dry tissue to avoid infection.
During the first 3 days after spraying, limit contact with water when brushing your teeth and washing your face.
You should eat light liquid foods that can be sucked through a straw to avoid contact with the lip area.
If food gets in your mouth, clean it with a soft, dry cloth and rinse with salt water.

Hoa Anh shares how to clean lips when they are not healed:

Step 1: Prepare a soft and clean towel or cotton swab to wipe away tissue fluid secreted from the lips after tattooing. NOTE: Cotton towels must be very soft, the cottonier the better, to limit damage to the lips.
Step 2: Wet a cotton towel or cotton swab with warm water and wipe it on your lips several times. Warm water will stimulate the removal of dirt, help wounds heal quickly and help lips peel quickly.
Step 3: Use another clean cotton swab to check the moisture on your lips to keep them dry.

Clean your lips after healing

Once the wound has healed, you can clean your lips more easily. Do the following:

Step 1: Continue cleaning your lips with a cotton towel soaked in warm water. Be careful not to leave the cotton towel on your lips for too long.
Step 2: After cleaning your lips, apply Vaseline or a layer of vitamin A to help keep your lips from drying out after spraying. Lips are always hydrated, plump and more evenly colored.

Instructions on how to care for your lips after tattooing

In addition to lip hygiene, lip care after tattooing also greatly affects whether the lip color is standard or not. If not properly cared for, the skin can become infected, swollen and blistered.

How to care for newly sprayed lips

To have plump, hydrated lips and naturally beautiful lip color, you should follow the advice shared by tattoo expert Hoa Anh!

Drinking at least 2 liters of water a day will help hydrate and prevent dry, chapped lips. You should use a straw to ensure water does not stick to your lips.
If your lips are sore in the first 4-5 hours after spraying, apply ice to reduce pain and avoid swelling.
Moisturize your lips with a cotton ball soaked in skin care oil and remember to wash your hands thoroughly.
When brushing your teeth, you should apply a layer of Vaseline on your lips to avoid getting them wet, then use wet cotton to wipe clean.
If the tattooed lip area is damp, gently wipe it clean with a tissue.
If itching symptoms appear, do not pinch, press or apply force because the spray color may be uneven, the wound will be difficult to heal and may become infected, leaving unsightly scars.
Avoid wearing makeup near your lips for at least 3 days after getting a tattoo.
Avoid kissing and close contact because they are susceptible to infection.
Do not use additional lip augmentation methods until your lips are completely healed.
Do not wear lipstick for at least 1 week after lip injection.

Lip care after 30 days of tattooing

After about a month of lip injection and the lips have healed, our care regimen will be different from when the lips were first injected. as follows:

The first thing to remember is not to touch your lips. If you often touch your lips when the scabs have not yet fallen off and the color is not yet stable, bacteria can easily penetrate and lead to lip infection.
Remember to protect yourself from the sun and wear a mask when going out to avoid your lips from turning black again.
Minimize exposure to hot water and chlorinated water (commonly found in swimming pools). This helps keep the lips from fading or patchy and provides a more standard color. At the same time, you should not go swimming to avoid lip infection because the wound has not healed completely.
Try to minimize the use of acne medications like RetinA on lips that have only been sprayed for a month. Additionally, you should avoid cosmetic treatments such as microdermabrasion and peeling while your lips are recovering from treatment.

How to care for sprayed lips after peeling

Depending on the condition, the scab will fall off 3 to 7 days after lip injection. Some people have severe skin conditions and it can take up to 14 days for the scabs to completely fall off.

Even though the scabs have fallen off, this is also considered the time when the lips become sensitive and susceptible to infection. Therefore, we need a scientific care system after lip spraying, while promoting faster color development and helping the color come out standard and naturally.

Use natural lip balm that doesn't contain irritating ingredients to keep your lips moisturized, smooth, and soft.
Do not touch or lick your lips to avoid bruising again after peeling, slow healing and difficulty in color...
You need at least 2 liters of water a day to stabilize your body and promote better metabolism.
It is necessary to supplement foods containing vitamins A, C, E to create a protective layer for lip cells, preventing lip damage from external factors.
Avoid eating foods that are too dark in color such as soy sauce, coffee, black bean juice... to avoid easily dark lips and unsatisfactory color.
Avoid drinking wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages and stimulants to avoid affecting blood circulation.

What should I eat after lip tattooing to get beautiful color?

If you want your lips to have a standard, natural color after tattooing, you need to have a reasonable lip care plan, eat scientifically and avoid certain foods after tattooing. If you eat and drink carelessly, your lips can become bruised, blistered, pus-oozing, discolored... So what should you eat and what should you avoid to ensure your lips have the desired color?

Add these foods immediately after lip injections:

Pineapple: This fruit contains bromelain, an ingredient that helps wounds heal quickly while reducing swelling and pus.
Tomatoes: Lycopene found in tomatoes has powerful antioxidant effects and helps improve cells, making lips rosier and softer.
You should supplement foods containing vitamin C such as oranges, grapefruit, grapes, tangerines... These foods can help you strengthen your immune system and quickly prevent lip infections.
In addition to the foods you should supplement to make your lips more beautiful, you also need to "stay away" from the following foods to avoid causing ulcers and difficult-to-heal wounds.
Limit eating spicy and salty foods to avoid swollen and dry lips.
Avoid drinks that contain alcohol or caffeine such as wine, beer, coffee, carbonated soft drinks, etc.
