Retinol is ruining your permanent make-up
Retinol & PMU: What You Need to Know
Retinol is a skincare powerhouse, known for its ability to speed up cell turnover, improve skin texture, and boost collagen production. But did you know it can also impact your permanent makeup?
If you’re using retinol or any vitamin A derivative, here’s what you need to consider:
🚫 Faster Fading: Retinol accelerates exfoliation, which means your PMU can fade much faster than expected.
🚫 Uneven Healing: Using retinol before your procedure can make your skin more sensitive, leading to poor pigment retention and patchy results.
🚫 Timing Matters: It’s best to discontinue retinol at least 4 weeks before your PMU treatment to allow your skin to heal properly.
🚫 Long-Term Care: If you love retinol, apply it carefully—avoiding the treated areas—to preserve your results for as long as possible.
