Can You Get Brow Lamination If You Use Retinol?

Before brow lamination, your artist should assess more than the brow hairs. The skin underneath and around them matters too, especially when you use retinol, retinoids, exfoliating acids or other strong actives.

Why does skincare matter?

Brow lamination solutions are used on hairs that sit directly against facial skin. Skincare that increases sensitivity can change how suitable the area is for a chemical service or waxing.

Should I tell my artist about retinol?

Yes. Tell your artist what you use around the brows and when you last used it. Follow the salon's specific preparation requirements rather than hiding skincare use to keep an appointment.

What if the skin is already red or irritated?

Active redness, broken skin, significant dehydration or irritation should be assessed before treatment. Sometimes postponing the service is the right decision.

What about waxing?

Waxing also affects the skin, so the artist needs to consider the timing of both services and your current skincare routine.

At Lash Artisan Studio, brow lamination begins with the skin assessment, not the first solution.
