Avoid touching or Rubbing the eyes immediately after treatment In the first 24 hours do not steam your face, use a steam bath, swim, use the sauna or sunbed, or wash your face with hot water as this can take the colour out
Use oil-free products (e.g make-up remover or mascara) around the eye area to prolong the colour

To keep your lashes and brows looking dark, return to the salon after 4 weeks to top up your tint
