Effects of Eyebrow Embroidery on Different Skin Types

Eyebrow embroidery is all the rage these days, especially with ladies struggling to get that perfect brow. It’s an excellent way to achieve flawless, well-defined eyebrows effortlessly without having to spend your mornings drawing them on. But as with any beauty procedure, the result of your brow embroidery depends on various factors like your skin type and your body’s healing process. Here, we’ll look into how different types of skin react to the procedure and what you can do to ensure success.

Why Does Skin Type Matter?

Skin types are all unique, with their own level of oiliness, pigmentation, texture, and pore size. And these factors can play a big role in how your skin handles the pigments used in brow embroidery. For example, how each stroke turns out and how long they last. Understanding your skin type and how it affects your eyebrow embroidery result will help you pick the perfect solution for your fabulous self.

1. Oily Skin

Individuals with oily skin may find eyebrow embroidery a little challenging. Oily skin tends to produce excess sebum that can break down pigments more rapidly than dry or normal skins. This means you might need to schedule more touch-up sessions after your initial procedure to keep those brows looking their best. 

If your skin leans towards the oily side, we’ll recommend opting for misty eyebrow embroidery, or ombre brows, as well as realistic hair stroke brows as they can generally hold up much better and longer on oily skin as compared to microblading. 

Misty or ombre, and realistic hair stroke brows are achieved through close-wound techniques, making them gentler on the skin, while microblading is an open wound technique not suitable for oily and sensitive skin.

2. Dry Skin

Dry skin is one of the most ideal canvases for eyebrow embroidery. With smaller pores and less sebum production, dry skin doesn’t produce excess amounts of oil that can dilute pigments. This translates to longer lasting results. On top of that, dry skin also tends to recover faster and with less risk of inflammation. 

But, dry skin, if not managed properly, can cause flaking and affect how your embroidered brows look. So, it’s a good idea to keep your skin well-hydrated to prevent it from drying out too much. 

Both microblading, ombre brows, and realistic hair stroke techniques work well on dry skin and can be used to achieve natural-looking brows. 

3. Sensitive Skin

People with sensitive skin often react more strongly after a procedure, showing signs like redness, swelling and discomfort that can be more severe compared to other skin types. The healing phase can also be accompanied by light pain. 

Also due to the delicate and reactive nature of sensitive skin, they don’t hold onto pigments very well. You may need more touch-ups to maintain your desired brow shade. 

If you are prone to sensitivity, we recommend going for shading or powder techniques like ombre brows and realistic hair stroke rather than microblading. They tend to be gentler and less likely to cause irritation. 

4. Combination Skin 

Eyebrow embroidery on combination skin can be a little tricky because you may have both oily and dry patches of skin across the eyebrow area. This means that you may face issues with achieving an even pigment retention. The oily spots may cause fading while dry parts may hold on to colour better. Proper aftercare and skincare will be necessary to ensure uniform healing. Both microblading and ombre techniques can work on combination skin, but your choice should depend on the level of oiliness or dryness of your skin.

5. Normal Skin

If you’ve got normal skin, you’re in pretty good shape. Normal skin types sport healthy levels of oil and are not too dry. The skin surface is also usually smooth, with pores of just the right size for pigments to hold well and spread evenly. Both ombre and microblading techniques will work just fine on your skin.

Your skin type is the determining factor for how your brow embroidery turns out. Even two persons sharing the same skin type can experience different results and healing processes. Knowing how your skin handles pigments and procedures can help you make smarter choices for the best results. Next time, instead of choosing the eyebrow embroidery technique based on price, it’s time to make decisions based on your skin type.
