Sun Exposure and the Importance of SPF For Brow PMU


Sun exposure and the importance of SPF cannot be overstated, especially when it comes to your new brows.

The skin around your eyebrows tends to be more sensitive and thus more susceptible to sun damage than other areas of your face.

Overexposure to the sun can lead to fading and discoloration of your brow tattoo pigments, giving your brows an uneven or patchy appearance. Sunburn and skin damage can cause inflammation, itching, and redness in the area.

Incorporating a product with a sufficient Sun Protection Factor (SPF) into your daily skincare routine is crucial. SPF defends your skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays, mitigating any potential damage to your tattooed eyebrows. The number assigned to an SPF indicates the level of protection offered, with higher numbers providing more defense. For your tattooed eyebrows, I strongly recommend using an SPF of at least 30 to keep them looking fresh and fabulous for longer.

On top of an SPF-infused product, it's also wise to shield your brows from direct sun exposure as much as possible. Whether that's by opting for a wide-brimmed hat or seeking shade during peak sun hours, a little proactive protection can go a long way.

Taking these steps ensures that you're preserving the look and lifespan of your stunning cosmetic tattooed brows. So, let's cherish them by showing them a little extra sun-safe love!
