Patient's Query

Hello Doctor,

How do I completely remove eyebrow tint from my eyebrows that I just got professionally done? They are way too dark for my liking, and I would like them to be off and back to normal by tomorrow morning.

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It can be stressful when the eyebrows turn out darker than expected! If you are hoping to lighten them by tomorrow, there are a few safe, at-home methods that may help fade or remove the tint more quickly.

Start by washing your face multiple times using a gentle facial cleanser or a mild shampoo with warm water. Gently scrubbing your eyebrows can help lift the top layer of color. Oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, or baby oil can also break down the tint. Soak a cotton pad in the oil, gently massage it into your eyebrows for a few minutes, and then rinse. Alternatively, oil-based makeup removers, such as micellar water or an eye makeup remover, can be effective.

Exfoliation is another option. Use a gentle face scrub or a soft toothbrush to lightly exfoliate the skin beneath your eyebrows. This helps remove additional pigment but must be done gently to avoid irritation. Another method is to mix a small amount of baking soda with shampoo (or dish soap) to form a paste. Massage this mixture onto your brows for one to two minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Because this combination can be drying, it is important to apply a moisturizer afterward to prevent redness or irritation.

Be patient, eyebrow tint typically fades significantly within the first 24 hours. Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach, as they are unsafe for the delicate skin around the eyes. If any redness or irritation occurs, discontinue these methods and moisturize the area instead.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at iCliniq.

Thank you.
