How to Prepare for Your Lip Blushing Service

Proper preparation helps your lip blushing appointment go smoothly and ensures the best, longest-lasting results. A few simple steps before your session make a big difference.

Hydrate and exfoliate.
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment, and gently exfoliate your lips with a soft scrub or toothbrush to remove any dry skin.

Keep lips moisturized.
Apply balm regularly in the week prior to your session to prevent dryness or cracking.

Avoid blood thinners.
For 48 hours before your appointment, skip alcohol, caffeine, aspirin, and fish oil supplements — these can increase bleeding and affect pigment retention.

No active cold sores.
If you’re prone to cold sores, take an antiviral medication (like Valtrex) a few days before and after your appointment — always consult your doctor first.

Arrive with clean, bare lips.
No makeup, gloss, or balm. Eat a light meal beforehand to stay comfortable throughout your session.

With hydrated, healthy lips and a little pre-appointment care, you’ll achieve smooth healing and beautifully even color that lasts.
