Lip Scrub Pre-treatment:
Beginning 5-7 days before your appointment, mix the ingredients listed below and apply to your lips using a circular motion for 3-5 minutes. Repeat once per day for 5-7 days leading to your appointment. Applying the scrub reduces chapping and ensures your lips are well-hydrated, which is key for achieving a natural and balanced lip blush.

1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon olive or coconut oil

For clients with ANY history of cold sores/fever blisters/herpes, please contact your physician and request a prescription to prevent/treat breakout (typically Acyclovir or Valtrex). Take according to your physician's instructions (typically one day before, the day of, and the day after your appointment). Please note that Lip Blushing can only be performed 4 weeks after your most recent outbreak. The prescription does not guarantee the avoidance of an outbreak, but reduces the likelihood one occurs. All other questions or concerns should be discussed with your physician

Additional notes:
If you wear lipstick, please come in with pictures so we can get a feel for the shape and color you are accustomed to; we will still determine the perfect lips for you through measurements and color matching. Throughout the entire appointment, you will have every opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions. Before we begin the procedure, you will approve the final lip shape and color. We want you to be completely comfortable and happy the entire appointment!
You will receive all of the aftercare products and instructions to care for your new lips at your appointment!
