Reasons Why Permanent Makeup Doesn’t Last Long

Several factors can affect the longevity of permanent makeup. Here are some common reasons why permanent makeup may not last as long as expected:

1. Skin Type

Oily skin tends to break down pigments faster than dry or normal skin. The excess oil production causes the pigments to fade more quickly, often requiring more frequent touch-ups.

2. Sun Exposure

Frequent exposure to sunlight or UV rays can cause permanent makeup to fade faster. UV rays break down the pigments in the skin, causing them to lose their vibrancy.

3. Improper Aftercare

Not following the recommended aftercare instructions can impact the results and longevity. Skipping steps like avoiding water, makeup, and direct sun exposure during the healing process can lead to pigment loss and faster fading.

4. Use of Skincare Products

Certain skincare products, especially those containing acids like glycolic acid, retinol, or chemical exfoliants, can affect the pigments in the skin. Over time, these products can break down the pigments, leading to faster fading.

5. Poor Pigment Quality

Using low-quality pigments can cause the color to fade more quickly or change over time. High-quality pigments are more stable and fade gradually, while lower-quality pigments can lose vibrancy faster.

6. Shallow Application

If the pigments are implanted too shallowly into the skin, they may not last as long. Skilled technicians ensure that pigments are placed at the correct depth for longer-lasting results.

7. Lifestyle Factors

Regular activities like swimming, sauna sessions, and sweating can affect the durability of permanent makeup. Chlorine, saltwater, and heat can all speed up the fading process.

8. Body’s Immune Response

Each person’s immune system reacts differently to the pigments. In some cases, the body may attempt to break down and remove the pigments faster, leading to quicker fading.

9. Age of the Skin

Younger skin regenerates more quickly, which can cause the pigments to fade faster as new skin cells replace older ones. Older skin tends to retain pigments longer due to a slower regeneration process.

10. Touch-Up Frequency

Permanent makeup requires regular touch-ups to maintain its vibrancy and shape. Skipping or delaying touch-up sessions can result in faster fading and a less defined appearance.
