Why does Permanent Makeup fade over time?
A variety of factors influence the longevity of Permanent Cosmetics. Ultra-violet exposure from sun or tanning booths, various drugs and excessively dry skin are all factors that may affect permanent cosmetics. Alpha- hydroxy, Retin-A and glycolic acid like fruit acids, which are commonly found in some toners, cleansers and moisturizers (please read the labels) must be kept away from treated areas. These substances slough away top layers of the skin and eventually the layer of skin that the pigment has been implanted into.
