Want to elevate your microblading results? Whether you’re a busy mum juggling multiple tasks, a retiree looking to refresh your look, or a cancer survivor embracing a new chapter, achieving flawless brows starts with the right prep. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through a simple, three-item DIY brow prep scrub that will help you achieve stunning microblading results. With just a few easily accessible ingredients, you can create a gentle yet effective scrub that not only exfoliates but also nourishes your skin. Let’s dive in and discover how a little self-care can lead to beautifully defined brows!
Why Exfoliating Before Microblading Matters
Over time, dead skin cells can build up across your brow area. If they’re not removed before tattooing, they can block pigment from depositing evenly—or make your brows fade faster.
Preparing your brows before microblading is crucial for optimum healing and pigment retention. A DIY brow prep scrub aids in achieving a smooth canvas, allowing the pigment to heal uniformly and last longer. This simple homemade scrub effectively exfoliates dry patches, promoting a clean and flawless healing process. Utilizing this scrub a few days prior to your appointment enhances the outcome of your microblading session. With basic ingredients from your kitchen, you can create this scrub in just a few minutes to ensure your brows heal beautifully.
A gentle exfoliation removes that top layer so your skin can better absorb the pigment. It also helps your technician work with a clearer surface, improving shape and detail.
DIY Brow Prep Scrub Recipe
What You’ll Need:
- 1 teaspoon fine white sugar or brown sugar (not coarse)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Half a teaspoon of either olive oil, jojoba oil or coconut oil
Instructions:
- Mix the sugar, honey, and oil together in a small bowl until it forms a paste.
- Apply a pea-sized amount to freshly cleansed skin.
- Gently massage the scrub over your brows in small circular motions for 30 seconds.
- Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
- Apply your favourite moisturizer.
Avoid scrubbing too hard to avoid scratching your skin before your eyebrow tattooing appointment.

- Use the scrub once per day, daily for 2–3 days before your microblading appointment.
-
- Do not exfoliate the day of your appointment.
-
