Preparation for Brow Tinting
Preparation involves cleansing the brow area with RefectoCil Micellar Eye Make-up Remover or Brow & Lash Foam to remove makeup and oils. Protect the skin with RefectoCil Silicone Pads or Skin Protection Cream to prevent staining.
2.1. Cleansing the Brow Area
Cleansing the brow area is essential for effective tinting. Use RefectoCil Micellar Eye Make-up Remover or Brow & Lash Foam to remove makeup‚ oils‚ and impurities. This ensures the tint adheres evenly and prevents uneven color. Gently wipe the area with a clean cotton pad‚ focusing on the brow hairs and surrounding skin. Avoid harsh products that could strip natural oils‚ as this might irritate the skin. Proper cleansing ensures optimal results and helps prevent patchy tint application‚ making the process safer and more effective. This step is crucial before proceeding to protect the skin and mix the tint.
2.2. Protecting the Skin
Protecting the skin around the brow area is crucial to avoid irritation or staining. Use RefectoCil Silicone Pads or Skin Protection Cream to create a barrier between the skin and the tint.

These products help shield the skin while allowing the tint to adhere evenly to the hair. Proper protection ensures a safe and clean application‚ preventing unwanted color transfer to the skin. This step is vital for achieving professional results and maintaining client comfort during the tinting process.
Mixing the Tint
To achieve the desired results‚ mix 2 cm of RefectoCil Eyebrow Tint with 10 drops of RefectoCil Oxidant Liquid or 15-20 drops of RefectoCil Oxidant Cream in a glass dish. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it forms a smooth‚ consistent paste. The ratio ensures proper activation of the tint‚ allowing it to adhere effectively to the brow hairs.
