Microblading- you might have heard this term quite a lot in the cosmetic world. It is a type of cosmetic tattoo in which the technician draws hair-like lines on your eyebrows to make your eyebrows thicker and denser. A tool with tiny needles on the end is used to draw such hairs on your brows.  They make fine cuts and fill them with color. The color usually lasts about a year. All tattoos fade over time - it just happens faster with microblading. Microblading can be life-savior if you have thin eyebrows, but if you have thick natural eyebrows, it’s best not to tattoo your brows any denser.

Microblading is considered safe- and it’s true for most people. However, there is some risk associated with microblading.

Infection

If your technician uses dirty water or equipment, they can spread bacteria like staphylococcus (staph). They could also spread viruses like HIV, hepatitis, or herpes. Sometimes the ink is contaminated with bacteria or mold. There’s no guarantee it’s safe, even if the package is sealed.

Granulomas

Microblading injects a foreign substance into your skin. Your body may try to protect you by making inflammatory knots around the area. It may not happen right away. Granulomas sometimes happen months or years after the procedure. 

Keloids

These are scars that grow bigger than normal. They don’t usually happen on your face. But if you’ve had keloids before, you may get them from microblading.

MRI Problems

It’s not common, but tattooed skin can swell or burn if you get an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Your skin will go back to normal after the procedure. If you need one, be sure to tell your doctor or radiologist about the microblading.

Have you seen small born babies with dots of kajal on their foreheads or their eyes? Well, if you have then you sure know ‘KAJAL’ is more than just a mere cosmetic.

In many cultures, especially in India, kajal has been emerging as a cosmetic used daily to highlight and make our eyes look more attractive. Well, before this, kajal was an organic substance that was used because it carried various beneficial advantages for our eyes.

In ancient times, kajal was made from camphor, vegetable oil, and ghee. The use of such organically and naturally produced kajal therapeutically helps to keep our eyes moisturized. The extra layer of this product in our eyes prevents external impurities to enter inside our eyes. Rich in Vitamin E, a stroke of organic kajal acts like a massage to the muscles in our eyes, and hence relieves eyes from stress.

Ayurvedic kajal is best known to heal and relax irritated eyes. So, next time if you get small rashes or swollen eyes, get into the steps of making homemade kajal. Preparing a small amount of kajal that can last for days for a single person is not that a hectic task. Few home ingredients and you can prepare them at home. Therefore, you can see many newborn babies getting stokes (maybe a little more too) of kajal that is pure and organic.

Since kajal has emerged as cosmetics, it has become a commercial product. However, they cannot be considered natural or pure for your eyes. They are just ready-made and easy options to add extra emphasis to our eyes. If you look into the ingredients, you can easily see chemicals being used for its production which might make your skin dull rather than hydrating and rejuvenating it.

Therefore, next time you put your hands into a kajal in a cosmetic shop remember that you can make it at home too, and has way more health benefits and will not irritate your beautiful eyes.

STAY HEALTHY, STAY BEAUTIFUL!
