Why Skin Type Matters in PMU?
Your skin type plays a major role in:
- Pigment retention
- Healing time
- Longevity of results
- Technique selection
Oily Skin
Traits: Shiny appearance, enlarged pores, frequent breakouts.
How It Affects PMU:
- Pigment retention is often poor—oily skin pushes pigment out, causing fading.
- Blurring or migration may occur, making clean lines difficult.
- Healing can be slower and less predictable.
Best technique: Combination Brows, NanoShading/Powder brows/ombre brows as these techniques involve using a machine with micro needles which penetrate deeper and last longer on oily skin.
Dry Skin
Traits: Flaky, dull texture, prone to fine lines.
How It Affects PMU:
- Absorbs pigment well, but can result in patchy healing if the skin isn’t prepped.
- More sensitivity during and after the procedure.
- Flaking during healing may disturb pigment retention.
Best technique: Nano HairStrokes, Combination Brows paired with good hydration and strict aftercare.
Normal Skin
Traits: Balanced, smooth texture, small pores.
How It Affects PMU:
-
Ideal pigment retention and even healing.
-
Minimal touch-ups needed.
-
Very versatile with all techniques.
Best technique: NanoHairStrokes, NanoShading/Powder Brows, Combination Brows all yield excellent results.
Combination Skin
Traits: Oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dry/normal cheeks.
How It Affects PMU:
-
Inconsistent pigment retention—oily areas may fade, dry areas may absorb too much.
-
Uneven healing, requiring a careful approach
Best technique: Combination Brows as it will be a custom blend: NanoShading/Powder Brows on oily zones and NanoHairStrokes on drier areas.
