Brow tint often begins to fade around one week after application depending on your skincare routine, types of cleansers used and the skin’s natural oil secretion. If you want to diminish the intensity of the color prior to its natural fade time or remove excess color around the brow, apply a tint remover, like RefectoCil Tint Remover, with a cotton ball or pad. For best results, use tint remover as soon as possible after application. Other options to help lighten eyebrow tint include oil-based makeup remover, clarifying shampoo, and even a paste made from baking soda can help lighten eyebrow tint.
