Freshly tinted eyebrows add depth, structure, and expression to the face — especially in summer when makeup is kept light. But sun, heat, sweat, and water can shorten the lifespan of the color. At MONLIS Studio in Munich, our experts know exactly how to protect tinted brows during the warmer months.
In this article, we share our top advice for preserving brow color and preventing fading throughout the summer.
Why Does Brow Color Fade Faster in Summer?
UV exposure, sweat, chlorinated water, and contact with facial cleansers all break down color pigments. As a result, brows can lose vibrancy, look dull or patchy. This is especially noticeable on lighter hair or with high-contrast color shades.
That’s why tinted brows need special care in summer — starting immediately after the treatment and continuing in the following weeks.
Right After Tinting: Key Precautions
After a professional tinting at MONLIS Studio, we recommend:
Keep brows dry for 24 hours
The pigment needs time to set. Moisture from water, steam, or sweat may interfere with this process.Avoid direct sun or tanning beds the same day
UV light can destabilize color molecules and lead to premature fading.Avoid oil-based skincare near the brows
Oils can dissolve pigment and reduce the tint’s longevity.
How to Protect Your Brows During Summer
1. Sun Protection Is Essential
Brows need UV protection just like skin. Use facial sunscreen or clear brow gels with SPF to shield pigments while nourishing the hair.
2. Use Water-Based Products
Choose lightweight, non-oily gels or serums that won't break down the tint. Oil-free products keep color locked in longer.
3. Protect Against Chlorine and Salt Water
Before swimming, apply a thin layer of Vaseline or brow wax to create a barrier. This prevents pigment loss from pool or sea water.
4. Nourish with Brow Oil or Serum
A conditioning serum keeps hairs soft and helps color stay vibrant. MONLIS recommends applying a brow oil two to three times a week.

When Should You Get a Touch-Up?
