How to Care for

Your Moonlit Ink


Keep your jagua designs crisp, bold, and long-lasting with these simple steps.

2. Remove Tape Carefully After 3–4 Hours

  • Gently scrape off dried gel with the edge of a credit card or dry paper towel.

  • Do not use water to remove it—just brush it off dry.

  • You may see little to no stain right away. This is normal.

  1. Let the Gel Dry (Important!)

    • Don’t touch it! Jagua stains on contact.

    • Let the gel dry completely (at least 20–30 mins).

    • Avoid smudging, sweating, or rubbing the area.

3. Ink Darkens Over Time (Like Magic)

  • The stain will develop over 24–48 hours.

  • Avoid excessive water, sweat, and friction during that time.

  • No scrubbing, pools, or hot tubs for at least 2 days.

  • The final color will be a deep blue-black and can last 1–3 weeks.

4. Want It to Last Longer?

  • Keep the area moisturized with a natural balm or oil (we make one!)

  • Avoid exfoliating, shaving, or rubbing.

  • Apply our Aftercare Balm daily for max results 🌿

Bonus: You can grab a jar at your appointment or in our online shop.
