Wait for Some Time

But, make sure you use sunscreen on your eyebrows to avoid direct exposure to UV rays.
Use a sunscreen formulated for the face with SPF 35 or more. Before getting in a tanning bed take a small amount of sunscreen and apply it properly over your eyebrows.
Wear Sunglasses and a Hat
You need to take care of your microbladed eyebrows even after the tanning procedure to make them last longer without fading away.
Do remember to put on your sunglasses and hat before going out in the sun after your tanning session with microbladed eyebrows.
