Made-for-tattoo lotions contain ingredients that help speed up the healing process.
These products are infused with vitamins and nutrients that go deep into the skin and revitalises it from within. Naturally, this leads to healthy skin which, in turn, makes your new tattoo even more stunning to look at! So, in addition to all these special ingredients, what makes these lotions even more suited for new tattoos is that they usually do not contain common allergens and irritants.
This includes petrolatum, harsh chemicals and fragrances. Lastly, these special lotions are absorbed rather quickly into the skin. It minimises the itch and irritation that comes with a healing tattoo. All these special lotions are great, but I have to give the nod to After Inked. But when price and quality are considered, After Inked is the clear winner.
Depending on the brand, a ml bottle of regular lotion can cost no more than 10 to 15 quid. All 3 brands promise hour moisturisation and are fragrance-free. Also, the non-comedogenic label is always a plus in my book, because clogged pores and ugly bumps are the last thing you want in a healing tattoo! Now, let me just make this clear, not all baby lotions automatically qualify for tattoo aftercare use. You still need to make sure it has none of the usual suspects — irritants and allergens — that can adversely affect your healing tattoo.
And that reason is enough to give Aveeno an edge in this category. Here are our favourite non-lotion products you can use on your tattoos:. Even specialist ointments for conditions such as eczema can often be used safely. If looking for a moisturizing lotion in a supermarket or online, make sure it contains primarily natural products, and contains no artificial color, scents or preservatives, as these very often cause irritation to a new tattoo.
Most popular skincare brands sell products for sensitive skin that clearly state on the labeling that they color and scent free. Other, more specialized products such as Aquaphor and Vanicream moisturizing ointment are also often recommended. This means they can be great to use on a tattoo during the initial and most important healing phases. However, although completely natural, these products can still cause irritation to a tattoo depending on skin type and sensitivity, so just keep an eye on the area during the first couple of days of use.
As a new tattoo begins to heal, it is initially very damaged and is essentially just a large open wound. If you want to be certain your lotion choice is completely all-natural, consider reaching for pure coconut oil. If you decide to go with coconut oil, make sure you use a clean utensil or wear gloves when applying to avoid exposing your ink to any potentially harmful bacteria. This convenient tattoo healing stick is great for healing fresh tattoos and preserving your older ones.
Pop it in your bag to apply it on the go, just make sure you clean any healing tattoos first. Consider this healing balm the ultimate multitasker. It can be used to heal and soothe dry skin and lips, eczema rashes, and burns and scrapes, and also makes a great quick fix for taming flyaways and unruly eyebrows.
Harper recommends looking for tattoo aftercare products with naturally-derived ingredients. When it comes to how your aftercare product is packaged, Olive recommends reaching for products that come with a dispenser or, alternatively, a squeezable tube.
Some of the aftercare products on this list do contain some fragrance, but both Olive and Harper recommend avoiding fragrance if possible, especially if the tattoo is extremely fresh or if your skin is on the sensitive side.
