CeraVe Hydrating Lotion
Coconut, argan, and kukui nut oils combine in this hypoallergenic body lotion for soothing dry skin with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and soften. Plus, its scentless formula features niacinamide to reduce redness and inflammation! Once your tattoo healing process is over, it’s essential to keep it hydrated to avoid scabbing or premature peeling. Dermatologist Debra Jaliman suggests using this hydrating cream, which contains both ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which lock in moisture for maximum retention. When ready to apply the cream on your new tattoo, remove its bandage and gently wash with lukewarm water before applying a small amount to the area and rubbing until fully absorbed – Repeat twice daily to help the skin heal properly and avoid irritation or itching.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is one of the natural skin care products on the market and makes an excellent addition to tattoo aftercare products. Cocoa butter provides extra hydration that keeps Tattoos vibrant for longer. Cocoa butter contains capric, caprylic, and lauric fatty acids, which retain moisture in your skin and protect it from drying out. Furthermore, its antimicrobial properties help fight infections caused by microbes. Hustle Butter or another tattoo healing balm, such as cocoa butter, should be your first stop when beginning aftercare for your tattoo, but as soon as the ink begins to peel or flake off, cocoa butter may provide excellent comfort. Start slowly by massaging small amounts over the area until it feels comfortable on your skin – or risk irritation!
