The benefits of tattoo sunscreen sticks
Tattoo sunscreen sticks offer an easy and efficient way to safeguard your ink from UV rays without altering its color and shine. These lotions are formulated with high-quality ingredients that protect your tattoo while maintaining its vibrant colors and brightness.
Using sunscreen to protect your tattoos
Applying sunscreen with an SPF 30 rating or more excellent provides full coverage and prevents your tattoo from showing through. Mineral-based sunscreens, like those containing titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, create a physical barrier against UV rays without chemical absorption. Look for tattoo-specific sunscreens that leave no white residue on the skin.
Hydration and tattoo aftercare
Hydrating your tattooed skin is essential for maintaining its health and preventing fading. Use lotions designed explicitly for tattoo hydration, such as Cetaphil or Lubriderm.
Choosing the right sunscreen
Selecting a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with at least 30-50 SPF protects your tattoo. Remember to reapply sunscreen every 80 minutes, especially when swimming or rubbing your tattoo. La Roche-Posay offers an oil-free tattoo sunscreen stick that absorbs quickly and provides a matte finish for easy coverage.
