It has also been found that petrolatum and mineral oil can pull fresh tattoo ink from the skin. Again, another reason to avoid products that contain petrolatum and or mineral oil ingredients. They can make your tattoos heal less vibrant than they could have. Now I know that many people have used Aquaphor over the years and will disagree, claiming that it has worked fine. Sure, it may have worked fine, however they are risks, both short term premature tattoo fading and long term, such as cancer or other endocrine disorders from the toxins.
Advancements in the skincare industry have greatly evolved over the past few years. There are several excellent all-natural tattoo aftercare products, formulated specifically for tattoo post-recovery and healing.
Consider choosing one instead of the baby's diaper rash ointment. Ok, now let's discuss Inked Ritual. We've had people ask us if Inked Ritual and Aquaphor are the same type of skincare product. And the answer is no, not at all. Inked Ritual is a Tattoo Care product formulated exclusively to enhance, restore and protect healed tattoos from fading.
This intensive skin rejuvenating serum, uses transdermal technology that penetrates and transports potent active ingredients deep into your tattooed skin. The purpose and function of Inked Ritual is to keep your skin healthy, by boosting collagen production while slowing skin aging.
Being a serum, Inked Ritual's molecular structure is lightweight, non-greasy and will not seal, suffocate or clog your skin's pores like Aquaphor. Another major difference between Inked Ritual and Aquaphor, is not just the advanced serum technology, but also the bio-active ingredients that Inked Ritual contains. Kuo and dermatologists all agree on one product to avoid: petroleum jelly like Vaseline. Kuo says it can trap moisture, dirt, and bacteria underneath itself, and is typically too thick, not allowing the tattoo to breathe.
The lightest option is an unscented lotion. Artificial fragrance is irritating to the skin, and is best avoided in topical products, especially when applied directly to healing wounds or sensitive areas. The best ones are all-natural, including ingredients like olive or coconut oil.
Kuo also likes butters as a thicker alternative to lotion after the 5 days of healing ointment. Tattoo balms and salves often have a wax-like quality to them, which makes it easy to apply a light layer to the skin. Always apply SPF over top your tattoo before going outside, and reapply frequently. High SPF is good idea, too—50 or above. He also says to consider a tattoo brightening balm. By Samuel Hine. Getting a tattoo means subjecting your skin to injury.
It will take about 3 or 4 weeks for your tattoo to fully heal. Moisture is key to ensuring your tattoo heals properly. After getting a tattoo , you want to prevent it from drying out. Dryness will cause excessive scabbing and itchiness, which can damage your new ink. Of course, you can use other unscented moisturizing ointments to care for your tattoo. Look for petrolatum and lanolin in the ingredients list. This can lead to poor healing and even infection.
Immediately after you get inked, your tattoo artist will apply a bandage or wrap to the tattooed area on your skin. They will likely advise you to keep that bandage or wrap in place for anywhere from several hours to several days. This is usually after several days to a week or so after you first received your tattoo.
Ointments like Aquaphor do a more heavy-duty job of moisturizing the skin than do lotions. Lotions are more spreadable and breathable than ointments. Aquaphor has the added benefit of anti-inflammatory effects, which can make the tattoo healing process speedier and more comfortable. During your aftercare routine, instead of adding ointment, apply a thin layer of lotion at least twice a day. However, you might need to apply lotion as much as up to four times a day to keep your healing tattoo hydrated.
Be sure to use unscented lotion.
