How to skincare after getting Tattoos

Introduction

When you get a tattoo, it can be difficult to care for your skin. You have to protect the area from sun exposure and make sure that the ink doesn't fade too quickly. However, there are several steps you can take when applying these products to your body after getting inked up:

1. Exfoliate

After tattooing, you should exfoliate a few times a week. You can use a gentle exfoliator like the one pictured above or you can use a loofah or washcloth.

You may also want to try using an all-natural body scrub made with sugar and salt that will help remove any dead skin cells on your body and make it look smoother. For example:

Salicylic Acid Scrub (3) by Dr. Bronner's

2. Moisturize

Moisturize 3-4 times a day, but don't use body lotion on the tattoo. The artist should have recommended a moisturizer for your specific skin type and needs.

If you're looking for an easy way to hydrate your skin after getting inked, try this homemade lotion recipe:

1/2 cup coconut oil (or olive oil or jojoba oil)

1/2 cup aloe vera gel or juice from 2 fresh aloe plants (about 5 oz)

3. Protect your skin from the sun

Sun protection is important for anyone who's going to be in the sun.

Use sunblock, wear a hat and sunglasses.

Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outside.

Avoid the sun between 10 a.m., when it's still bright but not quite as harsh, and 4 p.m., when it reaches its peak intensity (and starts getting dark). If you have tattoos on your face (which we'll get into later), this will help protect them from damage caused by UV rays over time--and if you don't have tattoos yet but plan on getting them soon, this will give you enough time to get used to wearing protective clothing while they're healing!

4. Don't spray body oil onto tattoos

Even though you might be tempted to use body oil on your tattoos, it's best to avoid it. Body oil can clog pores and cause infection in your tattoo. It also makes the ink fade faster, so if you want your tattoo to last longer (and who doesn't?), skip the body oil and pick up some good moisturizer instead!

5. Use pampering products on your body as well as face

You should also take care of your body as well as your face, because both require different types of products. Body lotions are great for tattoos because they moisturize the skin and help the tattoo heal better. They can also prevent infection in general, so it's important to use one with anti-bacterial properties that will keep your skin looking its best.

The best body lotion for use after getting a new tattoo is one that has been specifically formulated with moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera or shea butter to ensure an immediate effect on dryness while still keeping you hydrated throughout the day without feeling greasy at all!

Exfoliate, moisturize and protect from the sun, and use pampering products on the rest of your body as well as face!

Exfoliate:

Exfoliating will help remove dead skin cells from your face, which can cause irritation in sensitive areas like your forehead or chin. Use an exfoliating scrub once a day before washing off with warm water.

Moisturize:

Moisturizing is important not only for hydration but also because it prevents pigmentation caused by sun exposure when using a lotion after getting tatted up but before tanning (which isn't recommended). Choose an oil-free moisturizer that's non-comedogenic so it won't clog pores or cause breakouts on sensitive areas like elbows or knees!

Conclusion

If you're looking to care for your tattoos, here are some tips. The most important thing is to exfoliate and moisturize them regularly. You should also protect yourself from the sun by wearing sunscreen when you go outside. Don't spray body oil onto tattoos because it will just get all over your body and start attracting dirt particles that can cause infection over time! Lastly, don't forget about pampering products such as lotion or cream - they'll help keep your skin soft while keeping it away from more harmful chemicals like perfumes or hairspray which could irritate sensitive areas around those spots where ink sits on top of skin (like elbows).
