Cosmetic AFTERCARE
For the best healing, always follow your artist’s aftercare instructions. They will personalize guidance based on your skin type and the service offered.
AFTERCARE
DOs
- Always wash hands thoroughly before touching the tattooed area.
- Clean by gently rinsing with lukewarm, fragrance-free, dye-free soap.
- Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Apply a very small amount of fragrance-free, dye-free lotion or Vitamin E if dryness occurs.
- Expect a “shiny” layer of healing skin after flaking, making the tattoo appear faint. In 1-2 weeks, the tattoo will reappear in a lighter shade.
DON'Ts
- Avoid antibacterial ointments, peroxide, and alcohol-based products.
- Don’t pick or scratch at dry skin—let it shed naturally to avoid scarring or pigment loss.
- Refrain from makeup, facials, and tweezing in the tattooed area for 2 weeks.
- Avoid hot tubs, swimming, steam rooms, and sweaty activities while healing.
- Avoid nose-blowing to prevent infection in lip procedures.
