Aftercare for tattoo areas doesn’t end once the eyebrows or lip liner has healed after a micropigmentation procedure. Ensuring that colours don’t fade or flake away requires regular post cosmetic tattooing moisturising, and the skin care product you may have used prior to the procedure, may not be rich enough afterwards.
The best skincare products for your newly tattooed areas, especially lips, eyebrows and delicate places that may have been part of a post-surgical camouflage procedure (on areolas or facial scars) are moisture intense balms that contain oil extracts, aloe and hydrating ingredients your skin may not have required previously. But don’t spend a fortune on beauty products when some of the best ones are really affordable.
Marks and Spencer online shops have a collection of reasonably priced beauty products called Nature’s Extracts, which can be used liberally after permanent cosmetics procedures (on eyebrows, lips and areola, but not around the eyes). The body butters and balms, sold in 200ml containers, come in Fresh Aloe Vera, Fruity Peach & Almond, Blissful Strawberry, Fig & Orange Oil, Tropical Mango and Sparkling Lemon Verbena. They contain cocoa butter and natural oil extracts, but no alcohol, so they’re good for post micropigmentation moisturising and long-term cosmetic tattoo aftercare.
The same beauty and skin care shop has a fun set of 3 lip balms that come is Mango, Vanilla and Strawberry, ideal for lip tattoo aftercare. Remember: just because you no longer need lipstick or liner, doesn’t mean you can forget about moisturising. The best way to keep lips soft after a cosmetic tattoo procedure is with lip balm that also gives a healthy bit of natural-looking shine.
