What Lotion is Best for Tattoo Aftercare? A Guide for PMU Artists
Choosing the right lotion for semi-permanent makeup aftercare is crucial for optimal healing and client satisfaction. Many lotions on the market claim to be suitable, but not all are created equal. This article clarifies which lotions are best and why, helping you provide the highest standard of care.
Understanding the Needs of Healing Skin
Immediately after a semi-permanent makeup procedure (like microblading or lip blushing), the skin is vulnerable. It needs a lotion that's:
* Hydrating: Dryness can lead to scabbing and impaired pigment retention.
* Unscented: Fragrances can irritate sensitive skin.
* Non-comedogenic: It shouldn't clog pores, which can hinder healing.
* Gentle: Harsh chemicals can cause inflammation and adverse reactions.
Recommended Lotion Types for PMU Aftercare
We generally recommend fragrance-free, unscented lotions containing simple, natural ingredients. Look for lotions that prominently feature:
* Aloe vera: Known for its soothing and healing properties.
* Hyaluronic acid: A potent humectant that attracts and retains moisture.
* Vitamin E: An antioxidant that supports skin repair.
Avoid lotions with added colors, preservatives (parabens), or alcohols, which can dry out the skin and interfere with the healing process.
What to Avoid
Certain ingredients can negatively impact the healing of semi-permanent makeup:
* Petroleum-based products: These can trap moisture and impede healing.
* Fragrant lotions: These can cause irritation and allergic reactions.
* Lotions with harsh chemicals: These can damage the delicate skin.
Always advise your clients to avoid harsh scrubs, exfoliants, and sun exposure during the healing period.
Client Communication is Key
Clearly communicating aftercare instructions, including the recommended lotion type and application method, is paramount. Provide your clients with a written aftercare guide and address any questions or concerns they may have. Using a consistent, high-quality aftercare routine contributes significantly to the longevity and vibrancy of their semi-permanent makeup.

Eyelash lifting
If I apply perming lotion after using glue balm, will it cause the eyelashes to fall off the silicone perm rod?
Our glue balm have two formulas, regular formula and anti-falling formula. If you are used to using plastic wrap or covering strips during lash lifting, you can choose one of them; if you don’t use them during lash lifting, we recommend that you choose the anti-falling formula to ensure that after you use the perming lotion, the liquid in the perming lotion will not dissolve the glue balm, thus achieving the anti-falling effect.

What size of microblading pen should I choose?
Currently, the more popular thicknesses are 0.16mm and 0.18mm; the popular sizes are 16U, 18U, and 18P. How to choose a microblading brow tools that suits you can refer to the advice on choosing a best microblading blade to use, which depends largely on several factors, including the type of eyebrow tattoo, the degree of detail required, and personal tattooing skills. Here are some basic guidelines:
Type of eyebrow tattoo: Detail and line tattoo: Finer lines and details can usually be achieved with finer needles (such as 0.16mm or 0.18mm).
Filling and shading: Slightly thicker needles (such as 0.20mm or 0.25mm) may be required to achieve better color coverage and shading effects on the skin.
Personal tattooing technique: Novice tattoo artists may tend to use thicker needles to minimize the operation time on the skin, while experienced tattoo artists have the flexibility to choose needles of different thicknesses to achieve more diverse effects.
Skin type: The texture and thickness of different skin will also affect the choice of needles. Thicker skin may require slightly thicker needles to ensure color and lines penetrate effectively.
Hair Condition: The thickness of your client’s natural hair is also an important factor in choosing needle thickness. Thicker hair requires slightly thicker needles to ensure lines are consistent with the natural hair.
