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.

Nano cream
Can Nano Numb Cream For Tattoo be used on the lips?
Yes, nano numb cream can be used on the lips.
Micro Blade
What size needle for microblading eyebrows? U-curved needle or a slope needle?
Slope Needle: The tip of a tilting needle usually presents a beveled angle. This shape is suitable for detailed line and contour work and is commonly used for contour and fine areas of tattoos, but may require some skill to ensure smoothness and consistency of the line.
U-curved Needle: U-curved needles have a U-curved tip and usually consist of multiple needles. The U-curved needle design distributes ink more evenly across the skin. It is more suitable for color filling and shading effects and gradient effects on large areas, and can cover a larger area in a short period of time. However, you need to control the pressure and speed to avoid uneven color.
To summarize, the choice of needle depends mainly on the design of the eyebrows semi permanent makeup and the desired effect.
Do your microblades contain nickel?
Our flex microblading needle are made of 304 stainless steel, which does contain traces of nickel. The addition of nickel can can enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel and increase its toughness and strength, ensuring that the material will perform consistently in a variety of environments. Since the microblades are only implanted through the skin, there is no adverse reaction to the skin under normal circumstances. If you are concerned about this, a patch test can be performed prior to the procedure.
Payment
What is your order deposit policy?
Normally, we advocate 100% prepayment to ensure transaction efficiency and the interests of both parties. However, in response to your concerns during the transaction, we also provide a flexible deposit payment policy with a deposit ratio between 30% and 50%. Specifically, for standard goods orders, the deposit ratio is 30%; for customized orders, the deposit ratio is 50% to ensure the smooth progress of the customization process and the balance of interests of both parties.
