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.

Blade
How to use microblading needle? Is finest blade the best needles for microblading?
Choosing the thickness of a microblade depends largely on several factors, including the type of eyebrow tattoo, the level of detail required and the individual's tattooing skills. Here are some basic guidelines:
Type of eyebrow tattoo: Detail and line tattoos: finer lines and details can often be achieved with finer needles (e.g. 0.16mm or 0.18mm).
Filling and shading: slightly thicker needles (e.g. 0.20mm or 0.25mm) may be required for better color coverage and shading effects on the skin.
Individual tattooing techniques: Novice tattoo artists may tend to use thicker needles to minimize manipulation time on the skin, while experienced tattoo artists have the flexibility to choose needles of different thicknesses to achieve more varied results.
Skin type: The texture and thickness of different skins can also affect needle selection. Thicker skin may require a slightly thicker needle to ensure that the color and lines penetrate effectively.
Hair condition: The thickness of the client's native hair is also an important factor in choosing the thickness of the needles. Thicker hairs will require slightly thicker needles to ensure that the lines are consistent with the native hairs.
Nano paste
What is the difference between Super Numb Tattoo Cream and Nano Numb Cream For Tattoo?
Both super numb cream and nano numb cream can be used for tattoos, piercings or other beauty treatments. But they are suitable for different people. Super numb cream has a stronger effect. If you need a very strong super numb tattoo cream, we recommend you to use Super Numb Tattoo Cream. Nano Numb Cream is developed for people with sensitive skin. The formula is more gentle, anti-sensitive and anti-redness. If you need a comfortably numb tattoo cream specifically for sensitive skin, we recommend you to use nano numb cream.
