What is the best for tattoo aftercare?

2025-03-27

Learn the best tattoo aftercare practices with QM Makeup. Discover expert tips and product recommendations for optimal healing and minimizing scarring. 

1. Why Tattoo Aftercare Matters

Getting a tattoo is more than just an artistic expression—it’s a procedure that affects your skin. Proper aftercare is essential to speed up healing, prevent infections, and maintain the vibrancy of your tattoo.

If not cared for properly, a new tattoo can suffer from infections, uneven scabbing, fading, or even scarring. Choosing the right aftercare products helps lock in moisture, protect the skin barrier, and accelerate recovery.

 

2. Key Factors in Choosing Tattoo Aftercare Products

To ensure a smooth healing process, consider the following factors when selecting a tattoo aftercare product:

  • Moisturizing Ingredients—Look for aloe vera, shea butter, and vitamin E to keep the skin hydrated and promote repair.

  • Non-Irritating Formula—Avoid products with alcohol, artificial fragrances, or harsh chemicals that can cause irritation.

  • Breathability—Choose products that create a protective barrier without clogging pores, allowing the skin to breathe and heal naturally.

How do I make eyelash lift and tint at the same time?

3. Apply glue to the surface of the silicone perm rod, use a Y-shaped brush or a separate tool to stick the eyelashes on the silicone perm rod, and comb the eyelashes straight to ensure that the eyelashes do not overlap. After the glue dries and fixes the position of the eyelashes, proceed to the next step.

4. Apply the perm agent to the eyelashes to soften the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes.

Super numb
Which is better, numbing cream or numbing essence?

In terms of penetration speed, numbing essence penetrates the skin faster than numbing cream and takes effect faster, but it has higher requirements for the operator and needs to avoid the numbing liquid from flowing into the eyes. For new beginners and semi permanent eye makeup tattoo treatment, we recommend using numbing cream.
