Have you just gotten a tattoo and want to use only natural treatments to help your skin heal?
Good news: it is possible. Many treasures from nature have the power to promote the healing of your tattoo effectively. But which ones? Let's take stock in this article.
Why choose natural care for healing your tattoo?
Choosing natural care for the healing of your tattoo is, above all, taking care of your skin gently. Indeed, most healing creams recommended in pharmacies contain chemical and/or synthetic products that are potentially irritating or allergenic.
These molecules are absorbed by the skin and redistributed in the body, which will therefore have to treat them as waste to be evacuated. By choosing exceptional natural care, you are not only doing good to your skin, but also to your body.
This is why natural products are often better tolerated by the skin, which is all the more crucial for freshly tattooed skin. By limiting the risk of allergies, you limit the risk of alteration of the tattoo. Finally, natural ingredients have soothing, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties , essential for good healing.
What natural products should be used to heal a tattoo?
To take care of your freshly tattooed skin, opt for products with an oily texture . The goal? To prevent any foreign body from coming into direct contact with the tattoo, whether it's your clothes, your hair, or dust.
For example, you can opt for cocoa butter or shea butter , which are gentle on the skin. We can also mention coconut oil, which has antimicrobial properties, or aloe vera, which is known for its healing and soothing properties.
Finally, natural ingredients like cocoa butter, shea butter and argan oil are rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids , which deeply nourish and hydrate the skin, promoting better healing.
Additional tips : Do not expose your new tattoo to the sun or swim until it has completely healed. Also, avoid intense physical exercise to avoid sweating around the tattooed area.
Why is it important to take care of your tattoo while it is healing?
The care given to the tattoo after its creation is an integral part of the process. Indeed, the final result will only be visible after complete healing (and possible touch-ups). By taking care of your tattoo from its healing phase, you put all the chances on your side so that it is as beautiful as possible.
Remember that tattooed skin is injured skin . If it is not properly cared for, it can become a gateway for bacteria… If this is the case, the ink can fade, become blurred or lose intensity.
Finally, by taking care of your tattoo naturally during healing , you increase your own comfort by limiting feelings of tightness, itching or burning.
Please note : take into account the advice and recommendations of your tattoo artist, who will give you valuable tips for keeping your tattoo as clean as the first day!
