When and How to Use It

When to use it

Let a new tattoo dry heal for the first few days.

Start once the skin has closed.

No open, weeping or raw spots. Keep using it through the rest of healing and on healed tattoos.

Do not use on open, weeping or raw skin, near the eyes, or on sensitive areas.

How to use it

  1. Wash your hands, then gently wash the area with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap.
  2. Pat dry with a clean paper towel or let it air dry.
  3. Apply a thin, even layer morning and night, and whenever your tattoo feels dry or tight.

Stop using it if your skin reacts.

“Surprised by how much better this feels than what I was using. Absorbs fast and doesn't leave that shiny layer on the skin.”
