How to keep your new tattoos from fading in the summer sun? It’s fairly simple. Sunblock! Also limiting exposure or covering your tattoos with clothing are great options as well.
Using sunblock on your new tattoos, along with daily moisturizing is essential to proper care of not only your tattoo, but the overall health of your skin. You want to keep that skin healthy as future palettes for your tattoo artist to work with. It also helps make your skin appear more youthful! Avoid those faded tattoos and wrinkles with a little TLC!
We can’t directly endorse any particular brand of sunscreen or skincare products, but do yourself a favor and do some research before buying. We recommend a non nano particle zinc oxide for your sunblock as many sunblocks and sunscreens have very dangerous chemicals in them. See what others are saying about available products. You don’t want it greasy feeling. It should be a certain SPF percentage and should absorb quickly into your skin. You don’t want lotion residue on your clothing, and you don’t want to have that oily/greasy appearance either. Sometimes it’s worth paying a little more for a product if it will help you achieve superior results. You, your skin and your tattoos are worth the investment.
