How to Preserve Your Tattoo and Maintain Its Integrity

There are a range of approaches to Preserve Your Tattoo and guarantee the integrity of your body art if you’re thinking about getting a tattoo. Among the main tips is that you have to be certain to follow the proper maintenance regimen. It may not seem significant at first, but the appearance can be drastically affected if the right aftercare method is not maintained.

Keep the Bandage On Initially

Artists advocate leaving wrap or a bandage following the tattoo application for a day or two. This is to protect your vulnerable skin and to allow you to recover from any scarring. But once that period has passed, you will need to remove the bandage.

Clean Your Tattoo Regularly

It is very important to wash your tattoo for cleanliness and health. You always need to use a mild soap, when cleansing your tattoo. You need to wash it 2-3 times a day to ensure it remains free of disease and germs. You should also consider looking into tattoo care products such as H2Ocean’s Extreme Tattoo Care kit. This all natural, all inclusive kit contains all the products you need to successfully cleanse, moisturize and Preserve Your Tattoo. This aftercare system provides moisture and nourishment to your skin for all stages of healing.

Avoid Touching and Sun Exposure

After you have thoroughly cleaned your new tattoo, you should try not to touch and scratch the area too often. Your newly tattooed skin is even more sensitive to sunlight. If you allow it to get too warm, it will burn and peel. It is best to avoid outdoor activities until your tattoo is fully healed. Sunlight, saltwater and pools should be off limits as they can damage the healing process permanently.

Keep Your Tattoo Moisturized

Do not ever allow your tattoo to become too dry. This opens the possibility for cracking, color loss, scarring and unhealthy scabbing. Scabbing will naturally occur throughout the healing process but can become unhealthy scabbing if the wound is too dry. It’s best to use tattoo ointment or tattoo lotion to help keep your healing tattoo moisturized and fresher in color for longer.

Plan Ahead for Tattoo Aftercare

Adhering to these skincare tips may help you maintain your tattoos. Whenever you get tattoos, is extremely important to plan ahead and know the procedures involved.

Let’s talk Xylitol - Your mouth’s new best friend!

Xylitol means ‘wood sugar’ is a natural sweetener made from birch or corn.

The neat thing about Xylitol is that, unlike normal sugar, it won’t feed the harmful bacteria in your mouth! Instead, the bacteria has to spend MORE energy trying to digest Xylitol than what it gets from eating it. Thus, Xylitol slowly starves the bad bacteria living in your mouth, leaving the helpful bacteria alone, and helping naturally regulate the micro-biome of your mouth.

On top of that, Xylitol also keeps your saliva’s Ph balanced, and promotes a healthier environment for your enamel. We take advantage of this opportunity by packing our mouthwash with 80+ trace minerals that help remineralize your teeth, keeping cavities away!

When you choose a mouthwash with Xylitol, you’re saying yes to a healthier, fresher mouth WITHOUT the harsh chemicals or sugary drawbacks.
So why settle for sweet, when you can have smart? Your smile deserves better.
