How Long Does It Take To Recover From A Tattoo? Tattoos are nothing but art. In fact, they offer a number of benefits, including enhancing ones beauty, and confidence. However, you may be asking yourself how long does it take for the tattoo to heal and the most ideal products to use to protect your skin from the ultra violet rays of the sun.

How Long Does It Take To Recover From A Tattoo?

It is worth nothing that healing process may take 2-4 weeks, depending on your immune system as well as your skin nature. Bear in mind that healing time can be prolonged if you expose your tattooed skin to pathogens or you scab your skin more severely.

There are several factors that influence the time taken to heal. Such variables vary from one person to the other thanks to unique skin properties. In order to recover faster, you need to consider the following recommendations:

Clean your hands thoroughly before working on your tattoos.
On the tattooed area, get rid of the protective membrane within the first 24 hrs.
Avoid tight clothing.
Apply H2Ocean’s Aquatat Ointment 2-3 times per day.
Stay away from direct sun rays or anything that can make you sweat.
For sun protection we recommend using H2Ocean’s Surfer’s Choice SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray
As far as cleaning the tattoo, wash it with H2Ocean’s Blue Green Foam Soap to get rid of the blood.
Cover up your tattoos to ensure that they do not dry up.

If your tattooed skin is taking a great deal of time to recover completely, then get the H2Ocean’s Aftercare Kits which include everything you need for tattoo aftercare for smooth faster heal and hard to heal tattoos respectively.

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.
