Mane Juice- For Tattoo After-care

Anyone who has ever been tattooed knows that the process extends well beyond the moment your artist of choice lays down the needle. The healing process can be every bit as important and a topical ointment can often be suggested to help aid in the process.

How can the ingredients in Mane Juice help with tattoo after-care?

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil contains a high level of fatty acids that are useful for creating a moisture barrier in the skin. It also possesses anti-inflammatory properties that can help to calm irritated, damaged skin- recently tattooed skin for example.

Further to its moisturizing benefits, it also contains high levels of lauric acid, an effective protector against the growth of bacteria, so coconut oil can actually help to prevent infection.

Lavender Oil

Lavender Oil can be applied to a fresh tattoo so you can benefit from its natural pain relieving and soothing properties. Lavender Oil also has natural SPF to help protect your new tattoo from sun damage now and long term.

Rose Hip Oil

Easily absorbed by the skin, rosehip oil has astringent properties that help to brighten skin and tighten pores. Continued use, even AFTER the healing phase of your tattoo is complete will ensure your tattoo stays vibrant for years to come!

Vitamin E Oil

Your tattoo is only as healthy as the skin it’s on! Vitamin E allows your skin to breath despite its moisturizing components and is loaded with antioxidants. Some studies also suggest Vitamin E can aid with wound healing and your new tattoo (although inflicted by choice) is essentially just that.

To summarize, Mane Juice is not only safe to use on new tattoos, but may offer the following benefits:

It is all natural

Meaning it contains no synthetic materials or chemicals. You also have a much lower chance of an allergic reaction or skin irritation that might be caused by any additives.

It is intensely moisturizing

Tattoos can dry out fairly quickly during the healing process. The fatty acid components in coconut oil help retain moisture and acts as a gentle exfoliator for the scabs that will form in the following days after a new tattoo.

It is anti-inflammatory

Coconut Oil contains ingredients like vitamins C, E and L-arginine as well as lauric acid and vitamin K, all of which are well known for their skin healing anti-inflammatory properties- coupled with the natural calming benefit of lavender oil, Mane Juice makes a potent balm for your newly tattooed skin.

It’s important to note that a new tattoo needs to breathe, so be careful not to overdo it. A light layer of Mane Juice should be sufficient, especially during the early stages of healing. Always follow the directions of your artist when it comes to caring for your tattoo!
