When it comes to choosing the best products for your tattoo aftercare<\/a>, you can definitely choose wrong if you don’t pay special attention to the product ingredients and their interaction with the tattoo. As your new baby, you need to take the best possible care of your tattoo, because that is the only way it will heal properly without any complications.<\/p>\n

But, in order to do that, you need to do your homework; research is the best way to learn about tattoo aftercare and which products you should use, especially if you have particularly sensitive skin or a skin condition.<\/p>\n

Now, one product that people keep recommending in their online (and IRL) tattoo tips and tricks is Lubriderm. Because so many people claim this product works like magic, we had to look into it and see if it really works. Therefore, in the following paragraphs, we’ll look into Lubriderm, product ingredients, how it works and how it interacts with tattoos. So, without further ado, let’s get started!<\/p>\n

Lubriderm and Tattoos \u2013 Aftercare Tip or Another Internet Hoax<\/h2>\n

What is Lubriderm?<\/h3>\n

Lubriderm<\/a>\u00a0is a moisturizing lotion, developed in 1945, but officially hit the market in 1975. It was available for purchase across the country, and the developers claimed it to be a fast-absorbing, long-lasting, highly effective skincare product. To this day, Lubriderm stays by the same claims, so much so that it is even recommended by dermatologists, hospitals, and pharmacists for cases of dry, itchy, or healing skin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Many companies claim their products are clinically tested and approved, but in many cases, there is no way for a customer to really know whether or not that is true. When it comes to Lubriderm, the company guarantees clinical testing and clinically proven formulas, which are based on simplicity and a ‘less is more’ philosophy when it comes to the ingredients.<\/p>\n

Speaking of ingredients, Lubriderm lotions are water-based and contain mineral oil, capric triglyceride, petrolatum, stearic acid, Cetearyl alcohol, lanolin, dimethicone, etc. All of these ingredients work together to provide daily moisture for normal, dry, or highly sensitive skin<\/strong>. Ingredients like petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil, and dimethicone are\u00a0emollients<\/a>\u00a0that soothe and hydrate skin, reaching deep into the skin layers. These ingredients are incredibly effective and even used in ointments meant for eczema treatment.<\/p>\n

Is Lubriderm Safe For Use?<\/h3>\n

Regardless of whether you want to use a product for general skin care or for tattoo aftercare specifically, it is important to know whether it is safe or not. Now, what does ‘safe’ mean in this case? Of course, lotions are safe for use, but what we want to look into is whether Lubriderm causes any potential side effects users should be aware of. So far, we’ve noticed that Lubriderm can and should only be applied on the skin<\/strong>. One should not apply the lotion near the eyes, mouth, nose, or groin area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now, because Lubriderm contains emollient-specific ingredients<\/strong>, that give it the moisturizing and hydrating effect, we have to consider the possibility of burning, stinging, irritation, and redness occurring in some people<\/strong>. This is, nevertheless, super rare<\/strong>, but if you have ever experienced one of these occurrences after using Lubriderm, you should avoid using this product again.<\/p>\n

Serious allergic reactions to Lubriderm are also rare<\/strong>. However, some people can experience an allergic reaction, with the following symptoms: rash, itching, swelling (especially of the face and the mouth), dizziness, and trouble breathing. If one experiences any of these symptoms after using Lubriderm, it is essential to seek medical attention.<\/p>\n

Lubriderm and Tattoo Aftercare<\/h3>\n

Now that we know everything about Lubriderm, it is time to consider its use for a specific type of care; tattoo aftercare.<\/p>\n
