Lubraderm or vasoline have no scent lotions. Lubraderm makes be break out. Everyones skin is different!
I used bag-balm and it works great. It is kinda greasy, but it definitely does the job. You can find it in the pet section of any Wal-Mart (it's for cow's utters). ;)
Walmart is everything that is wrong with our country.
Wal-Mart has been a saving grace for many small communities. Besides, this isn't a forum for Gabe's personal vendettas.
umm, it kinda is. I spend enough time working on this site to be able to say whatever I want. you can too. :-)
And walmart is a beast. Sure, I can barely afford to shop elsewhere, but that doesn't mean the corperation is anything but a (not so ethical) juggernaught. Please, calling Walmart a blessing is a product of not looking at the larger picture. In any event, people can look at all the facts and deceide for themselves if they care to...
Lubriderm is the best the one with green letters it should be fragrance free and lanolin free. Lanolin is what breaks some people out. make sure whatever you use is fragrance free.
Cocoa Butter works better than anythign else for me, lubriderm makes me break out, and cocoa butter speeds up the healing process. I definately reccomend it, i spoke to a few artists and the reason they dont give you that is because its too expensive and it doesnt come in little bottles.
Cetaphil is the best lotion I have found, fragrance free, love it!
try h2ocean...it uses natural sea salts and stuff for a non chemical healing (which is always better for your body)...I haven't seen any of my clients get any kind of alergic reactions and the stuff actually reduces your healing time AND...you can use it on cuts and stuff after your tat is healed. Check out they're website...www.h2ocean.com
A lotion for "beginning and always" has been created by tattoo artists and collectors. Out To Sea lotion will not only aid in your fresh tattoos but will keep your oldies looking tip tip. Apply when skin feels dry as often as needed.
Its has no fragrence along with anti-oxidants such as vit-c, green tea, and seaweed. out2sea.net
