☀️ Do you have tattoos? Protect them this summer as they deserve

When we think about sun protection, we usually worry about avoiding sunburn or skin aging. However, there is something many people forget: tattoos also need protection every day.

A fresh tattoo is skin in the process of repair. During the first few weeks, the skin barrier is more sensitive, and factors such as the sun, chlorine, seawater, or dehydration can delay healing and affect the final result.

But even when the tattoo is completely healed, protection remains essential.

What happens to an unprotected tattoo?

UV radiation accelerates the deterioration of pigments and skin, causing:

• ✨ Loss of color intensity.
• 🎨 Less defined outlines.
• 💧 Drier and dehydrated skin.
• ⏳ Premature aging of the tattooed area.

Caring for a tattoo isn't just about preventing it from burning. It also means preserving its color, definition, and the healthy appearance of the skin for many years.

3 habits that make the difference

☀️ Apply an SPF 50 or SPF 50+ sunscreen every day, especially on arms, legs, shoulders, back, or neckline.

🔄 Reapply the sunscreen every two hours, and always after bathing, sweating, or drying off with a towel.

💙 Hydrate your skin after sun exposure. Well-hydrated skin keeps the tattoo looking brighter, more uniform, and beautiful.

If your tattoo is recent…

Avoid direct sun exposure, swimming pools, and seawater until the skin has completely healed. This step is fundamental to preserving both the health of the skin and the quality of the tattoo.

Which sunscreen to choose?

It is highly recommended to use an SPF 50 or SPF 50+ photoprotector with broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays.

• UVB rays are responsible for sunburn.
• UVA rays penetrate more deeply and promote skin aging, in addition to accelerating the loss of color and definition of the tattoo.

Choosing a good sunscreen and using it correctly is the best way to keep your skin healthy and your tattoos looking impeccable for much longer.
