From what i ve always been told there are 2 things that should never be put near a tattoo during healing vaseline and savlon.
I mean you can ask anyone you want.
Bepanthen is not recommended for tattoo aftercare.
Next bepanthen contains petrolatum which is commonly known as petroleum jelly.
Your tattoo might still look a little dull or dry so tattoo aftercare products will continue to be your bff.
However since this is not specifically made for fresh wounds it can cause itching tingling urticarial and pimple like spots on the tattoo from the skin reacting to any one of the above ingredients.
Heres what you can use instead of vaseline.
As an ointment it penetrates the skin and is used for minor skin irritations such as diaper or nappy rash and sunburn.
Using bepanthen has also been known to cause pimples spots over tattoos when healing which also is a not a positive benefit for bepanthen for tattoo.
Incorrect use can cause your tattoo to develop a marbled effect.
Petroleum jelly traps moisture which can lead to infections and scarring if your tattoo doesn t get enough air while it s healing.
Bepanthen contains lanolin which is comedogenic and if you are sensitive or allergic to wool then it may give you some healing problems.
Savlon is a good alternative for healing.
It is intended to treat nappy rashes on a baby s bottom.
If after reading the above you still decide to use bepanthen ensure that it is applied extremely sparingly and thoroughly rubbed into the skin.
It makes your skin look young and hydrated.
Keep up the hydration routine until your skin is fully healed and supple again.
I apply it around my eyes and my dark circles disappear in few days.
