FRECKLE POSTCARE

Freckle tattoo aftercare is crucial for maintaining their longevity and appearance.

Keep them looking natural and beautiful with these simple aftercare steps:

​

Day 1 Aftercare:

Let the skin relax for the first 24 hours, and do not wash or bathe the skin.

​

Days 2-7: Face Washing

Wash daily to remove bacteria, buildup of product and oils, and dead skin. (don’t worry, this does not remove the pigment!)

Gently wash your face each morning and night with water and an antibacterial soap like Cetaphil or Neutrogena.

With a very light touch, use your fingertips to cleanse gently. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water to rinse all the soap is rinsed away.

To dry, gently pat with a clean cotton pad. Do not use cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or aha) or exfoliants.

​

Days 1-7: Apply Ointment

Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area.

Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing.

The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put the ointment on a wet tattoo.

​

Days 1-7: Showering

Limit your showers to 5-8 minutes to not create too much steam.

Keep your face and treated area out of the water while you wash your body. Then at the end of your shower, wash your hair.

Also, avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area. Do your best to avoid soap or water running over your brows other than the initial cleanse.

Faux Freckles Aftercare: Things to Avoid

• No makeup on the face for 10 days
