Choosing a Mineral Sunscreen When You Have Tattoos

When it comes to protecting your skin from the sun, it's important to consider the unique needs of those who have tattoos. Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing a mineral sunscreen for tattooed skin:

  1. Mineral sunscreens are made with natural ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. They provide a physical barrier that reflects UV radiation away from the skin, rather than absorbing it like chemical sunscreens.

  2. Some chemical sunscreens can cause irritation or discoloration of tattoos. Choosing a mineral sunscreen can help minimize the risk of these issues.

  3. Sunscreens with SPF 30 or higher are recommended for tattooed skin, as they provide the best protection against UV radiation.

  4. Sunscreen should be applied directly to the tattoo, and gently rubbed in to ensure full coverage. It is also recommended to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

  5. If you have a new tattoo, it's important to wait until it's fully healed before exposing it to the sun. This usually takes about 2-3 weeks.

  6. Sunclub sunscreen is made with 100% natural ingredients and is gentle on the skin, and helps to prevent sunburns and skin damage. It is perfect for those who have tattoos.

  7. Consider wearing protective clothing, like long-sleeved shirts and wide-brimmed hats, to provide additional sun protection for your tattoos.

In summary, choosing a mineral sunscreen for tattooed skin is important to minimize the risk of irritation or discoloration. Sunclub sunscreen made with 100% natural ingredients, is gentle on the skin, and provides the best protection for tattooed skin. It is recommended to apply sunscreen every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating, and wearing protective clothing like long-sleeved shirts and wide-brimmed hats to provide additional sun protection.
