Stories & Ink

Gosh, everyone – except, perhaps, most of the Beauty Bible team – seems to be tattooed, nowadays. And here’s what we know: ‘inked’ skin needs special care, not least to protect against the effects of UV light on tattoos, to prevent fading and discolouration.

So, here’s a brand that is entirely devoted to caring for inked skin, with a range of products designed to care for skin at every stage; the Aftercare Cream /£15 for 60ml, and Aftercare Foam Cleanser /£15 for 150ml, can be used on freshly-tattooed skin, to help reduce inflammation and speed up healing, with vitamin E and bisabolol.

The other products come into their own after skin has healed: fade-protective Daily Moisturiser /£13 for 200ml, with UVA/UVB filters, AHA-powered, brightening Exfoliating Body Wash /£13 for 200ml, and – clever this – a Highlighting Body Oil /£13 for 100ml, ideal if your tatt has acquired that ‘dusty’ look.

Or – and we’re thinking ahead to Christmas gifts for our inked beloveds – there’s the Artist Tattoo Care Kit /£65, in a gorgeously designed box – well, a choice of three fab designs, actually – showcasing the whole product line-up, as well as several smaller kit combos.
