On many occasions we talk about the importance of caring for and protecting the skin during the summer to protect it from the sun and prevent tattoos may be directly affected or, over time, age worse. But what about the coldest time of year? The winter tattoo care they are equally important. Especially if you live in an area where temperatures are plummeting.
In the absence of a few days for the winter to officially come into force, we have been experiencing low temperatures, rains and the first snowfalls for days. It's a perfect time to review the care of tattoos in winter. Or rather, the main care that we must bear in mind if we want our tattoos to look freshly made for much longer.
What should we keep in mind? If our tattooed skin is exposed to the cold for a considerable time, either during our workday or when going out to play sports, we must monitor that is properly hydrated. Cold affects the skin in a very negative way, and there are people who already have dry skin. It is very common for wounds to appear on the hands because, literally, the skin cracks. Well imagine what effect this has on tattoos.
The best thing is that after a day we dedicate a few minutes to moisturize the skin. And if during the day we can do it, we must avoid that the skin is directly exposed to the cold. Wearing gloves and warm clothing whenever possible is a key factor. Are the main care of tattoos in winter. Simple measures but that will help our tattoos to be perfect for next summer.
