If you love your tattoos, always protect them from the sun (and not just the sea). Between sticks and ad hoc products, you are spoiled for choice

Expose yourself in the sun without protect tattoos? A double risk: for the health of the skin and the appearance of your tattoos, which are thus destined to fade prematurely.

The solution is simple: protect yourself (e protect them!) always with SPF 50, to keep them bright and well defined.

Beware, though: if the tattoo is just made or is not healed yet, do not expose yourself to the sun and if in doubt ask your doctor for advice.

The sun stick, the super resistant "to go" protection

The sun stick - strictly with SPF 50 - is the ideal product for those who have one or more tattoos in not too large areas: it is easy to apply, without having to massage the product, and is comfortable to carry around even in the city.

Often these products have a more full-bodied consistency and remain longer on the skin, even in water, proving to be irreplaceable allies against the sun's rays.

However, the basic rule does not change: reapply it after baths or after a few hours to maintain excellent protection.

Specific sun creams for tattoos, moisturizing and protective

Tattoo sunscreens all have a SPF 50: they are not very different from "normal" sunscreens, but are often enriched with emollient ingredients (such as panthenol), to keep the tattoo well hydrated and shiny, without sacrificing total protection.

The cream Sun System Tattoo by Rilastil creates a protective barrier on the tattooed skin. It has a rich and full-bodied formula thanks to the cocoa butter.

Spray protection to get to the most difficult places

Are you at the sea in (blissful) solitude and can't cover a tattoo on your back? The solution is a solar spray with 360 ° dispenser, sprayable in all directions and with a texture that does not require massaging. In this case, remember to repeat the application more often, and never go below an SPF 50.
