Eucerin Aquaphor Ointment Body Spray 250ml

Product Information

Eucerin Aquaphor Body Ointment Spray is easy to apply on larger areas of the body like legs or arms, making it an ideal protective barrier against chaffing during sports such as jogging. If you experience friction of the skin, the cooling SOS spray can protect and repair large areas of skin. After a given number of days of using ointment (your tattoo artist will specify how many), you’ll switch to lotion. This is because you need to keep your tattoo moist for several weeks until it’s completely healed. Eucerin Aquaphor Body Ointment Spray immediately soothes and relieves very dry, rough skin anywhere on the body.

The oil, which has a 4.7-star rating, comes in a smaller 4-ounce bottle, but a little bit goes a long way, according to the manufacturer. In addition to being free of petroleum, it's has no parabens, sulphates, silicones, or phthalates. When it comes down to it, slugging certainly doesn’t work for everyone, and it’s always best to run anything new by your dermatologist before you try it. But if you (and your skin) are in the clear, try slathering on some Aquaphor every few nights and see if it’s the key you’ve been missing. Just be prepared to sacrifice your pillowcase in this pursuit of dewy skin (all’s fair in skin and war, right?). That’s largely because its main ingredient is petrolatum, a mix of mineral oils and waxes, better known as petroleum jell y. It’s safe to apply to the body and helps retain water on the surface of the skin.See a dermatologist if you experience a negative skin reaction after using Aquaphor or other skin care products.

Aquaphor has two main health benefits when used on the face and the rest of the body: Easing dry skin When used on your skin overnight, “Aquaphor prevents water from evaporating from your face, helping to improve your skin barrier function and keep your skin moisturized and healthy,” says Dr. Nazarian. A healthy, hydrated skin barrier means fewer breakouts, less redness and irritation, and even decreased fine lines and wrinkles. That’s why users across r/SkincareAddiction swear Aquaphor has the ability to transform irritated, dry skin into happy, smooth skin. "And if you have eczema patches or overall extremely dry skin, applying petrolatum to your face may be beneficial to relieve dryness and tightness," says Dr. Ruth. Does Aquaphor clog pores on face? Aquaphor is a proven remedy for speeding the healing time of injured skin, including skin that’s been recently tattooed. Because Aquaphor creates a barrier over the skin, it’s important to wash your skin before applying it to prevent trapping in dirt or bacteria. If you apply it while your skin is still damp from washing, you can maximize its moisturizing effects.

Beth Gillette is the beauty editor at Cosmopolitan with five years of experience researching, writing, and editing skincare stories that range from moisturizers for acne-prone skin to eye creams for dark circles. She’s an authority in all skincare categories, but is an expert when it comes to putting Aquaphor on your face, since she's been doing it for years (under the guidance of dermatologists and aestheticians, of course). Apply as frequently as needed on affected areas. Shake well before use. Hold 15 cm from the skin and spray evenly to apply. Gently rub into the skin as needed. Wipe nozzle after use. Do not use on open, bleeding, or wet wounds. Vegetable waxes or animal waxes are naturally occurring and offer similar solutions without the possible petroleum (also called petrolatum,) downsides. Selecting a product with additional restorative ingredients like plant oils and vitamins is always a bonus. Here are a few of the most effective ingredients to look for when you're considering an Aquaphor swap: If you have sensitive skin, you know that soaps, cosmetics, jewellery... even a new washing powder, can unexpectedly irritate your skin. The active ingredients found in the formula of the classic Eucerin Aquaphor skin repair ointment include Panthenoland Glycerin. These key ingredients can also be found in the ointment spray.Maybe you’re out of your go-to brow product, or are looking for a cost-efficient option. Birnur Aral, Ph.D., Director of the Health, Beauty & Environmental Sciences Lab of the Good Housekeeping Institute, recommends dabbing a small amount of Aquaphor Healing Ointment onto your arches and brushing them into place. The formula’s heavy texture gives brow stylers a run for their money while delivering major hydration to the area. It can make your makeup look more vibrant. Eucerin Aquaphor Body Ointment Spray is clinically proven to repair very dry, irritated skin by creating the ideal protective barrier for skin regeneration. The spray dispenser gives 3600 access to any area of the body. During your aftercare routine, instead of adding ointment, apply a thin layer of lotion at least twice a day. However, you might need to apply lotion as much as up to four times a day to keep your healing tattoo hydrated. Can you use Aquaphor as a daily moisturizer? Not exactly. The brand doesn’t add moisture to the skin – it keeps existing moisture there instead of letting it evaporate. If you want to add extra moisture to the skin, then apply your daily moisturizer and apply a thin layer of Aquaphor on top of that. It will ensure that your moisturizing products don’t evaporate so they can hydrate your skin.

Don’t submerge or keep your tattoo wet for a prolonged period of time. While brief showers are fine, this means no swimming, baths, or hot tubs for at least 2 weeks. There’s a difference between ointment and lotion. Ointments like Aquaphor do a more heavy-duty job of moisturizing the skin than do lotions. That’s because ointments have an oil base, while lotions have a water base.

Sarnoff DS. (2011). A comparison of wound healing between a skin protectant ointment and a medical device topical emulsion after laser resurfacing of the perioral area. DOI: Aquaphor is great for slugging because it creates an occlusive barrier on your skin to keep hydration in all night long. It acts like a skincare blanket, swaddling all the good-for-you ingredients from your serums, toners, and moisturizers close to your skin to make them more effective. But on its own, occlusives don’t actually do any of the moisturizing.
