I have been told everything from normal ointment to Lubriderm to Visine to Preparation H. What have you found that results in the best color? I have been using some sort of ointment I got in Bangkok but I don't read Thai so I don't know exactly what it is, but it is what was recommended by the artist. I'm happy with my results, just curious what else is successfully being used because I am going to be out of this shit tomorrow.
Happy holidays,

I'm uploading a pic of my last one, which I got 5 years ago. I used a lotion with no dyes, fragrances or anything like that to put on it while it was healing..nothing else. And the color is pretty good still, considering I always have my hair up when I go outside, so the sun beats on it. The black needs to be re-done, but the colors are still vibrant. I would like to get it updated soon though.
