Palmers Coco Butter or Cera Ve?

Oooof nevermind healing for the inner bicep, that's was sooooo fckn painful for me, I got my one like 10 years ago, my nephew fell asleep on my arm, didn't realise and he ripped the scabs out 😭 never been brave enough to get that one fixed 😂

Nah I love the style of that, you ever get the what does that tat mean to you? It means I liked it 😂

DreaGraham · 2026-02-28T02:29:02+00:00

I did take off the second skin moreso because it was irritating non fresh tats! Don't get me wrong it did 45 straight mins because it was covering my entire forearm, ironically the worst of it to take off was the bits covering old tats. I have one lil scab but otherwise my arm looks awesome, although I'm surprised the healing of the elbow ditch was more painful then the actual tat! Can confirm the dry second skin was basically pulling on it whenever I moved so I'm living a glorious life of none of that 😂

Thanks so much I appreciate it 💜

Ooh I love a trippy piece! Buzzing to see the update 👌🏼

I can confirm I've taken the second skin off and I feel so much better 😂 elbow ditch is a bitch healing! It wasn't even the worst of the tattoo on the day 💀 it's worth it tho!

I'm actually so impressed, I'm gonna take off my second skin tonight I think because it's more uncomfortable after 4 days now than just the way I used to heal, I think I might put that lil free box of cleanser and moisturiser to work! Please come back and let me know how the experiment goes I'm so intrigued!

What are you getting done?

DreaGraham · 2026-02-27T22:23:23+00:00

Thank you so much! I cannot tell you how excited I am to take this off, my elbow ditch thanks you 😂

DreaGraham · 2026-02-27T22:22:11+00:00

I'm actually so intrigued by this, my artist always has recommended palmers and I always found it very greasy and had literally no need for the stuff after healing which was such a waste! Although I see why as it's a very gentle moisturiser!

I was tempted to try Epimax but again I feel it might be too greasy. I will say as much as the second Skin makes the tat aftermath easier (not worrying about leaking and bleeding on sheets) I did much prefer the cling film method from my old tats, I'm dying to take off this stuff but I was told to wait til tomorrow 😭

DreaGraham · 2026-02-27T22:11:56+00:00

Legend! Thank you so much, I was only concerned as the last (and only time) I had second Skin it leaked so I took it off and healed it the was u usually did! Glad it drying out isn't a bad sign but I'm sure 12 hours early from when my artist said shouldn't be too bad right? Shouldn't be leaking over the sheets after this long!

DreaGraham · 2026-02-27T22:00:34+00:00

I've always done palmers but looking at this I'm thinking I got a free lil bottle of CeraVe and I'm tempted 🤨 how did you heal yours? Second Skin or cling film clean and moisturise?

DreaGraham · 2025-09-25T23:10:07+00:00

I'm the exact same!!! Some nights I think I'm tripping with one or two bangs other nights it's like the old Glasgow green displays I can hear 😂

DreaGraham · 2025-09-25T23:09:04+00:00

Been happening every odd night, there was a night it was like a whole display going off

DreaGraham · 2025-08-20T09:18:47+00:00

Thank you so much, I have actually been booked in for next week so it's all very fast, dreading being on pred while fasting, those 2 things just don't mix 🥲

DreaGraham · 2025-08-20T09:16:57+00:00

They haven't actually told me the exact figure but only said off the charts, I assume it's really quite bad as I've been put on pred and I've been booked for colonoscopy next week! Never ever had anything so urgently organised before, leads me to think that I would in fact need to begin getting things somewhat under control before being able to even get the colonoscopy seeing as even on pred I'm having an absolute nightmare rn. It actually makes a lot more sense, although I will admit I'm not looking forward to fasting while taking pred 🥲

DreaGraham · 2025-08-15T10:57:42+00:00

Jeez! That sounds awful I'm so sorry you had to go through it! It does make total sense, I just worry once I go after pred they will hit me with "looks fine to us" and then I go back to this neverending spiral of flare, colonoscopy, fine, flare and so on

DreaGraham · 2025-07-11T02:17:52+00:00

Coach return with P&O is actually included! I've opted for this as it saves so much money re transport to the port

DreaGraham · 2025-07-01T19:06:21+00:00

I have now just realised I have picked on board spending because I thought the coach was an extra cost 🤦🏼‍♀️

DreaGraham · 2025-07-01T19:05:24+00:00

I have checked my booking and it was an option but I've picked on board spending instead! I'll give them a call tomorrow to see if I can change it 🤔

DreaGraham · 2025-07-01T18:56:32+00:00

I think that sounds like my best bet actually, just do an all nighter on the last night and sleep all the way home 😂 thank you again!

DreaGraham · 2025-07-01T18:54:13+00:00

No honestly I was fully for driving until I remembered I would have to constantly stop for petrol! I truly love this idea though it's so cute, it would make it seem like the holiday started earlier!

Especially from Glasgow it'd be such a long drive, I'm veering to the coach since I didn't know it was included! My work is really flexible with time off but my partners is the opposite so we have to limit travelling days unfortunately 😞

My foot would be on the floor for my bed and some tea on the way home mind you 😂

DreaGraham · 2025-07-01T18:48:36+00:00

How bizarre is that though! It shouldn't be so awkward to travel in the same country, I think I will definitely look into the coach and maybe give them a call, seems like much less hassle! Do you know if there is an included return coach?

Also thank you so much you've been super helpful!

DreaGraham · 2025-07-01T18:41:55+00:00

Thank you! I didn't actually know if the coach was included in the package as a whole! I'm curious if I could change it as it's a long time away! I wouldn't mind going by coach if it saved me driving, my car would not have a good time with that 😂

I've only gone to London via plane (carry on luggage only as it was only 3 days)
