Best moisturizer to use after SMP procedure?

June 24, 2016
Asked By:MIKEFJ in Cresskill, NJ

I heard I should stay away from moisturizers with alcohol. Seems to be difficult as many have it in ingredients..Also I've read a lot of stuff about using moisturizes like head Blade lube Matte..should I use it as my moisturizer? If so when can I start and how often after my procedure? Thank you in advance for your responses.
