I can find lots of marketing about how awesome it is, and directions for use, but how does it atually help the skin heal?

Second Skin and similar products are bandages. They protect the wound from contamination.

What’s special about them is they keep shallow wounds, like a tattoo, moist. This helps keep scabs from forming and enhances skin regeneration.

Scabs are typically considered bad for tattoos because, if they aren’t treated properly, they can pull ink out or leave scars.
