Wash your hands
It is important to do everything possible to prevent dirt and bacteria from getting into your new piercing. Therefore, make sure that you don’t touch your newly pierced ears without first washing your hands.
Cleanse the ear
Cleanse the new piercing in your ear thoroughly in front and in back, morning and evening. Keep the earrings in your ear, even during cleansing.
Use a liquid soap and we recommend that you cleanse the piercing while showering/washing your hair. Rinse thoroughly with running water and dry the area with a clean tissue or Q-tip.
For cleansing at other times, use Blomdahl Piercing Aftercare cleansing swabs, which are gentle to the skin. You can use them to cleanse between the ear and the earring/earring back. Allow to air dry. Use a new cleansing swab for the other ear, as well as new swabs the next time you cleanse the piercings. Note! Do not cleanse using alcohol.
Piercing Aftercare – cleansing swabs
After getting your ears pierced, it is important to keep the holes clean so that they do not become infected. With these cleansing swabs you can easily clean the area around the newly pierced hole. The swabs are gentle on the skin and alcohol-free, which means they do not dry out the skin or cause a burning sensation. They can be taken with you everywhere, enabling you to keep your piercings clean, even if you don’t have access to running water.
