Healing requires time, not many products.
A piercing is a newly formed channel in the tissue. Proper care must keep the area clean without irritating or excessively drying it.
Clean gently.Protect the area and let the body heal.
Frequent handling, rotating the jewellery, pressure, and strong products can delay healing and cause irritation.
Daily routine.
Care varies slightly depending on the area, but the basic rules remain the same.
Care for body piercings.
For navel, eyebrow, lip, nose, and ear, cleaning must be gentle and consistent.
Sterile saline solution
Spray the solution on both sides of the piercing and let the crusts soften.
Rinse with clean water
Avoid strong jets and rinse well any soap residue around the area.
No rubbing
Gently dab with clean gauze or disposable paper.
No pressure
Avoid tight clothing, snagging, makeup, and sleeping directly on the piercing.
Care for tongue and lip piercings.
Oral piercings require separate rules for the inside of the mouth and the outside of the lip.
Reduce swelling
Consume cold or room temperature foods and avoid very hot or spicy food.
Rinse after meals
Use clean water and maintain careful oral hygiene with a soft toothbrush.

Choose an alcohol-free and peroxide-free solution, used moderately.
Avoid smoking
Smoking, alcohol, and playing with the jewellery can delay healing.
