Aftercare Instructions & Responsibilities
Wash or Sanitize
Do not touch your ears without first washing or sanitizing your hands.
Cleansing
With clean hands, wash ears using lint-free natural cotton pad, mild anti-bacterial soap and water. Apply Studex Piercing Care Gel with a Q-tip to the front and back of each earlobe two times a day for six weeks. OR apply the Studex Piercing Spray on the front and back two times a day for three weeks. After cleansing, gently slide your earrings back and forth and rotate them in a circle. This will ensure absorption of the solution at the piercing site. Do not remove your earrings when cleansing and do not use alcohol or peroxide as a cleaning solution.
Back of Earring
Do not tighten your earring backs. They should be loose with the earring backing sitting at the end of the post in the notches. Check each day, as they can naturally tighten while sleeping.
Beauty Products
Use care when using products such as shampoo, soap, hair dye, perfume and hairspray near your ears. If possible, gently cover your ears to avoid contact with these products. If contact occurs, rinse your ears immediately to avoid irritation.
Hair Tools
Use care when styling your hair around your newly pierced ears. Brushes, combs, curling irons and hair dryers should be kept a safe distance from your ears.
Dressing
Use care while dressing. Pulling clothes over your head can result in trauma to your ears and slow the healing process.
Swimming
Avoid swimming for 24 hours after piercing. It's always a good idea to wash your ears with soap and water as soon as possible after swimming until you are fully healed.
Ear Coverings
Avoid over-the-ear headphones, hats, caps and scarves that rest at ear level while healing.
Six Weeks
Leave your new earrings in 24/7 for six weeks. After this time, provided your ears are completely healed, you may replace your earrings with another pair of good quality earrings. Do not wear heavy earrings for at least six months to prevent stretching. If your ears begin to feel sore, return to your original earrings for one to two more weeks and resume the aftercare instructions.
One Year
After the six-week period, you may take out your original pair of earrings, although, another pair must be in your ears at all times for one year to avoid the holes from closing up.
Reactions
Pain, redness, warmth and or swelling are not normal reactions to ear piercing and are generally uncommon and are typically due to not following the above instructions. Please consult a physician immediately.
