For the first six weeks we recommend

Wash your hands carefully before touching your ear stud or ear. Apply the After Piercing Lotion to the front and back of your ear twice a day without removing the ear stud. Turn the ear stud 2 – 3 times 180 ° to the left and 180 ° to the right, i.e. only ½ turn each time, to avoid hair wrapping around the pin of the ear stud on the back of the ear. Keep the ear dry between care applications.Make sure that no hairspray, shampoo, soap or other preparations come into contact with the ear. After washing the hair, the ear should be rinsed with clear water and then the After Piercing Lotion should be applied as described above. Do not remove the ear stud during the first 6 weeks. Do not touch your ear and / or the ear stud unnecessarily. Leave the ear stud fastener correctly in the notch of the ear stud pin and check the correct fit of the ear stud fastener each time you perform the care routine. This ensures that the ear stud fits securely and that enough air gets to the piercing channel. An ear stud that is too tight can lead to an infection (see illustration)

Tips for replacing the ear stud after the healing phase

With the fingernail of one hand, grasp under the ear stud head and with the other hand grasp the ear stud fastener. Pull on both parts while turning one part to the left and the other to the right. Make sure you pull both pieces apart in a straight line. If the ear stud fastener is too tight, hold a cotton pad soaked in After Piercing Lotion on it for 4 - 5 min. Repeat steps 1 - 3 above and the ear stud fastener will come off more easily.
