Summer Piercing Care Guide: Keep Your Jewelry Sparkling & Skin Happy

Jewelry First: Keep It Clean, Keep It Cool
Your piercing jewelry is in direct contact with your skin, which means it collects sweat, sunscreen, and bacteria throughout the day. Here’s how to keep it safe and shining:
-
Clean your jewelry regularly with a gentle saline solution—especially after being outdoors or sweating.
-
Choose hypoallergenic materials like titanium, 14k gold, or surgical steel to avoid summer-related skin irritation.
-
Avoid switching jewelry too often if your piercing is fresh or still healing.
-
Store extra jewelry in a dry, clean place—moisture can tarnish or damage metal in hot weather.

Skin Matters: Protect Your Piercing Sites from Summer Stress
Your skin is more reactive in summer, especially around piercings. Heat, friction from clothes, and bacteria from water or sweat can all trigger inflammation.
Here’s how to protect your piercing sites:
-
Rinse piercings with sterile saline after sweating, swimming, or applying sunscreen.
-
Keep the area dry. Use a clean, soft cloth to pat gently—don’t rub.
-
Avoid heavy lotions or thick sunscreen around fresh piercings.
-
Don’t touch or twist your jewelry with unwashed hands.
-
Wear breathable, loose-fitting clothes to reduce friction on belly or body piercings.
If you notice redness, swelling, or discomfort, clean with saline twice a day and avoid touching the area. Persistent irritation may require switching to a more skin-safe material or visiting a professional piercer.
Keep Glowing, Keep Pierced
Your piercing is part of your style and identity—don’t let summer dull your shine. With a little extra care and the right jewelry, you can enjoy every warm-weather moment with confidence and comfort.
