General Piercing Aftercare Instructions
BEFORE YOU BUY

  • Choose a piercing solution with a pH 4.7 - 5.75 (optimal to skin). Saltwater solutions are great natural cleansers.
  • Choose saltwater solutions with high amounts of minerals, essential elements, and nutrients. Studies have proven these salts help stimulate cell circulation (faster healing).
  • Choose a piercing spray with the antibacterial ingredients. Never settle for less!
  • Many piercing solutions rely on high amounts of salt, pH >8. Salt DOES NOT prevent serious infection, health care professionals only remmend salt for cleansing.
  • High pH levels may burn and will strip skin of natural oils, causing: dried cracked skin, redness, flaking, irritation, itchiness, swelling, etc. More importantly, these oils act as a natural barrier that protect us from infection.
Mudscupper's piercing aftercare sprays are pH balanced to your skin, and made with Dead Sea, Himalayan, and Mediterranean salts. These salts have the highest amounts of nutrients, minerals, and essential elements in the world. Studies have shown these salts relax, detoxify, and stimulate cell circulation (faster healing).

Mudscupper's only uses Australian Tea Tree and East Cape Manuka oils in our products. These oils are
proven antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial with microbe damage reversing benefits (faster healing). They are effective against: Streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus (Staph), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Pathogenic Fungi.

Piercing Bumps - (often referred as: Topical Cysts, Hypertrophic Scarring, and mistaken for Keloids)

  • If a piercing bump should appear, try the following:
    • Thouroughly rinse your piercing, making sure to remove any trapped particles inside.
    • Always change jewelry to make sure it isn;t the problem, plus, there is a lot of poor / bad jewelry being being sold as 'quality' jewelry.
