Tea tree oil for inflamed piercings

If you're getting skin reactions around your piercings, or you feel like there's a bump around your piercing hole, you should start using tea tree oil to take care of the symptoms. Tea tree oil dehydrates the inflammation and reduces swelling. For the same reason, we recommend that you use it if you're gauging or stretching your earlobe piercings. 

The small bottle contains 0.17 fl Oz (5 ml) of oil, and it's very powerful. You only need to apply a tiny amount of oil to the swollen area and massage it softly so that it's rapidly absorbed. You can apply it on your fingers directly, or use an ear cotton swab. The oil has a quite intense smell and a potent effect on inflamed skin.

Tea tree oil is well known for its antiseptic effects. It contains essential oils that fight against inflammation. It's very comfortable to use because it doesn't sting or hurt, and this is especially encouraging for the most irritated piercings.

Apart from disinfecting, tea tree oil can also be used to prevent infections. Last, but not least, it can also be used for other swollen lumps, like the ones caused by insect bites. Tea tree oil is a very convenient product for piercing aftercare, which can be needed at any time. If you haven't got one yet, but you love piercings, you better get one!

Bear in mind this bottle contains 100% tea tree oil. We recommend that you first apply it to a small part of your skin that has no problems and test it, because very sensitive skin may reject it. If this is your case, try mixing 1 part of this oil with 10 of water.
