The Tea: Don't Put this Stuff on your Piercings
Hey Body Candy Babes!
Happy Thursday, ladies! Welcome to my weekly e-zine, The Tea :).
Today's topics:
- I get a lot of questions on what you can and can't put on your piercings - here's what I've come up with!
- Your best bet for piercing aftercare is a warm, saline solution wash
- Stay away from alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or anything containing the chemical Triclosan
- Why tea tree oil is also sometimes an unsafe option
- Aftercare tips like hot, steamy showers, refraining from touching your piercings, and the dangers of over-cleaning

There is still plenty of time left before Halloween rolls around! Y'all know I love getting spoopy *ahem* spooky, and we're still getting in tons of new Halloween-themed jewelry. Maybe you've noticed - but we started up "What You're Wearing Wednesday" e-mails, so make sure you send us lots of costume-themed inspo by tagging your IG pics with #bodycandy. We also just got a huge shipment in of fresh new jewelry, so I highlighted our newest arrivals up above too. Fall, Thanksgiving, and even Christmas stuff is rolling in fast - so get it while it's hot (or cold). Last but not least, y'all know I can't resist the fiery shimmer of opal-studded stuff. Make sure you check out what we have to offer in our Opal Love collection :).
I can only cover so much in my weekly vlog, so we always make sure to go a bit more in depth in our Body Jewelry Blog. This week, we put together a helpful little list of five things you should never put on your piercings. Babes, at the end of the day, there's no substitute for a warm, saline solution... There are lots of things that you might think are helpful with your piercings that might actually be hurting you. One of my personal pet peeves is anything with the chemical "Triclosan" in it. Make sure you check that out and do your best to avoid these topical no-nos! FYI - we post on our blog multiple times a week, also including The Tea and Facebook LIVE. Wishing you the best in keeping your piercings happy and healthy!
October means sweater and hoodie weather, and for that reason it's my absolutely favorite time of year. Make sure you check out our fresh monthly club subscriptions! Each club is packed full of three (yes, three!) different pieces of jewelry. This is one of our absolute best deals on the site. We do our best to make sure our clubs are great for the season and that there is something for everybody to wear and enjoy. This is an easy and affordable way to add to your collection every month with a club that works for just about everyone - belly rings, nipple rings, septum rings, nose rings, industrial bars, cartilage, t-shirts, and more :).
Love,
