Rubbing alcohol is made up of approximately 70-75％denatured ethanol or isopropyl,It can be used on intact skin (e.g:before injection/piercing)or sterilization of medical equipments only. When applied to open wound (piercing wound),it can caused tissue damage,pain,irritation .Actually slow down the healing process.
What should we use for disinfection?
Keeping your piercing clean is very important ,but always remember don’t over clean! Cleaning too often will dry the skin out and irritate your piercing ,as this will break your new skin too. Rubbing alcohol is perfect for cleaning earrings not for skin.we recommend use saline wash or mild soap or the products that advises by your body piercer.
