Can you use the earcare for your lip piercing?
If I were you, I'd get rid of the solution and just use natural sea salt and water. Its much cheaper and more effective. You can use the sea salt solution on the outside of the piercing for soaks and you can also use it to rinse your mouth.

You don't want to put Epsom Salt OR table salt on ANY piercing. They contain sugar and will cause infection. The ONLY thing to put on a fresh piercing is SEA SALT. Using 1/4tsp of sea salt with 8oz. of warm water, and soak the piercing for about 10 minutes twice a day. It is the best thing to help heal your piercing. When you are in the shower, use Dial soap to clean it also. But sea salt soaks are amazing for helping heal a piercing.

Can you use sea salt on your piercing?
Absolutely, I have always used just sea-salt soaks on my piercing and have never had a problem and actually healed faster than most people. However, you must be sure to wash the area (maybe not the piercing directly) with an antibacterial soap, and if it's your tongue you will want to use an alcohol free mouthwash along with the salt soaks.

Can you use antiseptic for your ear piercing?
You shouldn't use peroxide or any type of alcohol on any piercing. They both kill everything that's helping your piercing heal and therefore delay healing time. You can use really gentle antimicrobial soaps about twice a week. More than that will dry out the piercing. The best thing to use is a mixture of natural sea salt and water. Put a pinch of natural sea salt into a shot glass of warm water and soak your piercing in that.

When cleaning a piercing does using uniondized salt hurt?
If you were to clean your piercing with salt by itself, it would certainly hurt! What people actually clean their piercing with is saline solution- a mix of sea salt and water. (A good ratio to use is 1 table spoon of salt per cup of water.) The saline solution itself should not hurt your piercing. However, sometime cleaning a piercing will irritate it. This may hurt, but the salt is not responsible.
