  • How To Clean Your Piercing

    Clean your piercing three times a day with salt water or antiseptic mouthwash. In the case of a tongue or lip piercing, your piercer may recommend a particular kind of solution, but in most cases, salt water will do.

  • Dont Over clean Your Piercing

    Three times a day should be plenty to clean your piercing; any more than that may dry out the skin and increase the risk of infection. If there is no infection present, limit using antiseptics. However if you do, your body may mistakenly believe the piercing itself is the infection and begin to reject it. Once this happens, it is impossible to stop, so be careful when using cleaning products.

  • Dont Mess With Your Piercing

    Avoid touching your piercing and especially resist twisting or pushing it around. Because the portion of the piercing within your body is clean. If you do you run the danger of putting dirt into the healing piercing, which could cause an infection. Just make an effort to let it heal on its own.
