HOW TO CLEAN YOUR PIERCING PROPERLY.

The key is not just cleaning your piercing, but cleaning it properly. Missing important details in the cleaning process can lead to slower healing.

  • Preparation:

    • Gather clean Q-tips and the piercing spray.
    • Wash your hands thoroughly before you begin.
    • Make sure you have everything you need within reach.

  • Cleaning Process:

    • Moisten a clean Q-tip with the piercing spray.
    • Gently clean around the piercing area, being careful not to rub too hard.
    • Remove any crusts or buildup until the area is clean.
    • Use a new Q-tip for each area to avoid spreading bacteria.

  • Deep Cleaning:

    • Clean both the front and back of the piercing thoroughly.
    • Check carefully to make sure no residue remains.

  • Environment:

    • Clean not only the piercing, but also the skin around it, as bacteria may also be present there.
    • Avoid touching or folding the area while cleaning to prevent irritation or infection.

  • Piercing Hygiene:

    • Never touch your piercing with your hands, even if they are clean.
    • Keep the piercing in its natural state during cleaning; avoid folding or manipulating it.
    • After washing your hands, make sure not to touch anything other than the spray and Q-tip.

  • Timing and Routine:

    • Perform your skin care or hair care routine before cleaning the piercing.
    • Clean the piercing after showering, as it will be easier to access and the warm water can help loosen any dirt.
