Every eyebrow piercing needs frequent care and cleaning so as not to infect the skin. For this, you have to wash the part regularly with the spray delivered by the studio professional on the day of drilling. Also, use saline solution to treat the skins, keep the jewelry clean during daily activities such as bathing, and take all other preventative measures so you don't get into trouble.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Washing the piercing frequently
Step 1. Wash your hands before cleaning the piercing
Never try to clean it without washing your hands with soap and water. Bacteria in the area can get into the jewelry.
- Wash your hands with soap and running water for 20 seconds. Sing "Happy Birthday" as you wash them to get a sense of time.
- Wash your hands thoroughly. Don't forget to apply the soap on your nails, between your fingers and on the backs.
Step 2. Use the spray you received from the studio professional
In most cases, just spray it on the jewelry three to six times a day to minimize the need to touch the area - and thus reduce the risk of infection.
- If you didn't get the pro's spray, buy one online or at another piercing studio in the area.
- Follow the spray package application instructions and call the professional if you have any questions.
Step 3. Use saline to treat the peels
Sometimes, the skin creates husks in the eyebrow region. Remove them immediately with the serum to avoid infections.
- Dissolve ¼ cup of sea salt in 1 cup of warm water. Then dip a cotton swab into the solution.
- Place the pad on top of the piercing for two or three minutes. It will dissolve bark buildup in the region.
Step 4. Do not soap the piercing
This is never a good option to clean the accessory, as the soap can cause irritation - especially in recent piercings. Just use the serum and spray.
Method 2 of 3: Keeping the piercing clean on a daily basis
Step 1. Do not use shampoo and soap near the eyebrows while showering
Be even more careful at this time and minimize the use of these products on your face. If you accidentally pierce them, they can irritate your skin.
- Tilt your head back when shampooing to avoid accidents.
- Wash your face with a mild liquid soap and don't let it get close to the piercing. You can also use baby wipes.
Step 2. Do not apply moisturizer or makeup on the piercing
These products can irritate or contaminate the jewelry. Makeup brushes in particular contain bacteria that pose health risks.
Try not to put on makeup for a few days after you pierce your eyebrows
Step 3. Adapt your bed to leave the piercing clean at bedtime
Use clean bedding, especially the pillowcase - even more so after you pierce your brow. Change the sheets more often during healing and try to sleep on the opposite side where you pierced to avoid contamination.
Method 3 of 3: Preventing Infections
Step 1. Follow basic hygiene rules
The best way to avoid infections is to optimize your immune system. For this, lead a healthy life, adopt a good diet and get plenty of sleep during the healing period. That way, your body will be more prepared.
Step 2. Do not get the piercing for the first six months
Otherwise you could cause an infection. Only change the jewelry after this period.
If you develop an infection, do not have the piercing yourself. While it looks productive, this will only make the situation worse. Go to the ER immediately and if you have to take the jewelry off, go back to the studio
Step 3. Do not swim during the healing period
Water bodies contain thousands of bacteria and piercing is subject to them during this stage of the process.
Step 4. Do not consume nicotine and alcohol
These products affect the immune system and prevent the body from fighting possible infections. Limit consumption as much as possible during the healing period.
