First time nose piercing... after care???
Ok so tomorrow I am going to get my nose pierced and I have been reading up on the aftercare and it seems like its very hard to take care of, but maybe im getting it wrong.
On sunday im going to be camping for an entire week (in a small cabin), don't tell me to wait because i can't and i am not-- i will still have access to electricity and plumbing...showers...etc...
i was just wondering what precautions i should take and i have a few other questions too.
1) do i have to cover it with a bandage in the shower? thats what i have hear?
2) i use clinique liquid mild soap to wash my face, should i not use that anymore after i get it pierced?

The only thing you need to ensure a healthy piercing is sea salt water. Just make sure to make yourself a warm sea salt soak that contains 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt and 8 ounces of warm water, you can clean the surface of the piercing w/ a qtip or cotton ball. For the nose piercing cleanse the area atleast 2 times a day. Do not place a bandage while in the shower since rinsing with water and non scented soap like Dial will help cleanse the piercing also, with the different chemicals in the clinque product its best if you refrain from cleansing the piercing site until its healed which can take btw 3-6 months. Good Luck.
