Update on my piercing.

It’s almost two weeks now that my nose had been done and I can’t believe how well it is doing. It gets a quick sea salt soak in the morning and a more thorough soak in the evening when I’ve taken my make-up off and so far so good. I made the mistake with my ear rim of thinking that because sea salt is a natural product, cleaning it more often would help. Let me say now that it’s definitely a case of less is more. The extra cleaning dries your skin out, and mine is prone to being dry at the best of times, and it goes all red and shiny. Needless to say the instructions I got given from the piercing studio clearly states washing it twice a day but then let’s face it who ever reads the instructions for anything??? Must also learn to be patient with it, probably changed my BCR on my ear too early and it made it take longer to heal. Just wanted a barbell in it ‘cos it kept getting caught up, something I haven’t found with my nose as it’s a nose screw and quite discreet. Anyhow so far I’m really glad I had it done, these things are always far easier than you think they will be, wonder if I’ll be saying that about a tattoo someday ;-)
