How do I take care of my lip piercing?

I got a side lip piercing on Friday. My piercer instructed me to clean the outside with orange dial antibacterial soap and the inside with listerine mouth wash three times a day. However, I keep hearing all these other ways that you are suppossed to clean it and to be honest I'm confused as heck. What IS the right way to clean it? Some people say not to use antibacterial dial soap and others say to use sea salt and vice versa. So far I think it is doing alright. It's a little swollen and it really doesn't hurt. But yeah, how should I clean it?How do I take care of my lip piercing?
Listerine isn't as good of an idea to use as a NON alcohol based mouthwash. its fine if you're diluting it, but really non alcohol is better. you SHOULD be rinsing with mouthwash after everything you eat or drink, and if you smoke after every cigarette.





you SHOULD be using sea salt to rinse with as well as rinsing with mouthwash. it helps pull out impurities. this should be done 2-3 times a day





washing with the antibacterial soap is fine. Some people prefer other things, such as antimicrobial soap (personally I use an antimicrobial soap called Provon to clean my piercings)





how about a list of things that you should NOT do?


NO alcohol, peroxide, or triple antibiotic agents. These are too harsh for your piercing. They're antibacterial, but they also kill the cells that your body is trying to make to heal.





NO neosporin or other similar creams. neosporin specifically says on the package not to use it on puncture wounds, and that is what a piercing is. creams of any kind will also cut off oxygen to your piercing and give bacteria a place to hide.





DO NOT mess with your jewelry no matter how tempting it is...whether its playing with it with your tongue or touching it with your hands...you're going to put stress on the piercing and slow down healing.

How can you tell when a Taurus man really cares for you? They are so tight-lipped!?

He sends mixed signals - implying wanting a future together, but when asked directly, he plays ignorant! I am not crazy, desperate or imagining things! I KNOW what he says to me - why does he seem afraid? We have a wonderful time together and I believe it is a strong mutual attraction. I'm in no rush, but would like to know if I should open my heart to him and continue this any longer. He could very easily be ';the one'; for me - we have so much in common and it's fireworks when we're out with each other.How can you tell when a Taurus man really cares for you? They are so tight-lipped!?
we're emotional. if he asks you to marry him, or gets you pregnant on purpose, he loves you.

    Hope this all helps and if you have any questions or comments feel free to email meNude lips, flirty lashes, fake tanners and hair care?
    Have you checked out Arbonne's products?





    Their f.y.i. line has GREAT tinted lip glosses, AND make up to match. You can even use their virtual makeover to check out how the colors go together with your hair and skin tones!





    As for lashes... just take it easy on the mascara. Clumps and gunk are for raccoons, so be gentle and put it just on the ends of the lashes, not all the way to the lid. It'll get too heavy next to your eyes, taking all the credit, instead of letting your eyes shine through.





    As for your hair, you need something that can repair damage, pH balance and something gentle that will make your hair feel fab every single day without a ton of other products. Try Arbonne's Intelligence shampoo and conditioner. I LOVE this stuff and have NEVER had healthier hair! And I swim, and have long curly hair. The breakage is done, the dull and dryness is gone. I love it.





    Arbonne's also has a self-tanner. Be VERY careful on tanners, you can end up streaky and orange. Use something that's more natural (Arbonne) and not something that is meant to dye your skin. That stuff is just rotten. use something that enhances your skin, and again, try Arbonne.
    1. i like benefits gloss in corsage, it looks dark pink but goes on and looks pretty natural.





    2. benefit again...bad gal lash, or on a cheaper note neutrogena's mascara has no clumps.





    3. loreal has a leave in conditioner that is really lightweight (don't put on your roots though that'll make it look greasy) i've been using it after i use the target brand of pantene (shamp/cond)





    4. loreal again, i like their continuous spray tanner. i've also used the mystic tan at the tanning place and that works well too...just avoid the beach with the fake tans, i know from experience...eeek.
    try using redken for the hair, mac for the lips, and just go to a tanning salon they'll help tremendously

    Caring for a new lip piercing?

    Hey guys, I got my lip ring pierced on Saturday (Two days ago) and I have some questions about caring for it.





    1) How long should I use salt + water for to keep my piercing clean? At the moment I am just gargling and moving the water to around the front of my mouth and then spitting the water out.





    2) How long does it generally take to ...A) Stop hurting when rotating the ring, and be generally painless when you change jewlery





    b) Completely heal





    Is it safe for the skin around the bottom of my piercing (on the outside of my face) to look like the skin is peeling, or is about to peel? The colour is kind of yellow, though when it is dry it goes hard, like a scab.





    Can It get infected from over cleaning, as in, washing my mouth and my face pretty much after every meal of the day





    Can it take longer to heal from over cleaning, moving the piercing around (Forwards and sidewards)?





    Thank you for your help in advance and I look forward to hearing from anyone who will be willing to respond.





    Oh, and by the way, I have not posted this question to be told that I should take them out, so I will be able to get a better job than flipping burgers. So please do not say that. Thanks!Caring for a new lip piercing?
    1) the recommended healing time for a lip piercing is about four months, and you should really keep it up for the whole healing period to ensure the best result and promote faster healing, plus it wil ward off infection.


    2)Is different for everybody. Took mine about 4 weeks, but I've have friends whove taken longer/shorter. It also depends on how well u look after it. If it does get a little irritated the sea salt sould calm it down, just make sure u aren't using too much salt in the water or it can 'burn' the piercing wound. Complete healing is again different for everybody. Four months is recommended.





    It's normal for the skin around to appear to be pealing, yes. My snake bites did this for about six weeks after I had them done, and my munroe did the same. I checked with my piercest when it first happened and she informed me it was the white blood cells vacating the wound as it healed. If your really concerned, however, u can always talk to ur piercest.





    Cleaning it after every meal is a good idea to make sure nothing's stuck, but if you just rinse with water and properly clean it twice a day that's generally enough to ward off infection. Over cleaning can lead to irritation. Moving the piercing a lot can hinder the healing process, yes. So be aware of that.Caring for a new lip piercing?

    for curing acne and all your skin problems
    You should continue using salt water to clean your piercing until it doesnt hurt any more, for me it was 2-3 works to stop hurting when i rotated it. Its going to hurt regardless when you change it because your moving the skin around inside of it. Your skin is dry and peeling around it because of the salt water, which is normal. The scabbing is because your body is trying to heal itself. It wont take longer to heal by cleaning and moving it your suppose to keep doing that to prevent your body from closing it.
