Lip piercing after care??

What can be used to clean a pierced lip? I can't buy anything anytime soon, and all I have is hydrogen peroxide, neosporin (I heard not to use that), old ear piercing aftercare stuff from wal mart, Dial, mouthwash, and that's like it. Any suggestions? Thanx.Lip piercing after care??
You can use Neosporin. Not the peroxide though, that including anything with alcohol in it will dry out your piercing.





Wash your hands first then your piercing twice a day with Dial and very warm water. It's easier to do in the shower, where the steam will help to loosen crust on your piercing. After meals and snacks use alcohol free mouthwash to get rid of food that may stick to the piercing.


Do this for about 6 or so weeks, then reduce this routine down to once a day. Overcleaning will hurt it more then help it to heal.





Do salt soaks once a day. Place 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt in a disposable cup of warm water. Place cup over the piercing or take a cotton ball and place it on the peircing for about 10 minutes.Lip piercing after care??
Yeah watch out for the alcohol mouthwash.





And also if you have a piercing retainer i suggest you keep that in when you sleep .
Make sure the mouth wash is alcohol free, and use dial on the outside of the piercing.
