Body Candy Are you unknowingly adding to your heal time?

 Self Love (n.) - being in love with every part of yourself - body & personality. Knowing that you are number one. 

Let's discuss some tricky things that might explain why your piercing just isn't healing the way you'd like:

Today's Topics:

Trauma: bumps, pokes, prods, snags... Any of these (yes, even as minimal as poking at your piercing) can cause added heal time

Sleeping on it: do your best to sleep on the opposite side of your piercing when applicable - if you absolutely must sleep on your side, invest in a travel donut pillow to keep your ear off the bed/pillow

Hygiene: it's very important to keep your piercing clean! We recommend a nice warm shower and a sterile saline spray once a day. You can actually over-clean your piercings though! Don't clean them so much that they dry out, which can have the opposite effect.

Jewelry: this one's more on your pro piercer, but sometimes the jewelry you were pierced with isn't right for your personal body; isn't the right size; or just isn't conducive to healing.

Medical Issue: if you think this is the case, you should definitely go visit your pro piercer ASAP! A hidden infection; debris caught in your piercing; or any sort of medical complication isn't worth ignoring.
