Fashion is something that everyone can often refer to, be it a man, a woman, or a child. One of the longest fashion trends for both sexes is surface piercing. Body piercing can be discarded right up to the beginning of humanity, from ancient Egyptians with elongated ear lobes and lower lips, to decorative tribal piercings and similar body configurations. Although these civilizations have mainly used piercings and are stretched for spiritual and cultural purposes, you can see these same trends in today's society as a form of fashion.
Today we have the technology and medicine to ensure that surface piercings are safe; however, it is up to you that your punctured skin remains in good condition during treatment. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is neglect after piercing. You not only have to keep your piercing clean and intact, you also need to protect it from excessive heat and sun exposure. This includes taking certain precautions when tanning, whether in bed or in the sun. Keep reading to find out how to protect your new piercing surface during tanning.
Surface piercing
Surface piercings are different from traditional ones because they do not go all the way through the skin and on the other side; as well as navel and navel piercings. Surface piercings are often visible on the face, upper lip or cheek. They are also often found on abdominal canvases, hands, etc.
It is important to protect the usual pier areas when they are new, but surface piercings require even more attention when tanning. Basically, you’ll handle surface piercings the same way you would if you had a regular tan, but it’s important to really take extra precautions so that it doesn’t get infected.
What to do:
If your piercing is very new, you should avoid sunburn and exposure to the sun. Wait at least a week before tanning to ensure there is no infection as a result of the actual destination. If you have to get a sunburn around your punctured skin, it will take even longer to heal the piercing, as well as cause pain and discomfort, as well as permanent scars. It also gives you a higher risk of infection after the piercing.
If you have a superficial or regular piercing, the first step to take before tanning is to thoroughly clean the area. Use antibacterial soap, clean water and a clean cloth to remove dirt or germs. Instead of soap, you can also use antiseptic liquids, such as hydrogen peroxide or alcohol.
After it is clean, make sure that you do not have sunscreen, suntan lotion or oil near the area. It can also cause infection, pain, swelling and discomfort.
To avoid infection with sunburns and products, cover the punctured skin with a bandage. Just make sure that the glue from the dressing does not get into the hole of your piercing. For even more safety, think of a dressing with a dressing with another dressing, such as medical gauze or a clean dishcloth. In fact, it is recommended for large surface piercings.
