This helps it heal fast and stay away from ouchies like infections. These are easy steps for everyone, even kids. Always listen to your g piercer's special tips too. If your piercing gets super red, puffy, leaky, or you feel hot and sick, tell a doctor right away!

Stuff You'll Need
- **Base Labs Piercing Aftercare Spray** (this is a super gentle saline spray that’s perfect for cleaning and keeping your piercing happy! It’s easy to use and helps it heal fast.)
- **Goat Milk & Pure Honey Soap** (this is a mild, fragrance-free soap specially made for piercings—it's awesome because the goat milk is super gentle and moisturizing to keep your skin soft, while the pure honey fights germs and helps your piercing heal quicker without any irritation!)
- Soft cotton sticks or clean cloths
- A fresh towel

Step-by-Step Daily Care (Do This Every Day!)
1. **Wash Your Hands First!**
Use ** Backstage Goat Milk & Pure Honey Soap** to make your hands super clean. No dirty fingers near your piercing!

2. **Clean It Twice a Day** (Once in the morning, once at night):
- Splash warm water on it to wash away any crusty bits. Be gentle!
- Use ** Backstage Goat Milk & Pure Honey Soap** to make a soft lather, gently clean around the piercing, then rinse well with warm water.
- Spray **Base Labs Piercing Aftercare Spray** directly on your piercing and let it soak for 5-10 minutes. It’s like a cozy bath for your piercing!
- Dry it softly with a paper towel or just let the air dry it. Don’t use a regular towel—it might have sneaky germs!

3. **Don’t Twist or Play With It!**
Only move the jewelry when you’re cleaning. Twisting it can make it grumpy and sore.

Things to Stay Away From
**No Swimming Fun Yet:** Wait 4-6 weeks before jumping in pools, lakes, or bubbly tubs. The water has stuff that can bug your piercing!
- **Hands Off!** Keep your fingers and hair away so it doesn’t get irritated.
- **No Gooey Stuff:** Skip makeup, creams, or lotions near it—they can block it up.
- **If It’s in Your Mouth (Like Tongue or Lip):** No drinking grown-up drinks, smoking, or eating super spicy or sour foods for 2-4 weeks. Be nice to your mouth!

-How Long Until It’s All Better? (It Takes Time!)
- Ear lobes: About 6-8 weeks (like waiting for summer break!)
- Nose or ear top: 2-4 months (a few seasons)
- Tongue or lip: 4-8 weeks
- Belly button: 6-12 months (almost a whole year!)

Everyone heals differently, so be patient like waiting for your favorite show. If something feels weird, ask your piercer at Backstage. Keep it clean with **Base Labs Piercing Aftercare Spray** and **Goat Milk & Pure Honey Soap**, and soon you’ll be showing off your cool piercing! High five! 🖐️
