Cleaning skin around piercings?

[Tahti]

I recently got my nose pierced, and to cut a long story short, I find it quite difficult to wash my face with abandon now ><;
The skin around my nose tends to get oily and it needs to be exfoliated quite a bit, but I can't really wash the skin around the piercing now...
Obviously I'm cleaning the piercing but the skin on my nostril looks pretty mank. Anyone with a nose piercing offer advice? ;/

Well, is it still healing? I suggest keeping all face products away from it, although I'm sure you already know this xD

If not, just be more gentle around the nose ring/stud, and clean around it last of all, then use a cotton bud to get rid of any excess gunk around ze nose stud/ring and then clean it with whatever solution you use to clean

once it's all healed up all the way through washing with wild abandon isn't as hard anymore

also, if you want to exfoliate your nose you could use fine non-iodized sea salt and then just rinse it away, it wouldn't be a tragedy if you got a bit on your piercing, although you'll still want to avoid a lot of contact as being undiluted it could dry out your piercing...but all the same, probably not as bad as a chemical wash with exfoliants for now

Have yout tried using a wash face cloth to exfoliate your nose - just use your finger in the cloth and rub round and round til it glows lol - that way you can avoid hitting your piercing.
