How to Choose the Ideal Nose Jewellery
Pay attention to your face shape
With nose jewellery, as with any other accessories, the contours of your face can dictate your personal taste. Here is a quick reference:
Round Faces: Wear longer, danglier pieces that give length.
Square Faces: Soft curves like hoops round out sharp angles.
Oval Faces: Lucky you! Just about any style will do.
Consider Your Lifestyle
If you are an active person, then choose something smaller and safer. You will need something that won't easily fall out or catch on something during movements.
How to Take Care of Nose Piercing
Aftercare First Timers
If you have finally decided to have a nose piercing, then aftercare is already crucial. Here are some reminders to follow:
Clean often: Clean the area tenderly with the saline solution or antiseptic provided for you by the piercer.
Do not touch or fiddle: Avoid touching or playing around with your new piercing because it will possibly infect you.
No Makeup: Avoid all makeup in the piercing area during the first few weeks.
Long-Term Care
Once you have healed and your piercing looks great, here is the important stuff:
Switch Jewellery: After a few months, switch out your jewellery for some new fun ones.
Keep it Clean: Continue to clean the area on occasion to not let buildup end up there.
Tune into Your Body: Pain, even chronic pain, is a sign that something is wrong. Get a professional piercer or doctor.
