At Body Creations we tell you how to care for your body piercing both verbally or in writing.  Bath or shower as usual and wash the pierced area – the external area – with a mild fragrance-free liquid soap.  Finish with a complete rinse of the area with clear, running water.  After bathing or showering is a great time to apply your Emu Oil.  Remember Emu Oil is highly concentrated and takes very little for each application.

It is very important to remember not to touch your unhealed piercing with dirty hands.  Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your unhealed piercing.  Failure to do so can result in infection.  If there is any crusty matter around your piercing, remove it with a cotton swab and warm water.  Do not remove the crusty matter dry because it can cause more injury to your piercing.  In other words, do not use your fingernails to remove any dried matter around your piercing.  The best time to remove any dried matter around your piercing is during bathing and showering or immediately after when the crust is liquified and can be easily removed.

Carefully massage a small drop of Emu Oil on the tissue around the piercing with a clean finger or Q-Tip.  It is not necessary to rotate the jewelry back and forth when using Emu Oil.  Moving the jewelry back and forth through the piercing increases your chances of infecting the piercing with bacteria that may be located on the jewelry.  Apply Emu Oil Twice a Day.

When healing a body piercing, patience is a real virtue.  Each person is unique and healing times can and probably will vary.  Regardless of the stated healing time for your piercing, if the piercing is tender or still secreting, continue your aftercare regimen even if it is after the usual healing time.

If you have questions about your body piercing or aftercare, even if you are not a client of ours, please gives us a call 623-934-9964 or drop by the Body Creations  studios on Northern Ave. or Bell Road location in Glendale, AZ.

Very often the risks of using old fashion makeup is overlooked or not understood. A ton of bacteria covers tissues, cotton balls, sponges or brushes used to apply makeup the old fashion way. Spraying makeup is a clean method of application and clean up only takes soap and water.

Mixing colors is a huge advantage of airbrushing your makeup. It is very easy to blend color by adding a few drops to match shades that you like. Mixing foundation shades allows you the ability to match any skin tone, select a perfect lip color, or maybe you want to create a custom eye shadow color.

Most people select to have permanent makeup do so for its beauty enhancement and convenience.  However, there are many other reasons for its use, such as:

• Alopecia sufferers who can lose their eyebrows and lashes
• People experiencing arthritic conditions finding it difficult to apply regular makeup
• A person who has allergies that reacts to makeup
• People who are seriously involved in sports
• Covering up skin issues caused by nature, trauma or accidents

What ever your reason to consider permanent makeup,  contact Debbie (623-910-5415) to schedule a consultation.

Here are some facts about these piercings and aftercare tips.  First thing people ask about the nostril piercing is if there is any “social meaning” for one side of the nose over the other.  No, there is not any “meaning” on one side or the other.  Placement of the jewelry from one side to the other is primarily determined by existing facial or ear jewelry.  People are trying to achieve balance more than anything else.  They don’t want one side of their face to look heavy with excessive jewelry, so they look for balance.  The primary thing to watch after a nostril piercing is sleeping on the piercing so that it irritates the tissue around the piercing causing a bump around the jewelry.  You can usually get rid of the bump by avoiding the activity that is irritating the tissue and hot sea salt soaks.

Lip piercings will swell on the inside of your lip after the piercing.  You should get pierced with jewelry that is big enough to accommodate the swelling.  For instance a labret will stick out awkwardly from your lip after the piercing.  When swelling begins the jewelry is long enough so the jewelry will not pull into the lip.  After the swelling goes down, generally 4 to 7 days, you want to have the labret post changed to a shorter length.

As always if you have any questions about your piercing, call us at 623-934-9964.  Stay tuned for the next post where I will continue discussing facial  body piercings.

When considering laser hair removal, the first thing a person wants to know is how quickly does the hair disappear?   Then people want to know if all the hair goes away.

There are some basic factors that affect the results of hair removal.  The most important consideration is your skin type.  Different skin tones will have various results.   For instance, light skin is the best skin type for laser hair removal.

The best determining consideration, if you have medium skin, is the color of your hair.  A medium skinned person may need more treatments that a light skinned person.

A dark skinned person may need more treatments than a medium skinned person.

When considering the true benefits of laser hair removal, it is very important to consult with Debbie (623-910-5415).  Understanding what you can expect makes a better experience with your hair removal.  This is why it is so important to work with a well-trained, experienced practitioner to experience maximum results.
