Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Kerri, I'm at Zebra in Berkeley and I'm here to tell you how to clean your eyebrow piercing. Before cleaning your eyebrow piercing you're going to want to make sure that your hands are nice and clean, so wash them with antibacterial soap. your hands are the dirtiest part of your body and you don't want to introduce any foreign bacteria to your brand new piercing. The first thing you're going to want to do is use some kind of antibacterial cleaner, such as antibacterial soap or benzalkonium cloride is what we sell here. When using this product, you're going to want to use a fresh, brand new clean Q-tip, put the product on the Q-tip if you're using antibacterial soap you'll want to soap up the end of the Q-tip, put that on the top and the bottom of your eyebrow piercing and kind of work it around. After the solution or the soap sits on there for at least thirty seconds, you're going to want to wash it off with plain water. You can again use a Q-tip to do this or you can splash it off. After killing the bacteria, you're going to want to remove any dry matter and the best way to do this is by giving it a soak first. Take a small cup, or container, some people use a shot glass, warm water, you can use tap water or distilled water. Distilled water is better but tap works fine. One pinch of sea salt of Epsom salt, mix it up, bend your face over and give it a bath. Once a day, fifteen minutes. You'll want to keep up that whole cleaning regimen for at least six to eight weeks."
