Salt doesn't really make any different when cleaning infact I think it makes more dried skin to get stick on the bar. My side piercing is fine but the one closest to my eye is painful when pushed or touched I think this is because I accidentally sleep on it without realising. It's red but it has no lump around the piercing is it infected or is it just trying to heal?

The reason why the earring will stick to the skin and dry up because you're using too much salt. Cleaning it with warm sea salt water is the best way to clean your piercing, especially soaking it in a bowl for 5-10 min. Make-up wipes have alcohol in them, which irritates piercings, just stick to salt. H2Ocean is great, it's a little pricey but it has the right salinity and other ingredients essential for healing tissues. It's not infected, it's just irritated because you slept on it. An infection will have pain, lots of swelling, dark yellowish pus, and throbbing. Give it a sea salt soak and the redness and soreness will go away.
