Cleaning my earrings and ears
I try to do this at least 2-3 times a month, depending what I did or if they’re for some reason irritating me, but now that summer is around the corner and that mean sweating, going to the pool or the beach so I’ll be cleaning them more often because who wants infected ears #Lemon8Diary #Lemon8 #earrings
Cleaning earrings and ears is crucial, especially as warmer weather approaches. Regular cleaning can prevent irritation and potential infections. Use a gentle antibacterial solution such as 91% Isopropyl Alcohol for optimal results. Simply soak a cotton ball or pad with the alcohol and gently wipe both your earrings and the area around your pierced ears. Make sure to pay attention to the back of the earrings where bacteria can accumulate. Additionally, consider swapping out earrings for non-allergenic options if you notice irritation. For those with sensitive skin, incorporating an alcohol-free antiseptic spray can be beneficial. Remember, after swimming or exercising, it's smart to clean your earrings to remove sweat and chlorine residue. Regular maintenance not only ensures your earrings remain sparkling but also keeps your piercings healthy throughout the summer season. Always test cleaners on a small area first to avoid adverse reactions, and if irritation persists, consult a professional.
