Now For Something Different

I'm taking time out from talking about food (and my new kitchen) to talk about ear stretching! Why? Well because I'm going up a size! A few of my friends have asked me alot about the process, so I decided to d a blog post about it!

Nowadays jewellery is used by both men and women. That has resulted to jewellery stores becoming very famous. People buying these types of jewellery use them on various occasions. They are affordable and they are also liked by people. Some of the jewellery used by people are ear gauges, necklaces, earrings and even rings. Nowadays, ear gauges are used to lengthen the ear lobe. They are really beginning to take effect to both men and women. They are liked since they are affordable and look attractive too. The online buying and selling has also made things really easy. This is because people are able to get these items more easily and at affordable prices too.

The beauty in them has resulted to more people increasing their piercing size so that ear gauge jewellery can fit in properly. They only fit in wider holes unlike the others that are used with earrings. However; the style in which it is put on depends on the individual. Some prefer gauging it down and others prefer gauging it up.

The gauges are usually made of plastic or metals. Others are further decorated to look better using diamonds making them look spectacular. Gold is also used giving the ornament some glamour. Many people are considering piercing their ears so that they may be able to use the ornament. However,before piercing your ears, it is advisable for you to consult a professional to do that for you since inexperienced people can result in causing harm to you than good.

Needle piercing is more preferable to gun piercing since it heals faster and is also less painful. It should take between 6-10 weeks to heal. It may need a lot of patience to have the end product but immediately you get there; your friends and mates will be dying of envy.

How to take care of ear gauge

If you have gauged your ear, it is important that you regularly clean it. It is not advisable to let dead skin form and pile up and then fall. A funny smell will develop and it is very disgusting. Use mild soaps to clean the area.

a) Remove the plugs and clean them using mild liquid soap and warm running water and make sure you rub them properly.

b) Ensure there is no dead skin left on the gauge and then rinse them well using warm water. Then dry them with a clean towel.

c) For the ear gauges that are made of horn, wood or bone, you can use jojoba oil to cleanse them the more. Use a piece of clean cloth, pour some oil on it and then wipe it all over carefully leaving no dead skin. Make sure you clean both the inside and outside.

d) Lather your hands with soap and water and rub then both inside and out .Lubricate it and put it back to your well dried ears.
