Next time you go to clean your ears, don’t think about using cotton swabs, bobby pins or anything you can stick inside your ears! Most of us are guilty of doing that, but we’ve been putting ourselves at risk for serious ear damage every single dig.
Keep foreign objects out of your ears and try safe and effective ways to clean your ears.
1. Saline Solution
Directions:
Mix 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 cup of warm water in a saucepan, mug or glass. Mix until the salt dissolves.
Soak a cotton ball in the mixture.
While sitting down, tilt your head sideways, with the ear you’re prepping to clean toward the ceiling.
Take your soaked cotton ball and squeeze a few drops in your ear, careful not to drown your ear.
Tilt your head to the opposite side and let the salt water run out.
Repeat steps on the opposite ear.
