While we all love to wear long and heavy earrings, we end up torturing our ear lobes. Let’s admit it, most of us tend to buy earrings without actually considering their weight. It doesn’t matter when it comes to small hoops or studs, but heavy ones like dangles or chandeliers can give you extremely hard times, especially to those who have sensitive skin.
1. Alternating is the key
If you’re planning on wearing heavy jhumkas, back to back. We advise you to give it a rest. Say you have 6 back to back events, there’s puja, dinner party, Mehendi, sangeet, haldi and finally wedding, we suggest brides-to-be to avoid wearing heavy earrings for two consecutive events. Space it out and give your ears some time to recover and rest.
2. Stick To The Real Deal
Try and stick to gold or silver where possible. Artificial jewelry can cause irritation and/or infection to those with sensitive skin.
3. Tapes For Your Lobes
This is a savior for people who have big ear holes and find it difficult to wear heavy earrings. These invisible stickers are supposed to be stuck to the back of your ear hole to help support them. You can easily find them on Amazon.
4. Ditch The Pain
Stud style earrings are a classic, so if your ears are a bit sensitive, go for tinier earrings and a heavier mathapatii or necklace and style it
5. Numbing Cream
If you are into wearing heavy earrings now and then, then keep a mini tube of numbing cream in your purse. This cream numbs the skin around the piercing, thus making you not feel the weight of the earrings.
