It’s all very well and good buying lovely and fun earrings to highlight your ears but earrings will only look good if you have taken good care of your ears.
You need to use proper hygiene and attention in order to prevent attention prevent infections, irritation, and physical damage. Some ways to ensure good practice in care of your earlobes include:
Limit Earring Weight: Avoid heavy dangling earrings for extended periods to prevent the piercing hole from stretching or tearing
Moisturize: Use gentle, fragrance-free lotions or natural oils (like jojoba oil) to keep the skin elastic and prevent dryness or cracking, especially if you have stretched lobes
Sun Protection: The skin on your lobes is delicate; apply a broad-spectrum, water-proof SPF 30 or higher daily to protect against sun damage and premature aging
Earlobe Repair: If you have severe stretching, a torn lobe (from a heavy earring or trauma), or large scar tissue (keloids), minor in-office surgical repair is a common option
And if you have just had a new ear piercing, you need to be extra careful as it takes a good 6 – 12 weeks to heal. Bearing in that in mind,
Clean Properly: Wash hands before touching your ears. Spray both the front and back of the piercing two to three times a day using a sterile saline wound wash
Do Not Twist or Remove: Leave the starter jewellery in 24/7 for at least six weeks. Do not twist, rotate, or move the jewellery unnecessarily, as this can irritate the healing tissue
Keep Dry & Avoid Pools: Gently pat dry with a clean paper towel after showering. Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, or natural bodies of water for at least four weeks to prevent infection
Skip Harsh Chemicals: Do not use rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or antibacterial ointments, as they dry out the skin and delay the healing process
Hope that helps and your earlobes can shine with the adornment of our fun and lovely earrings!

Welcome to my new blog. I recently started a business selling really fab and fun jewellery, predominantly earrings which are really reasonable to buy and I hope I can share them with you.
Well, as I sit here typing this it is pouring with rain outside which means it must be British summertime!! It isn’t cold….just wet but tomorrow the sun is due to shine and I have some lovely earrings to show you that are perfect for summer days and nights, whether at home or on holiday.
Take a look at these beautiful shell earrings:
They come on a silver coloured attachment, hypo- allergenic and easy to wear. I also always include small plastic backs that you can wear with these although I have to admit, I don’t wear backs with hanging earrings – but they are there if you should need them. The shells themselves are actual shells but the blue starfish is not real!! Just an added design feature to brighten up the whole effect. These are on sale on my website for just £5.99
But if you’re not into wearing some of the beach on your ears, what about these:
A definite nautical theme going on here. Perfect for going out boating on rivers or the sea and definitely have a summer feel to them. I love the vibrant blue colour on them. These are enamel with a silver coloured hanging and I sell for only £4.99 (free postage)
But maybe you want something a bit quirkier and I definitely have that to show you. How about the dangling blue flip flops (or thongs for you Aussies) or an ice cream cone or even a fab miniature version of the traditional rubber ring (available in three colours). All such fun to wear and only £5.99 (free post and packing).
If you love these, why not go along to my website and have a look at what else we have on offer. All earrings are 5.99 or less with FREE POSTAGE for the UK. I’m starting to think of summer and have a whole new range of summer and beach earrings but, for now, happy Spring and happy Easter!
There has to be something here to brighten up your summer days and if you can’t quite see what you are looking for, head over to my website www.helenlucyjeweller.com and take a look there – we have plenty more designs to share with you.
