The habit of sleeping in earrings can cause unpleasant health consequences. A cosmetologist warned about this.

The specialist noted that many people are used to sleeping in earrings and hardly ever take them off, except for the purpose of wearing other jewelry. In addition, most people consider silver and gold to be materials that do not cause allergies, so they do not worry about the care of such accessories. The doctor explains that it is better to wash any earrings at least once a week.

You can soak them in a soap solution, use chlorhexidine or miramistin. Bacteria can accumulate in jewelry clasps, as well as holes directly on the ears. The doctor recommends wiping the holes of the latter with alcohol wipes.

Gold and silver also need washing. If possible, it is better to remove such jewelry at night in order to create fewer threats to the skin and reduce the risk of injury. Watch straps also need periodic disinfection.
