Ear Wax Week – Day 3

Ear Wax Week – Day 3

Q-tips!

 

Using Q-tips to clean the ears is not recommended. The Q-tip pushes wax deeper into the ear canal preventing wax from moving out of the ear canal naturally. Q-tips may also stimulate the production of more wax, can irritate the skin or possibly damage the ear drum. Use Q-tips for cleaning the outer portion of your ear only!
