Hello Angela, silver acts like a disinfectant. I always moistened my silver earring with 70 percent alcohol and shortly afterwards the inflammation was gone. Dip it in the alcohol a few times a day. It can be different for everyone, so give it a try. Kind greetings from Germany💖

A lot of people aren't told cartilage piercings can take up to one year to heal. I have an industrial. Anyway, I suggest clean it with 70% rubbing alcohol or Bactine. Then coat both sides of the hole with Neospirin or Aquaphor, and move it back and forth to get it inside. It may also be the metal, so maybe switch the jewlery to sterling silver or white gold. I've had my industrial piercing for over a decade. Randomly, one end with flare up. I clean it with 70% rubbing alcohol & coat with Aquaphor, in a few days it's cleared up. I'm sorry this is happening to you, but don't yank it just yet there's solutions

For your ear, it's important that the earring fits snug so it's not moving back & forward. More importantly is that the earring does not get turned. Turning it while inflamed just aggravates or breaks the skin inside the hole. If it continues to break the healing skin it just causes pain and inflammation. I loved the 15 products u picked out but I would have to swap the mascara colour to black. I could not wear brown every day. 15 is still quite a lot of products but omg they are so important lol. Beautiful look on you as always. Hope ur well and appreciate all you do ♡♡♡

You picked 15 great products and you look beautiful and it looks so natural 👍✔️💯❗❣️

When i got my ear pierced i just kept using hydrogen peroxide on the ring in that ear. Also watch the hair products getting on thatcarea. I love your look today. I didn't start wearing makeup early but when i did i wear it everyday, and I'm 75 years old!

Love that!

I had similar issues healing a piercing in that spot! Something that helped a lot was sleeping with a neck pillow! Basically I would put my ear in the hole of the neck pillow so it wasn’t getting smushed while I sleep. Whatever you do, do not put anything on it except a medical saline solution. You can usually buy it with first aid stuff. Helix/flat piercings can take a while to heal so unfortunately patience is key. Good luck!

Blistex lip medex was a game changer for me and my cartilage piercings. Very soothing and very healing You just have to make sure you rinse them really well in the shower because it does start to crust up, but it’s literally the best

Hi Angela! My first cartilage piercings (I have 3 total and did the first 2 at the same time) took FOREVER to heal. The third one healed so much quicker. I believe it was for 2 reasons: the piercing parlor used a post earring, which I think just was less disturbed by combs, hair, and towels. The second is that I did saline washes twice a day. I just picked up a nasal spray saline wash (easier to get to the ear) and it helped a lot. My first ones took about 1.5-2 years to heal, the second one was 6 months tops.

@angelaabright

Ай бұрын

I do have a spray saline wash! I need to get better at using it more than once a day

I have 2 cartilage piercings, one I’ve had for about 10 yrs & it can still get irritated from time to time! It’s just a really tough piercing. Make sure to not touch it as much as possible, wash your hands before cleaning, & use soap & water, rinse well, then use saline or sea salt water, then dry, and use a q-tip to put on caster oil. You can also use warm chamomile tea bag compresses, they just ease some pain. Every piercing is different, so for me, I can have flat back or have them too tight, my studs need to breathe. I’ve also found that it can help me to use rubber backs, because I like silver jewelry & don’t want to spend $$ on real gold. Hope it gets better! I Love your eyeshadow looks, & you explain things well, so Thank You!!😊😊

Absolutely beautiful! If i could keep only my 15 favorite holy grail i use them religiously products. My choices would be 1. My laura geller best of the best basics full face pallet.it has highlighter, blush, bronzer, and 3 neutral eyeshadows in it. Its so beautiful and natural and glowy. I live in Florida i have dark hair and green eyes and tan so its perfect. 2. My baked balance and brighten foundation in medium. Also L.G 3. My spackle origional face primer. L.g i also have the hydrating but if i had to choose i would go with original. 4. My laura geller berry vanilla italian marbalized lipstick. So light pink and neutral and pretty. 5. My Vaseline cocoa butter lip therapy. Simple but i love it. 6. My L.A colors holographic iridecent pink lipgloss. Been using it for years . 7. St ives hydrate and glow watermelon face moisturizer. 8. My dove brown sugar exfoliating scrub. Wash my face every morning with it. 9. My cover girl brown brow pencil with spooly. 10. My all time favorite masacara maybeline lash sensational blackest black. 11. My laura Geller the dancing queen face pallet. I use two of the dar shades as eyeliner pretty much daily. And i love the mirror. 12. My vanilla bean ice cream chapstick. Simple lol but i grab it a lot. This is my top everyday favorite items i own / love to use! 2 are pallets so i didnt need 15. But yea fun idea! These are my favorite things. Enjoyed your video.

I am using up my face primer and I am going to stop using it too, I don't need this product in my life, doesn't do much for me anyway. I will replace with sunscreen. This is a refreshing video, I use less products myself nowadays and do not do full face anymore, full eyeshadow looks are less often as well. And I can't be bothered with lip liner either, give me a balm or tinted balm most days and I am a happy camper. Very nice look here.

I know one staple product for sure and it’s your palette . I’m on my 5th palette my clients love it and I wear it for my everyday look ❤

All the brushes I use are always in the description box ☺️

I have about 16 piercings and 12 of those are in my ears. Try changing the jewelry to a sterling silver. Typically that is the metal that piercers use when piercing. I also discovered that my cartilage piercings don’t agree with the same jewelry that my lobes are okay with and get angry easily, so yours might just be super picky. Also when I clean my piercings I use Bactine which is an antiseptic spray used to help clean and heal wounds. It can help clean and soothe the irritation. Hope this helps!💚

If my piercings are infected (my rook piercing gets infected every time I replace it) I put Terramycine + polymyxine B eye cream on it 2x a day (you don’t need a prescription where I live for this cream) It works like a charm 👌🏻 For the rest I just disinfect it a few times a day with diaseptyl

Piercing: Def get a piercing pillow and saline rinse. After that, use a topical cannabis product. Between my daughter's piercings and my chemo and radiation, we found that cannabis can't be beat. My radiation oncologist was shocked! So was my nursing team.

Yes!! Hi! ❤️

I have sensitive skin and several cartilage piercings. This is what I have always done with ones that needed extra care. First off, make sure the bar is long enough to accommodate swelling. Then make sure the metal is one that doesn’t cause irritation. Different metals work for different people and sometimes metal I can use for lobe piercings wont work in my cartilage piercings. Be careful with sterling silver, it can cause a silver “tattoo” and permanently tarnish your skin. My ears prefer steel or titanium. When they’re irritated I use liquid dial in a warm (not hot) shower to wash the piercing once a day or once every other day. After that I do sea salt soaks. Just dissolve sea salt in water (I don’t usually measure but when I did I believe it was a quarter to a half teaspoon sea salt to a of cup water), and either hold it on the piercing with a cotton ball or use a shot glass to form a seal against your ear. Soak for up to 20 minutes. I would try to do two salt soaks a day but usually I just did one. Also try not to sleep on the side that’s irritated until it’s done being irritated. Sometimes cartilage takes a year plus to heal. I have a rook piercing that was almost perfect after the initial healing but then almost a year later blew up. It’s fine now and has been for 10+ years. I find certain hair products or letting my hair go an extra day before washing can irritate these piercings as well. Good luck and hope it heals soon.

Castor oil for ear…apply lightly with Qtip

I always had massive issues with my cartilage piercing hurting and being irritated until I switched it to a hoop. Once I switched it from a stud to a hoop, I never had an issue with it. I also make sure that any jewelry I put in the piercing is real and not a fake material. Tbh, I don't switch the jewelry out much. I clean it in the shower and just let it do its thing so I think that has also helped it not to be irritated. I have an industrial piercing on my right ear and a cartilage on my left. The industrial caused me less pain than the stud in the cartilage and I had the cartilage piercing done the year before the industrial. Try a hoop though before you give up on it. I'm also shocked your 15th product pick wasn't half lashes.

Hi. Love the ideas. For your piercing - Dermacombin oint. You'll need a prescription. It works like magic.❤

I used saline water for all my piercings. Some I had 20 years now.

I'd recommend you to use twice a day alcohol 70 per cent or iodine disinfectant...I did my percing last septembre and I still wear the surgical steel earring....and last week my ear started to hurt. I wash the pearcing with hand soap everytime I wash my hair....and now I've retorned to alcohol and iodine everyday...😢

For those of us 50+ we NEED the Primer first!!!

I have a cartilage piercing that got like that after I had taken my earring out for a medical procedure, and then when I put it back in , it got angry. I almost took it out and said enough. I realized my earring had pinched a bit of the skin. Perhaps if you try a stainless earbob for a bit? Good luck. Sorry it's hurting. Oh, and hydrogen peroxide works great for any infection.

Yes!

I was 20 when I got my cartilage pierced. It hurt for 2 years, they did not pierce it on an angle and I couldn’t remove it for those 2 years, and a chunk of my skin came with it. I’m 41 now and I still have a bump behind that ear.

I have the same issue with my snug piercing. When I rinse it daily with a homemade salt water solution I have zero problems!

Back in the 80s I had my cartilage pierced at the time it was considered edgy and was not common place like it is today. After a many months it had not healed and was red and sore so I went to my gp hoping they could help, the gp took one look at it and said 'take the bloody thing out' he looked really annoyed like I was wasting his time.Eventually it did heal but I don't wear earrings in it now.

Hi Angela, try titanium piercings. I have my tragus and helix pierced and discovered I could only use titanium as it would not heal.

I use bactine on all mypeircings and itsgreat because it also has numbing in it

Angela, what lipstick would you pick?

Probably BK Beauty Grace

Angela, DO NOT USE ALCOHOL! Use sterile saline solution to clean area at least twice per day. You can also use a specialized piercing solution (Amazon etc.) Antibiotic ointment and warm compresses to affected area. If it oozes pus, blood, or a whitish discharge or a combination of these see doctor for assessment. Sometimes oral antibiotics are indicated so infection does not migrate into your system. Cartilage piercings can be more difficult to heal because of lack of blood flow there as opposed to lobe.

Cartilage piercings shouldn't be moved around, or touched, they should be cleaned with sterile saline. There's a spray version from Neilmed that's easy-to-use, and a q tip if you have to. Also the jewelry shouldn't be changed for at least 9 months, it takes ar least a year for cartilage piercings to heal. If it's that old, it could be your body reacting to the metal, titanium is your best bet, its a non-irritant. - Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk, lol.

I had zero luck with either cartilage piercing I had. I have curly hair and the hair would wrap around it. They never healed, were sore and oozy and I finally let both close up :(

21:36 YOUR LASHES FROM YOUR BRAND lol 😂❤

I switched to a ring instead of a stud on my cartridge piercing, and cleaned it twice a day with 70% Alcohol. However, it still took over a year to fully heal.
