Ear Lobe Tape/Invisible Ear Lobe Support Patch for Heavy Earrings (Pack of 30)

    

Knowing how to carry out ear lobe stretching correctly can help save you from a great deal of pain and grief, because if carried out the wrong way, stretching earlobes can damage your ears.

Ear lobe stretching, also known as ear lobe gauging or earlobe stretching, is a very old practice used by old civilizations as a status symbol or for religious reasons. It was not just restricted to earlobes and was applied to lips, tongues, and other parts of the body, sometimes to monumental levels. The same basic technique is used in each case, irrespective of the part of the body concerned.

Most ear lobe stretching, or gauging, is followed by ear jewelry designed to fit the expanded hole in the lobe. These can be traditional earrings, hanging decorations or even flesh tunnels designed to emphasize the hole through the ear lobe. These can be made of plastic or metal, and often gold since it is a non-allergenic metal.

The first stage is to have your ears pierced in the normal way, although if you intend to stretch the piercing then it is strongly advised that you have the initial piercing carried out by a professional who can pierce your ear to 16 gauge, or 1.2-1.3 mm. The actual millimeter equivalents of the various gauging can vary between sources, but most non-pros can pierce to gauge 20 - 18 (0.8 - 1.0 mm). Needle piercing is preferred to a gun if you intend to stretch it.

Body Scrubber Exfoliator Mitt for Use at Shower or Bath - Exfoliating Body & Face Dead Skin Remover

       

As your skin ages the turnover time of your skin slows down. You just don't build new skin as fast as before, but if you remove the dead and damaged cells you stimulate the production of new healthy cells and tissues. This will give you better and healthier skin.

Look at a kid at the pool. The water seems to pearl and the skin seems to naturally reject this excess water and keep itself dry. This is good. Why? Well, many reasons. Here are a few:

• The water is not pure but polluted. You don't want it on or in your skin.

• The water contains chlorine. Chlorine has no health benefits for your skin. If it had you would find it in skin care products, but you don't.

• The water has more minerals than your skin needs and these minerals tend to absorb moisture. Moisture is not added by keeping your skin wet. Ask any nurse that washes her hands all day long. They get dry.

On a daily basis, you could benefit use a body scrubber, a glove, or any material that supports exfoliation and skin massage. Many herbalists promote increased circulation and without covering the subject of natural healing and living you can with extended benefits give your skin a good massage every time you shower.

Again, when you stimulate exfoliation you stimulate the production of new and healthy cells and tissues. This is what you want.

Afterward, while your skin is still damp after the shower you lock in that moisture and add nutrition by the use of a skincare cream that absorbs and infuses nutrition into your skin.

Use a Scrub that won't wash of and dissolve first thing. Salt and sugar scrubs might do that. Some scrubs are much too harsh. On the other hand scrubs with polyethylene (plastic beads) won't dissolve and you can gently exfoliate for a long time. A scrub that won't dissolve right away can even be moved from one area to another after you're done with the first area. Get hold of a scrub that lasts.

Finish scrubbing your face and drag the leftover down to the neck and upper body. What is bad body odor but the build-up of waste products over a short or long time? Scrub your body really well many times per week and you will soon feel very fresh and your skin will just stay cleaner because of the polished surface.
