Nobody likes the pain or infections that can come after piercing your ears, or really at any point when you have pierced ears. This tip is so simple, yet extremely effective. Just combine a drop of tea tree essential oil with a little coconut oil in the palm of your hand, and apply it to your earlobes, gently rubbing the oil in. Apply the mixture, and let it sit for a few minutes before cleaning off and placing your earrings back in your ears.
