We all have things we do on a daily basis to maintain our own standards of personal hygiene.
Others have to be reminded to wash the area behind our ears.
While it may not exactly be difficult to reach, its position makes it easy to ignore.
What happens, then, if we simply forget about the backs of our ears?
“There’s no need to clean your ears with a cotton bud,” says Dr.
Rob Hicks (viaSmithsonian Magazine).
“The ear has its own internal cleaning mechanism.
Fats and oils in the ear canal trap any particles and transport them out of the ear as wax.
This falls out of the ear without us noticing.”
