Actually, you shouldn't really use Q-Tips as it pushes the wax back in.
What you can do is wash with soap and dry well, to prevent the oily appearance. But you can also use the Q-Tip there.
As for the inside, you should use your nail every day to remove the wax, after the shower for instance (your nails will be clean, and then you can wash your hand again). I know it sounds gross, but that's what my doctor told me.
He said that using Q-Tips leads to the wax getting accumulated inside your ear, and that what causes problems.

you should not clean your ears out with a q-tip because the fibers on the ends can build up in your ear and cause the war was to become more resistant. Use the end of a towel or washcloth as soon as you get out of the shower. Some fibers will be lerft behind but fewer than with a q-tip.

As soon as someone gets out of the shower is the best time and the most appropriate. Clean ears as often as possible.

I do it every morning after my shower. And any other time I get my head wet. I used to get really bad ear infections as a kid.

No i do no longer use Q-Tip swabs to scrub my ears. you're actually not meant to place something into your ear it particularly is smaller than your pinky. Q-Tip swabs can help eliminate the wax boost on your ears, yet they are able to additionally push the wax in deeper. I observed this on an episode of the Dr. oz..coach.

Well i'm not a doctor but I do it after everytime that I shower... it prevents wax build up and cleans easier when my ears are wet.

my doctor told me not to clean my ears, because you need that wax to protect your ears. But my ears arent excessively waxy, if yours are then I would reccomend like once a week maybe?

I do it after every shower, even if nothing comes out. That makes me happy.
