Have you ever had engagement rings or a necklace that makes your skin greenish in color you've most likely asked yourself why that happens. Most Often ; your skin is reacting to basic metals to everyone who buys cheap jewelry.
The greening can occur to some people more quickly than others- though, because everyone's composition is just a little bit different.
Even the more expensive jewelry can have the same effect~ because it's not one hundred percent pure~ regardless of cost. Platinum rarely reacts with skin so no worries if you buy platinum jewelry.
To keep gold jewelry reacting to your skin make sure that you don't have made from cheap metal and then plated – its a cheaper metal with a thin gold layer that will wear off. For 'real' gold jewelry switching to eighteen karat options will lower your chances of green skin. Jewelry made from copper will green your skin and you'll have to just accept that if you wear copper.
Stay away from sweating in your jewelry because that can speed up the reaction between your skin and the metal you might also ask your jeweler if they can add a layer of protective coating – to minimize the amount of green reaction your skin has. If you can find something to keep the reaction to a minimum you can wear inexpensive jewelry whenever you want. Remember; the green discoloration isn't harmful. It's simply a reaction and not allergies.
Allergies will causes reddening and also will make your skin inflamed and itchy. Which is a far cry from a green skin reaction. If you do show signs of allery stop wearing the jewelry. Green skin shouldnt scare you ore keep you from wearing your favorite pieces you may just have to clean your skin more to avoid having it look bad.
At the end of the day applying a coating is generally your best choice.
