Understanding Why Certain Earrings Greens Your Skin

Have you ever had engagement rings or a necklace that makes your skin greenish in color I’m sure you’ve been curious why it does that. Most Often ; your skin is reacting to basic metals to everyone who wears jewelry that is cheaper.
This occurs to some people more quickly than others<, though, because our individual chemical makeups are different.

Even the more expensive jewelry can turn you green too; because it’s not one hundred percent pure; no matter how much gold or silver is in it. Platinum rarely reacts with skin so no worries if you buy platinum jewelry. If you have gold jewelry and want to stop it from making your skin green be sure its not gold plated or gold rinsed jewelry – the base metal might be cheap and then covered with gold that will wear off. For ‘real’ gold jewelry switching to eighteen karat options will help keep green spots from showing up on your skin.
Jewelry made from copper will also turn your skin green and its hard to stop it.

Avoid wearing jewelry when you’re sweating a lot it can amplify the skin to metal reaction and also ask your jeweler if there is anything that he can coat the jewelry item with – to guard your skin from the reaction. If you can find something to keep the reaction to a minimum you should be able to wear your jewelry quite often. Keep in mind~ the green discoloration isn’t harmful. It’s a chemical skin reaction and not an allergy. Metal allergic reactions will make you red plus it could also make your skin feel itchy and inflamed. It’s not anything like green skin.
If you do get an allergy to a piece of jewelry stop wearing that right away. If all you have is green skin you are safe to keep wearing the jewelry you’ll just have to keep the area clean so it doesn’t look bad.

Truth be told applying a coating is generally your best choice.
