Have you ever had engagement rings or a necklace that makes your skin greenish in color you’ve probably wondered why that happens. Basically ; there is a reaction caused by basic metals to people who wears inexpensive jewelry.
It happens to some faster than others- though, because our bodies are all unique.
Even the more expensive jewelry can turn people’s skin green~ because it’s not totally pure- regardless of cost. Platinum rarely reacts with skin so you shouldn’t have to worry if the stuff you wear is 100% platinum.
To try to stop gold jewelry from turning your skin green make sure that you don’t have made from cheap metal and then plated – the base metal might be cheap and then covered with gold that will wear off. For ‘real’ gold jewelry choosing a higher karat only can help reduce the marks that are left on your skin. Copper jewelry will almost always turn your skin green and theres really nothing to be done.
Avoid wearing jewelry when you’re sweating a lot it can amplify the skin to metal reaction you can also get a special coating put on – to minimize the amount of green reaction your skin has. If you do this you should be able to wear your jewelry quite often.
Remember<, the green effect won't hurt you. It's simply a reaction and not an allergic reaction.
Metal allergic reactions causes reddening plus it could also make your skin feel itchy and inflamed. Which is a far cry from the green skin that you see from jewelry.
If you do get an allergy to a piece of jewelry stop wearing that right away. If it’s only turning your skin green you can certainly continue wearing it as long as you like you’ll just have to keep the area clean so it doesn’t look bad.
Truth be told coating your jewelry is probably the answer.
