Have you ever had engagement rings or a necklace that leaves a greenish in color spot on your skin you’ve probably wondered what causes it. Usually <, it's a reaction to the metal in the jewelry to anyone who buys and wears low cost jewerly.
Skin greening can happen to some people more quickly than others<, though, because our individual chemical makeups are different.
Even jewelry you pay more for can turn people's skin green<, reason being it's not one hundred percent pure<, no matter how much gold or silver is in it. Platinum is a safe choice as it almost never reacts with skin so no worries if you own platinum jewelry.
To keep gold jewelry making you look green make sure that you don’t have gold plated or gold rinsed jewelry – the base metal might be cheap and then covered with gold and that coating wears off very quickly. For 100% gold jewelry thats not rinsed or plated switching to eighteen karat options will lower your chances of green skin. Copper will also turn your skin green and there isn’t a whole lot you can do about that.
Try to avoid 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 guard your skin from the reaction. If you can find something to keep the reaction to a minimum you can wear inexpensive jewelry whenever you want.
Just remember<, the green effect won't hurt you. It's just a skin reaction and not an allergic reaction. Metal allergic reactions turn your skin red plus it could also make your skin feel itchy and inflamed. Which is nothing like green skin. 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.
Truth be told coating your jewelry is probably the answer.
