Understanding Why Metal Jewelry Makes Your Skin Turn Green

Have you ever had engagement rings or a necklace that turns your skin greenish in color I'm sure you've been curious why it does that. Basically <, there is a reaction caused by the metal in the jewelry to just about everyone who buys cheap 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 even the expensive stuff isnt pure~ regardless of gold or silver content. Platinum is a safe choice as it almost never reacts with skin so no worries if the stuff you wear is 100% platinum.
If you have gold jewelry and want to stop it from reacting to your skin make sure that you don't have plated gold – the base metal might be cheap and then covered with gold that can rub off. For 100% gold jewelry thats not rinsed or plated switching to eighteen karat options will lower your chances of green skin. Copper jewelry will almost always turn your skin green and theres really nothing to be done. Try to avoid sweating in your jewelry it can increase the green skin effect you can also get a special coating put on – in order to try to stop the reaction or minimize it. If you do this you can wear inexpensive jewelry whenever you want.
Just remember; your skin turning green is a harmless reaction. It's a chemical skin reaction and not allergies. Allergies (such as those to nickel) turn your skin red plus it could also make your skin feel itchy and inflamed. Which is nothing like green skin.
so make sure if you notice an allergy developing that you stop wearing your jewelry 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 to avoid having it look bad. Truth be told coating your jewelry is usually the best option.
