The Reason Some Rings Can Turn Your Skin Green

Have you ever had engagement rings or a necklace that turns your skin yellowish I'm sure you've wondered why it does that. Basically - it's a reaction to basic metals to anyone who wheres jewelry made from cheaper metals.
It can happen to some people more quickly than others- though, because our individual chemical makeups are different.
Even the more expensive jewelry can have the same effect<, because the expensive metals aren't completely pure; regardless of cost. Platinum rarely reacts with skin so not to fear if you buy platinum jewelry. If you have gold jewelry and want to stop it from turning your skin green confirm that its authentic and not made from cheap metal and then plated – its a cheaper metal with a thin gold layer that will wear off. For 100% gold jewelry thats not rinsed or plated opting for 18 karat only can help reduce the marks that are left on your skin.
Jewelry made from copper will also turn your skin green and there isn't a whole lot you can do about that. Stay away from sweating in your jewelry it can amplify the skin to metal reaction you can also get a special coating put on – to guard your skin from the reaction. If you do this you can keep wearing your base metal jewelry without worry. Remember~ the green effect won't hurt you. It's just a skin reaction and not an allergy. Allergies will will make you red plus it could also make your skin feel itchy and inflamed. Which is nothing like 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 all you have is green skin you are safe to keep wearing the jewelry you may just have to clean your skin more to avoid having it look bad.
Truth be told applying a coating is generally your best choice.
