We love a good pair of earrings - but what happens when your favourite accessory starts turning on you
What’s Causing the Itch?
Nickel: The Usual Suspect - the common culprit behind earring allergies. If you notice your ears getting irritated after wearing certain earrings, nickel might be the one to blame.
The Sneaky Coating - sometimes, even earrings that claim to be hypoallergenic can cause issues. How? The coating on the earrings can wear off over time, exposing the underlying metal that your skin might not agree with.
Other Metallic Mischief - While nickel is the biggest offender, copper, cobalt, and chromium can also cause allergic reactions. The result? Red, itchy, and uncomfortable ears?
How to Prevent the Itch?
Seal the deal with a Jewellery Protector - your secret weapon against allergies. Creating a barrier between your skin and the metal just one coat reduces the chances of an allergic reaction. Say goodbye to allergies, not your favourite jewellery.
Clean those earrings - Keeping your earrings clean can prevent irritation and infections simply using a gentle jewellery cleaner.
Opt for real Gold or Silver - while it is definitely the pricier option wearing solid gold jewellery is usually the way to go to completely avoid sensitivities to jewellery.
