If you have ever experienced itching or a rash where jewellery touches your skin, you know the frustration. The best jewellery for sensitive skin does exist, here is what to look for.
What Causes Jewellery Skin Reactions?
Nickel is the primary culprit, found in brass, copper alloys, and some gold alloys. When sweat dissolves trace nickel, it penetrates skin and triggers an immune response. Once a nickel allergy develops, it is typically permanent. This is why choosing the right materials for your necklaces and earrings matters from day one.
