Look your best ALL THE SPARKLE, NONE OF THE RASH
Ohhhh, it's happened again! I've purchased a ring that's turned my skin red! Sound familiar? As innocent as it may seem, this could be the metal reacting with your skin. Have you experienced the irritation of earrings you bought only last week making your ears itch? This might be a sign of an allergic reaction. A whopping 18% of people in the UK will avoid wearing jewellery altogether for fear of an allergic reaction. Skin allergies are mostly connected to nickel, however there are actually a further fifteen metallic elements commonly used in jewellery manufacturing that are known to cause adverse skin reactions, including gold, palladium, cobalt, platinum, and copper. But don't let that put you off accessorising! AnchorCert Protect is working with brands across the UK, including ChloBo, Kit Heath and Gecko Jewellery, to ensure that their jewellery is tested against the sixteen elements and certified to be kind to your skin. So, the next time you're browsing for some new jewellery, look out for the AnchorCert Protect logo to guarantee that you're purchasing an item that won't cause you an allergic reaction. Visit anchorcertprotect.co.uk to view participating brands; because who doesn't want to sparkle without also feeling great?
