What jewelry should you choose if you have sensitive skin?

Redness, itching, tingling… When you have sensitive skin, wearing jewelry can quickly become uncomfortable. Many women wonder which jewelry to choose if they have sensitive skin to avoid irritation and unpleasant reactions.

Good news 🤍: it's perfectly possible to wear jewelry without discomfort , provided you make the right choices. In this article, we'll look at which materials to favor , which to avoid, and how to choose jewelry designed to be kind to your skin, like those offered by Rélia Bijoux .

Sensitive skin and jewelry: why does it react?

Sensitive skin reacts more easily to external aggressors. When jewelry is worn for a long time, it comes into direct contact with the skin, perspiration, humidity, and sometimes everyday products.

These elements can cause skin reactions, especially when the jewelry is made from unsuitable metals. This explains why my jewelry gives me allergies or why my jewelry irritates my skin .

Metals to avoid if you have sensitive skin

Certain metals are known to more easily cause skin reactions.

Among them are:

• nickel
• copper
• certain alloys of costume jewelry

These materials can cause redness, itching, or burning sensations, especially when perspiring. They are also often responsible for visible marks on the skin, as explained in "Why do my jewelry leave green marks ?"

Costume jewelry: rarely suitable

Costume jewelry is often made from inexpensive, but also more reactive, alloys.

They do not tolerate humidity, heat and prolonged wear well, making them unsuitable for sensitive skin.

The difference is explained in more detail in costume jewelry vs stainless steel: which to choose .

Stainless steel: the best ally for sensitive skin ✨

Stainless steel is now one of the most recommended materials for sensitive skin.

It is stable, durable, does not release irritating substances, and withstands humidity very well. This explains why stainless steel jewelry does not rust .

This is also why it is often recommended for sensitive skin .

Are gold-plated jewelry pieces suitable? ✨

Gold-plated jewelry can be suitable for sensitive skin, provided the base is appropriate.

A gold plating applied to a stainless steel base will be much better tolerated than a gold plating applied to a fragile metal.

The importance of water and perspiration 🚿

Water and perspiration can accentuate skin reactions to sensitive metals.

That is why it is important to choose jewelry that can withstand these conditions, as explained in which jewelry is water and perspiration resistant .

Stainless steel jewelry is designed to withstand these situations without irritating the skin.

Comfortable jewelry for everyday wear

When you have sensitive skin, comfort is essential.

A well-designed piece of jewelry should not scratch, pinch, or cause excessive friction. This ties into the question of which jewelry is safe to wear every day .

How to recognize jewelry suitable for sensitive skin?
