REASONS NOT TO WEAR JEWELRY TO YOUR FACIAL APPT.

We all love a good staple piece of jewelry, especially one that you can live in and literally never have to take off, shower and all! But should you still wear them when you go to get a facial??

We recently did an Instagram poll and many of you voted that you do not remove your jewelry during a facial, so we thought we would do a blog post and tell you why it may not be the best idea to keep it on.

Wearing metals while getting a facial isn’t a good idea for many reasons. I spoke with Cami - owner of C.Dahl jewelry to go over some specifics. 

1. Wearing metals while getting your face steamed isn’t a good idea. The steamer that they use at the beginning of the facial can heat up the metal and due to that, the metal can occasionally burn you if you have sensitive skin. (not good!)

2. The moisture from the steam can tarnish or wear down your jewelry depending on the metal and finish. 

3. Also another good reminder if you have sensitive skin - if the jewelry is plated or you have sensitivities to certain metals please keep in mind when plated jewelry tarnishes it can sometimes expose the underlying metal and if you have sensitivities to brass, nickel or another base metal it’s not recommended to wear jewelry during a facial. 

4. Your esthetician will appreciate it if you have no necklaces, bracelets, rings or body jewelry on during your appointment especially if they include a massage in your service. Regardless, the chemicals from the oils, serums, exfoliants, moisturizers and other products used during the facial can damage the jewelry and can leave a remanence in the crevices of your jewelry which is just gross.

Bottom line, if you want to prolong the life of your jewelry, prevent burn risk and possible jewelry loss – keep the jewels at home. 

There you have it!! So those of you who wear your jewelry to facials, will you continue?? Tell us in the comments below & if you have any questions for Cami, send her a DM! (socials, linked below!)
