The Best Body Jewelry For Sensitive Skin

Posted on January 10, 2023March 15, 2023 by Dee

When it comes to body jewelry, those with sensitive skin often feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, they want to express themselves and adorn their bodies with beautiful pieces, but on the other hand, they’re afraid of having a reaction to the materials used. But fear not, my fellow delicate-skinned friends; options are available for you!

Nickel: This metal is often the culprit behind skin sensitivities, so avoiding it like the plague is important. But don’t worry; it’s not as scary as it sounds!

Instead, opt for body jewelry made from stainless steel or titanium. These metals are biocompatible, meaning they won’t irritate your skin and are also resistant to corrosion and tarnish. It’s like getting a two-for-one deal!

If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can also try gold-plated jewelry. Ensure it’s 14k or higher, as lower karats can contain more nickel and other allergens.

But what about those with metal allergies? I know; it seems like the universe is conspiring against you. But never fear; there are still options!

Say hello to surgical-grade silicone jewelry! Not only is it hypoallergenic, but it’s also flexible and durable. Plus, it comes in various colors and designs, so you can express yourself without sacrificing comfort.

But wait, there’s more! Did you know you can also find body jewelry made from organic materials such as wood and bone? These materials are non-toxic and biodegradable, making them a great option for environmentally conscious people with sensitive skin.

Now, let’s talk about piercings. If you’re like me, you’re probably thinking, “How do I even choose a piercing for sensitive skin?” Well, fear not, for certain types of piercings are less likely to cause irritation.

For example, if you want to get your ears pierced, consider getting a helix or tragus piercing instead of a traditional lobe piercing. These areas of the ear are less likely to come into contact with harsh substances like hairspray and shampoo, making them a safer option for sensitive skin.

If you’re daring and want to try a surface piercing, go for a dermal piercing instead of a traditional surface bar. Dermal piercings are single-point piercings that sit flush against the skin, reducing the risk of irritation.

Finally, let’s talk about aftercare. Regardless of what type of jewelry or piercing you choose, it’s important to take care of it properly to reduce the risk of irritation. This includes:

  • Regularly clean your jewelry and piercing with saline solution.
  • Avoiding harsh substances like alcohol and peroxide.
  • Avoiding tight clothing or jewelry that may rub against the piercing.

In conclusion, those with sensitive skin are no longer limited in body jewelry. You can express yourself without sacrificing comfort with options like stainless steel, titanium, silicone, and organic materials. So go ahead and rock those piercings and jewelry, my sensitive-skinned friends! Remember to take care of them properly to keep your skin happy and healthy.
