Keep your jewellery safe from aggressive cosmetic products as much as possible. Cosmetics such as perfume, soap, lotion, face cream, etc., cause silver to tarnish at a much faster rate. Remove your jewellery prior to washing your hands or showering. Put your jewellery on only after your perfume and lotions are set.Our skins look and react differently. Some types of skin secrete more acid and salts than others, thus speeding up the tarnishing process.Remove your jewellery before physical exercise, cleaning, gardening, or any other physical work. Also avoid exposing your jewellery to pool, ocean or fresh water. Silver has a life of its own and it changes through time, oftentimes unpredictably. This is part of its beauty.
