Keep that Pretty Look with Extra Care

Accessories, through the years, have been perking up any outfit, even just the plain ones. If you wear one that is dull, discolored or already worn out, you might not be helping in giving yourself that new look. Because jewelry and other accessories help us in achieving the kind of look we desire, it is truly just and fair that we must learn on how to take care of them and keep them in perfect condition.

1. Ensure your jewelry dazzles. More than 80% of fashion jewelry is made of oxidized metal. This is something that blackens at the moment it comes in contact with water. To avoid that from happening on your accessories, do not wear them during a bath, when exercising, or when doing things that could make you really sweat. For gold and silver jewelry, toothpaste can be used to clean them.

2. Whether you often use a bag or not, it is important that you wipe and clean all of them frequently and keep them away from alcohol, solvents, and sunlight. Wrap them in plastic for protection against dust or pest bites. Empty all the contents using the cloth or a tissue.

3. You love shoes, don’t you? And with that, you also surely love an organized and clean shoe rack. We all do not want to find our shoes in its worst condition the moment we decide to wear it. Always wipe your shoes with a damp cloth every after use and keep them in their own boxes. If you have a lot of shoes, manage to wear them all alternately because shoes that haven’t been worn for a long time would tend to peel and get moldy.

4. In taking care of your watches, protect them by wiping them with a soft cloth and store them away from any form of liquid such as a perfume, hair spray, and others. No matter how tired you may get, manage to not keep your watches in the closet or in your hands while you sleep. Even in waterproof watches, constant exposure to water can actually reduce its resistance over time, plus it can be easily worn out.
