I am always worried that the beeswax will be damaged or melted if the weather is too hot-Songgang Amber Museum
In Shenzhen in April, the temperature has risen significantly and it feels sultry. Everything seems to be filled with irritating high temperatures. However, many friends have begun to change into light and fashionable spring and summer clothes with joy. Dress up and wear your favorite jewelry
I found that actually wearing beeswax jewelry frequently during this season is a good maintenance process for beeswax
Why do you say this?
During this season, we are more likely to sweat and secrete oil. I wonder if any friends who are afraid of heat are like me. They feel sweaty every time they move.
The sweat and oil we secrete every day have a very good protective and nourishing effect on the amber wax worn close to the body, making the amber wax more lustrous, so it is the oil that nourishes the amber honey at this time The best time for wax to form patina.
Moreover, amber beeswax is a natural organic gemstone, and its tentacles are warm and moist. Even if it is worn close to the skin in the hot summer, it will not be very hot. The soothing effect of amber can also be worn in hot weather. It brings a certain soothing effect and calms the mind.
Perhaps in everyone's traditional consciousness, amber beeswax may not be suitable for summer, but is more suitable for the cool autumn and winter seasons. To be honest, I have had this mentality before. I was always worried that it would be too hot and the beeswax would be damaged or melted.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The amber we know should indeed be afraid of heat. However, the softening temperature of amber is 150 C, and it will not melt until the temperature reaches 250 C ~ 375 C. Even in midsummer, the high temperature we can access is not enough to melt amber beeswax. Please don’t “misunderstand” beeswax again!
However, although beeswax is very suitable for wearing in hot weather, if we do not pay attention to protecting them, we will be easily injured.
Although we wear beeswax in hot weather and can use the secreted oil for maintenance, if we leave them aside and ignore them, they will peel, crack and even crack due to dryness, exposure, lack of water and other fatal injuries. Broken
A friend of mine came to me before and told me that when he was about to wear his own wax, he found that its skin was cracked and even lost its original oily feel. After some inquiries, I learned that it was because of daily wear. When not wearing it, it was placed directly on the table without proper maintenance.
Long hours of sunshine and strong ultraviolet rays can cause us to become listless and even suffer from heatstroke if we don’t pay attention to rest and maintenance.
What’s more, organic gemstones don’t like high temperatures and exposure to the sun. At this time, beeswax maintenance is particularly critical.
Whether we are placing or wearing our own beeswax, we must remember the following two aspects
Avoid long-term exposure to the sun
High temperature and high heat will cause the beeswax to fade. Loss of water makes the wax dry and moist, and if the temperature is too high, even if it does not cause the wax to soften, it will affect the density of its structure, leading to problems such as cracking and peeling.
I would also like to remind friends who have cars that they must not put beeswax in the car after parking in the open during the day. The temperature in a closed car under the scorching sun can easily dry out amber beeswax. bad.
Avoid contact with chemical reagents
As the weather gets hotter, the frequency of cleaning gradually increases, and it is more necessary to dress up carefully when going out every day. However, beeswax is an organic gemstone. When it comes into contact with chemical solutions, the surface is easily eroded, thus affecting the vividness and brightness of beeswax.
The chemical reagents I mentioned here are the perfumes, protective lotions and daily cleaning agents we use in our daily grooming and grooming.
Of course, in addition to the above two points that require special attention during this season, normal maintenance is also necessary, such as anti-fall and collision prevention, regular cleaning, etc.
