6 steps to cultivate aged beads with patina!Learn these 6 maintenance tips, the more beads you wear, the more moist they become, and the fragrance will last for 3 years! Guide to Avoiding Pits
【 Daily Maintenance | Let the fragrance 'breathe' 】1. New Pearl Fragrant Period (Day 1-7)▪️ After unpacking, let it air dry in a well ventilated place for 1 hour (avoid direct sunlight!). In the first 3 days, the fragrance will be so strong that it looks like a walking aromatherapy machine▪️ It is recommended to wear it for no more than 6 hours a day for the first 2 weeks, giving the beads an "adaptation period" to avoid a sudden decrease in fragrance⚠️ Misconception: Don't learn how to handle bracelets and rub them vigorously! Hexiangzhu is pressed with herbal medicine, just gently rub and circle it2. Wear the "Three Don'ts" in daily life❌ Don't touch the water! Hand washing/bathing/swimming must be picked (will soften the surface when in contact with water, and the fragrance will evaporate faster)❌ Don't touch cosmetics! Perfume/hand cream/sunscreen will destroy the balance of incense (skin care first, then beads!)❌ Don't touch high temperatures! Do not leave it in the car or near the heater in summer, as high temperatures can accelerate the evaporation of oil and grease (tested by yourself)3. Weekly "Fragrant Care" Small Ceremony▪️ Gently wipe the surface with a dry soft cloth (suede cloth/eyeglass cloth is best) to wipe away sweat and dust from hands▪️ Put a sealed bag+1 piece of dried osmanthus/sandalwood shavings during seasonal changesAdvanced Maintenance | Nourish Amber Paste4. Formula for developing patina▪️ Natural wear>Deliberate play! Wearing it for 2-3 hours a day, body temperature and hand sweat will gradually make the beads transparent▪️ Key point: The connection between beads and spacer beads (where oil is most likely to accumulate, and after coating, there will be a "gradient amber light" that is super beautiful!)5. Special scenario handling▫️ Sweaty summer: When you go home, gently press and absorb sweat with a damp cloth (don't wipe! Directly press for 3 seconds to absorb sweat), air dry and place in a ventilated place▫️ Accidentally getting wet: Immediately use a dry tissue to absorb the moisture, remove the bracelet and spread it flat on cotton paper, and let it dry in the shade for 48 hours (do not blow it with a hair dryer!)
【 Q&A First Aid Kit 】Q: Can beads be washed with water if they are dirty?Wipe off minor stains with a dry cloth! Serious dirt (such as liquid foundation), gently rub with a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of olive oil, and then polish with a soft clothQ: Will wearing patina for too long affect the aroma?Pasting is a natural protective layer!
