Always worried that it will be too hot and the beeswax will be damaged or melted —— Songgang Amber Museum

In Shenzhen in April, the temperature rose obviously and it was full of sultry feeling. It seems that everything is full of irritating high temperature, but many friends have begun to put on light and fashionable spring and summer clothes and put on their beloved jewelry with joy.

I found that wearing beeswax ornaments often this season is a good maintenance process for beeswax.

Why do you say that?

At this time of the year, we are more likely to sweat and secrete oil. I don't know if there are any friends who are afraid of heat. Like me, I feel sweaty when I move casually.

The sweat and oil we secrete every day have a good protective and nourishing effect on amber beeswax worn close to the body, making amber beeswax more shiny, so this is the best time for oil to moisten amber beeswax and form patina.

Moreover, amber beeswax is a natural organic gem with moist tentacles, which will not be very hot even if it is worn close to the skin in hot summer, and the soothing effect of amber can also bring a certain soothing effect to the wearer in hot weather, calming the mind.

Perhaps in your traditional consciousness, you may think that amber beeswax is not suitable for summer, but more suitable for cool autumn and winter seasons. To tell the truth, I used to have this mentality, always worried that it would be too hot, and the beeswax would not be damaged or melted.

Actually, this is a misunderstanding. We know that amber should be afraid of heat. However, the softening temperature of amber is150 C, and it will only melt when the temperature reaches 250 C ~ 375 C. Even in midsummer, the high temperature we can reach is not enough to melt amber beeswax, so don't "misunderstand" beeswax again!

However, although beeswax is very suitable for wearing in hot weather, it will be easily injured if it is not protected.

Although we wear beeswax in hot weather, we can use the secreted oil for maintenance, but if we put them aside, they will peel off, crack or even break due to fatal injuries such as dryness, exposure and lack of water.

A friend talked to me before. When I was ready to wear my own beeswax, I found that its skin cracked and even lost its original oily feeling. After some inquiries, I learned that it was because it was put directly on the table when I didn't wear it on weekdays, and the maintenance was not good.

Long-term sunshine and strong ultraviolet rays will wither and even heatstroke even if you don't pay attention to rest and maintenance.

What's more, it is an organic gem that doesn't like high temperature exposure. At this time, the maintenance of beeswax is particularly critical.

Whether you place or wear your own beeswax, you should remember the following two aspects.

Avoid long-term exposure

High temperature and high fever will make beeswax dehydrated and dry, losing its warmth. Too high temperature will affect the compactness of its structure, leading to problems such as cracking and peeling.

Here, I would also like to especially remind friends who have cars not to put beeswax in the car after parking in the open air during the day. The temperature in the closed compartment under the scorching sun is very easy to burn amber beeswax.

Avoid contact with chemical reagents.

As soon as the weather is hot, the frequency of cleaning is gradually increasing, and you should dress up carefully every day when you go out. However, beeswax is an organic gem, and its surface is easily eroded when it comes into contact with chemical solutions, thus affecting the brightness and brightness of beeswax.

The chemical reagents I'm talking about here are perfumes, protective lotions and daily cleaners used in our daily grooming.

Of course, in addition to the above two points, special attention needs to be paid in this season, such as falling and collision prevention, regular cleaning and so on.
