Tips for wearing herbal incense beads
1. Activate fragrance
When you first receive the herbal incense beads, the fragrance is strong. You can place it in a cool place for 2-3 days (in a silk bag or wooden box) to let the smell transition naturally.
After 1-2 months of daily wear, the herbal incense beads enter a “dormant period”. You can place the beads in a sealed jar at room temperature for one night, and take it out the next day to be filled with new fragrance.
2.Will the herbal incense beads break easily?
Don’t panic! The herbal incense beads are carefully made of natural spices and have undergone many processes. The hardness is quite good. Unless you encounter extreme external forces, you don’t have to worry about breaking when you wear them normally. You can play with them with confidence.
3.How long can this fragrance last?
As long as you take good care of it, the fragrance will accompany you for a long time. Time will give it a more mellow charm, as if the stories of the years are locked in these beads.
4.Can I wear theherbal incense beads when I sweat a lot or take a shower?
This needs to be paid attention to! The herbal incense beads should not be soaked in water for a long time. When exercising, bathing, swimming or washing clothes, they must be taken off in time. If they are accidentally stained with water, quickly blot them with a paper towel and then place them in a cool place to dry naturally. Don’t let the water affect its “appearance” and fragrance.
