There’s a first time for a manicure, and then there’s a third time. Many people can’t get out of their first nail art experience.
After each manicure, after a while, some people look down at their fingers, will feel more and more ordinary, more and more tired of looking.
As a result, these people itch and choose a new heart nail style, while the spare time to rush to the heart of the nail shop again.
Or every time you finish a manicure, after a period of time, as the mottled nails fall off, some people can’t look at their bare fingers, then these people will often go to the manicure, go to the nail salon more and more frequently.
But, in fact, as the old saying goes, “Water brims only to overflow.” Anything in excess of moderation can go wrong.
Now let’s talk about the dangers of frequent and excessive manicures.
The occurrence of pericungual dermatosis
People who have had nail art experience will know that before doing nail art, because the surface of the nail is generally not too smooth, and there is oil. These problems can reduce the adhesion of nail polish and increase the chance of falling nail polish.
Therefore, manicurists usually polish the surface of nails with special tools in advance.
However, frequent manicures mean that the nails are polished more often, and too much polishing can destroy the enamel layer that protects the nails, leaving them soft, thin and brittle.
Each thing must have its necessity to exist, the protective layer of nails is destroyed, the resistance of nails to stimulating substances is reduced, and the influence of external temperature is more sensitive, which will affect the health of people’s nails.
And, in the process of polishing the nails, if the manicurist accidentally mishandled the operation or happened to encounter a less experienced manicurist, the skin around the nails was bruised. If you do not pay attention to treatment, the injury site may be infected by some bacteria, then there will be “paronychia” or “abscess around the nail”, and then it will be more uncomfortable.
In addition, the tools that manicurists use, such as the cuticle nipper and the nail pusher, non-disposable products have been in contact with countless people, and if they are not thoroughly disinfected, they will more or less carry bacteria.
If the nail tools are not thoroughly disinfected, coupled with the fact that there is a wound, it is easy to lead to finger infection and diseases such as gray nails.
Accelerated skin aging
After the basic nail preparation is done, the manicurist begins to apply nail polish. After finishing the nail polish, the manicurist will shine our nails under a light therapy lamp. This is the popular light therapy gel nail, which is something that needs to be illuminated by an ultraviolet light to cure.
This UV exposure takes 30 to 40 seconds each time. It can directly irradiate into the dermis of our skin, to a certain extent, it will destroy the elastic fibers and collagen fibers of the skin.
Therefore, if it is regularly irradiated, it will cause skin aging, which will cause wrinkles.
If you do a lot of nail art, and suddenly one day you look at the skin of your hands is not as good as the original, there is no doubt that it is likely to be a lot of nail art.
Nail polish is dangerous
Nail polish is basically a mixture of various chemical solvents, plasticizers and chemical dyes. Most of these raw materials are benzene compounds, which are volatile and will have adverse effects on the human body after being accidentally eaten or inhaled.
Poor quality nail polish contains up to 80% of carcinogens – phthalates. If this harmful substance enters the body in large quantities through the respiratory system and skin, too much use by women will increase the risk of breast cancer.
How often should you get your nails done
Nails are breathing, nails have a stable growth cycle,healthy and complete nails are generally trimmed once every 7-11 days.
If you do nails for a long time, the chemical elements in nail polish will affect the growth of nails. It is generally recommended to do a manicure once a month and then leave it for a month before doing it.
It takes about 100 days for new nails to grow from the base to their full normal shape. So, if your nails are damaged or cracked, it’s best to wait 100 days before getting a trim or manicure.
Otherwise, excessive manicure will cause more serious damage to nails that have not yet been fully regenerated.
