by Madeleine Mau Have you ever went to a salon and gotten a UV gel manicure? A UV gel manicure is a form of nail color that promotes long-lasting wear and shine. And it's cured by ultraviolet (UV) light, a very high frequency of light that is very toxic to your skin. This high frequency light, when exposed to the skin, can be very harmful and damaging. It can cause skin cancer. PROS and CONS The good side of the gel manicure is that it lasts longer than the average nail color. Also, it cures with a glossy, shimmery finish. The cons, however, are rather more than the pros. The light used to cure the gel is toxic for you. Also, when the gel peels, the top layer of your nail plate comes off with it, therefore resulting in the dramatic thinning of the nail. SAFETY CONCERNS The safety concerns, of course, of the utmost importance. The salon workers that do the gel manicures are constantly exposed to UV light, therefore increasing their risk for skin cancer. Also, if you are doing your gel manicure yourself, it is guaranteed that you are exposed to the dangerous rays the gel-curing lights produce. Now I hope you have learned the secrets behind your UV gel manicure. And I also hope that you will be able to limit your exposure, and make life better for yourself in the future.
