As we have discussed before, there is a big issue with allergies in the nail industry right now. Surely everyone working in this sector is aware of this. Or are they not?
Francamente, me sorprende lo que leo en las redes sociales. Por supuesto, no todo el mundo entiende los mecanismos científicos más profundos que están causando esto (no todo el mundo tiene el amor por la ciencia que yo tengo, lo cual está bien). Sin embargo, ¿no entender lo básico de las alergias y sentir la necesidad de preguntar a desconocidos en Facebook? ¿De verdad?
There is a vast amount of info on this site, so what are the basics? Let’s take a look at them.
- An allergy can only happen if the allergens in nail coating products touch or reach the skin enough to penetrate.
- Esto puede ocurrir por contacto directo con la piel:
-undercured coatings
-products with a very high level of monomers that cannot properly cure
-dust from buffing or a soak removal if the coating is undercured - Si usted o su cliente han desarrollado una alergia, ha habido contacto con la piel.
- Los síntomas pueden aparecer en cuestión de días o semanas.
- It is irrelevant if someone has been wearing a coating for a year+ with no issues. That is because everyone has a safe and unsafe level of overexposure.
The people who post “my client has been wearing this same UV gel polish for a year with no problem so it can’t be an allergy” are WRONG!!! And, unfortunately, there are many of them.
If nail pros do not understand the basics, what are they telling their clients??? Whatever it is, they are wrong, although they are supposed to be the expert professional in that relationship.
Como profesional de las uñas, es TU responsabilidad conocer bien los hechos.
