Desvelando el misterio de las alergias al polvo del gel UV para uñas
A visit to the nail salon should be a pampering experience, but for some, it can lead to unexpected skin reactions, particularly around the eyes. If you’ve found yourself dealing with severe swelling, redness, and itching in the skin near your eyes after using a new line of nail gel, you’re not alone. You may be wondering, “Can we be allergic to the dust of one UV gel product and not another?”
In this article, we’ll delve into this intriguing question, shedding light on the complexities of nail gel dust allergies and dust sensitivity. Understanding the factors at play is crucial for both nail technicians and clients to ensure safe and enjoyable nail experiences. So, let’s embark on a journey to uncover the truth about nail gel dust allergies and how to safeguard your skin and well-being.
Polvo y reacciones alérgicas a los ingredientes del gel UV para uñas
Nadie se vuelve alérgico a un producto, es alérgico a un ingrediente (o quizá a varios) del producto. Es importante entender esto. Si ese(os) mismo(s) ingrediente(s) se encuentra(n) en otro producto, esa persona desarrollará reacciones alérgicas a ambos productos, debido al ingrediente común que comparten.
Los geles UV son muy diferentes entre sí, pero suelen compartir algunos ingredientes similares, por lo que es probable que exista sensibilidad a otros productos. En este caso, yo sospecharía primero del polvo. Es muy común que los técnicos de uñas no curen lo suficiente sus mejoras de uñas. Cuando esto ocurre, el polvo creado durante el limado será rico en ingredientes no curados. El polvo no debe entrar en contacto con la piel a menos que esté bien curado.
La delicada piel del contorno de los ojos y la exposición al polvo de las uñas
The thinnest skin on our bodies is around the eyes, so I’m not at all surprised that this part of your face is most affected. You should avoid exposure to under cured dust around your eyes. Also, look around a crowded room and I guarantee you’ll see several people touching their face, maybe the eye area. We touch our faces more than we realize. Often without thinking, so the face and eye area is often accidentally exposed to monomer liquid or UV gel, etc.
Mis consejos para cualquiera que se encuentre en esta situación son:
- Make sure you are using the correct UV nail lamp. That’s the one specified by the manufacturer of the UV gel and cure as directed.
- Evite curar capas gruesas, cuanto más finas mejor, por regla general.
- Don’t cherry-pick and mix different UV gels from unrelated brands/systems.
- Minimize dust and filings, use an oil designed for use with electric files to keep down dust.
- Invest in a good quality, professional ventilation system designed for salon use.
- Evite tocarse la cara y lávese las manos después de cada cliente.
