Móng tay của bạn có cần được thở không?

397 Views

Your tấm móng tay are dead!!! They cannot breathe! (If you’re familiar with the Monty Python sketch) The nail cells have ‘ceased to be’!!!

Let your nails breathe!!! Yes??? NO!!!!

Do they need a ‘breather’ from lớp phủ? Maybe! But that is the decision of an educated client (that may have financial constraints and uses this as a reason) or a skilled and informed thợ làm móng chuyên nghiệp who may suggest a period of time away from a sơn gel or enhancements to enable a treatment product to help improve nail condition. This would be when the nail plate is getting giòn and maybe could benefit from an intensive conditioning treatment (just like hair when it needs a conditioning mặt nạ to bring back suppleness)

So what is all this ‘breathing nails’ all about?

Lets look at the 2 possibilities that this marketing ‘spin’ can refer to:

1. Cellular respiration. All living cells respire. This isn’t the same as ‘breathing’ as this requires lungs. The process is all about the exchange of ‘gasses’. In the lungs, there is an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. In living cells, it is the exchange of many different molecules that allow the cell to function.

The nail plate is not made up of living cells so does not respire.

2. Permeability. Now, this is different! This is the ability of molecules of hóa chất (remember everything is chemical except an energy e.g. heat, light and electricity) to cross over a lớp phủ/membrane etc.

TẤT CẢ lớp phủ móng tay are permeable to a certain extent. Some more than others . On the whole, only small molecules can permeate a nail coating of any kind. This will be oxygen, water, some oils and axeton. The channels they can permeate through are very tiny so not many substances can do this.

If you need a ‘bench mark’ acetone is a (relatively) small molecule. This is why it’s used as a ‘dung môi’ for the majority of nail coatings. The quicker acetone can remove a coating is a very rough guide to the permeability.

If you understand this you will see that some nail coatings are more permeable than others! BUT….on any individual nail coating, how much oxygen and water can penetrate?? This is not measured! Too much water can cause a big problem of nâng and possibly vi khuẩn. Oxygen? Why does a dead nail plate need oxygen?

Breathing nails? It’s a marketing spin that so many subscribe to!! Both nail pros and the consumer (and the media!!!) This is due to a lack of understanding and so many just promote such misinformation!! It isn’t true; it isn’t accurate!

Can we just make a ‘trend of accuracy’? Do not get caught up in the spin!!

Nail plate<\/div>
Nail Plate\n

Hard layers of modified and keratinised skin cells, bonded together, to form a protective plate on the end of each finger and toe, that prevents damage to the underlying bone and allows for manual dexterity.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_386c1431b70ea08d70a9cff5236be3c9":"

Gel polish<\/div>
\n

Gel polish is a type of nail polish that is cured under UV or LED light to create a hard, durable and glossy coating. It is a two-step process that involves applying a base coat, followed by the gel polish color, and then finishing with a top coat. <\/p>\n
\n

The gel polish is composed of a mixture of monomers, oligomers, pigments, and other additives that polymerize when exposed to light. This creates a strong bond with the natural nail, making the manicure long-lasting and resistant to chipping, peeling and cracking. <\/p>\n
\n

Gel polish is typically removed by soaking the nails in acetone, and is a popular choice for people looking for a low-maintenance, high-shine manicure.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_e14623b52242301c74ec968ef95bc259":"

Chemical<\/div>
Chemical\n

A chemical is a form of matter that can exist as a gas, a solid, a liquid or plasma. Everything in the universe is a chemical except for energy: heat and light. We are made of 100% chemicals; the air is full of chemicals; water is a chemical. Marketing terms that use \u2018chemical free\u2019 are misleading and just wrong. NOTHING except energy is chemical free. It is a way for marketers to provide a false sense of security that is, plainly, unethical.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_d95ff256137df5d55882fc6ae81adf69":"

Bacteria<\/div>
Bacteria\n

There are many species of bacteria everywhere in the world. There are bacteria both inside and outside the human body. Many are good for you but some are not. Some can make you ill. A bacteria species that is relatively common for nails is a species of pseudomonas aka \u2018greenies\u2019. The \u2018bad ones\u2019 can be classed as pathogens but nail professionals must use robust hygiene protocols to avoid any type of bacteria infecting their clients.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_b5d73efce27fb2f036685d2e80018aad":"

Overlay<\/div>
\n

An overlay describes a nail coating. It is commonly used to describe an enhanced nail e.g. tip and overlay where a plastic tip is applied to the natural nail plate and an 'overlay' applied to the nail plate and tip to create a longer enhanced nail. Or a 'natural nail overlay' where a coating is applied directly to the nail plate to give it strength and\/or colour.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_010053c089a17f831365ec13343999d7":"

Coating<\/div>
\n

A coating in nail services terms is any product that is applied to the nail plate<\/a> and leaves a layer of product. It can be traditional nail polish, a strengthening product, a UV gel product, an L&P product.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_0feaed3b66910e1ca5fc2a2031db83b4":"

Acetone<\/div>
\n

Acetone is a common solvent. It is used to remove nail product coatings efficiently and quickly. It is also a byproduct of metabolism within the human body.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_045b376e7d4612af2edbd543cb1f20c6":"

Lifting<\/div>
\n

When adhesion of a nail coating to the nail plate breaks down because the nail coating has reached the end of its lifecycle.
When the nail coating has also been applied to the nail plate but touched the skin, the movement of the nail plate causes a fracture in the coating and water and or oil can get underneath the coating and lift it from the nail plate.
When the client has had some kind of accident \u2013 banged his\/her nail coating and caused it to fracture or break allowing water and or oil to get underneath.
When the nail plate is not properly cleaned or prepared before application then the nail coating will not adhere well to the nail plate and lift away.
It\u2019s important to spot this in time and replace or repair the nail coating to prevent infections from 'Pseudomonas Aeruginosa' or White Superficial Onychomycosis taking hold.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_7598e7f406caa767411a9e1cf7b22e07":"

Brittle Nails<\/div>
brittle damaged nails\n

Brittle nails i<\/a>s a condition where the nail plate is lacking in moisture and natural oils. They are unable to flex with enough degree to prevent them from breaking. This is a condition that can be helped with specific nail treatments and daily home care with the application of a good nail oil.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_5d9a553b829690f7eecc611184e17273":"

Solvents<\/div>
\n

Solvents (in the context of nail products as water is a solvent) are chemicals such as acetone, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, butyl acetate, toluene. They are able to dissolve certain products or break their bonds. They are commonly used in nail polishes and nail polish removers. They are usually volatile and are the method used to dry nail polish as they keep the product liquid until they are exposed air and will evaporate and leave the pigments and other ingredients (such as plastisers etc) as a nail coating. They are also used in nail plate dehydrators to cleanse and degrease the nail in the preparation for a coating application.<\/p>\n
\n

Pathogens (with the possible exception of fungal spores) are unable to survive in a product with a high level of solvents. This is why it is safe to use nail polish on several clients without spreading any pathogens<\/p>\n

A mask is a cosmetic or skincare product applied to the face or hands to address specific concerns or provide benefits such as hydration, exfoliation, or rejuvenation. Masks used during manicures or spa treatments can help nourish the skin, cuticles, or nails.<\/p>\n<\/div>"}}; -->
