THE BETTER NAIL CHOICE

The UV Damage to Your Skin (Your Hands Age Fastest)

Your hands show age before your face. That's because hands get less moisturizing attention and are constantly exposed to sun. Add UV gel lamp exposure to this equation: UV lamps expose your hands to concentrated UV radiation every 2-3 weeks Cumulative exposure over 6-12 months = accelerated skin aging on the backs of your hands (age spots, loss of elasticity, skin texture damage) Increased skin cancer risk on hands from repeated UV exposure The hands' skin is thin and sensitive—UV damage is more visible here than anywhere else on your body Some people develop photosensitivity reactions, leading to dermatitis The math: 12 gel visits per year = 12 UV lamp sessions directly on your hands. That's accelerated aging that's completely preventable.

Salon removal requires filing off the gel layer. This isn't gentle: Technicians file your natural nail aggressively to remove the gel coating Each filing removes a thin layer of your nail plate Repeated filings over 6+ months = visibly thinner, weaker nails Heavy filing can damage the nail matrix (the living tissue that produces new nail growth)—causing permanent weakness Many people develop brittle, peeling nails that take 4-6 months to recover after stopping gel The problem: Your natural nail can only be filed so many times before it becomes too thin to be healthy. Press-on nails avoid this entirely—your natural nail is never heavily filed.

Acetone removal is necessary for gel polish, but it's harsh: Acetone is a solvent that strips protective oils from your skin and nails 20+ minute acetone soak removes moisture from your nail bed and surrounding skin Repeated acetone exposure (every 3 weeks) = chronically dry, damaged cuticles and hand skin Acetone dries out the natural oils that keep your hands supple and young-looking After acetone removal, hands often feel brittle, tight, and uncomfortable for hours The aging factor: Regular acetone exposure ages hand skin as much as sun exposure does. Dry, damaged skin looks older. This is completely preventable with press-ons.

EDGE AND VANDAL
