Nail design has become one more accessory, almost a basic to show off hands that are both well-groomed and in full trend. However, it's not always like that. Long ones with an apparently perfect finish can hide poor health conditions: brittle, weak and battered. The use of gel nails, one of the most popular methods due to its more natural appearance, as well as other techniques, require certain precautions to be followed.
This has to do especially with the maximum time that gel nails should be maintained and the period that it is recommended to let natural nails rest. It must also be taken into account that the task of removing gel nails must be carried out in a center and by a professional. The reason is that you have to do it with specialized material and be very careful not to damage the natural nail.
The application of gel nails can end up compromising the health of the nails. They usually stay between three and five weeks in good conditions, always depending on the quality of the products and the experience of the responsible professional. When the time comes to remove them, the question arises: “should I rest?”. The reality is that there is no standard in this regard, it will always depend on each case.
In other words, if the natural nail looks good and is strong, there would be no reason to take this break. So you could apply some new gel nails. However, if the nail is brittle, dehydrated and with a weak appearance, without a doubt, the appropriate option would be to let them rest. A couple of weeks of correct hydration and with the help of a specific product to strengthen them is usually enough for them to recover.
Repeated use of gel nails has certain risks that it is important to be aware of. On the one hand, the most obvious, natural nails are weakened. This is due to the products that are used to design them. In addition, the lamps used during the technique to fix them contribute to photoaging of the hands and could be related to other major damage to the skin.
They can be irritating and even give rise to cases of allergic pictures. And, a problem that sometimes occurs if they are abused, there is the possibility of infections. Especially since, sometimes, they tend to be hidden by reapplying new nails. When it would be appropriate to rest immediately from this procedure and go to a health professional to act as soon as possible.
