Can I do manicure while menstruating?

Women all love beauty very much, especially their skin. Not only do they take special care of it every day, but they also put on makeup when they go out. However, over time, the chemicals in cosmetics may harm the skin, so don't wear heavy makeup when you can wear light makeup. In addition to taking care of their skin, women seem to be obsessed with manicures. So, can I do manicure during menstruation?

If possible, don’t get a manicure, because nail polish contains a lot of chemicals, and the body’s resistance is weak during menstruation.

Dangers of manicure

Can damage nails and cause nails to peel off the nail bed

Manicures can damage the nail body and nail bed, leading to nail injury and even separation of the nail from the underlying nail bed skin, causing onycholysis, which can ultimately lead to shortening of the nail bed (the part where the nail connects to the flesh), which is not worth the cost.

An industry insider pointed out that, in fact, in some informal nail salons, there is a situation of "mixing real and fake" products, and many nail polishes are high-quality imitations and are very toxic.

Nails are actually proteins. When proteins encounter harmful organic substances, they will denature or even become necrotic. It may not be noticeable in the short term, but if you apply nail polish for a long time, the surface of the nails will definitely become uneven and rough. Therefore, nail polish is still corrosive to nails.

Many people who have had manicures have also reported that after the manicure, the nails and the underlying nail bed skin slowly separate, and even become bumpy and lose their curvature.

Acrylic nails have become popular in recent years, and many women change these artificial nails as frequently as they change clothes. Because the adhesive of crystal nails is too corrosive, it makes the nails brittle and deformed; when it sticks to the nails, the nails are subjected to long-term mechanical pulling; when applying crystal nails, the nails need to be ground thin and longer false nails are applied, which increases the friction of the nails. In addition, the chemical stimulation of adhesives and nail polish makes the nails easily damaged and peeled off. Therefore, many women who do manicures experience nail bed separation, where the nails peel off from the nail bed.

Frequent manicures can cause nail inflammation, nail bed bleeding, and even rashes and more serious skin diseases.

A nail art enthusiast from the UK often uses acrylic paint, and now her nails are severely damaged. Her nails have become uneven, thin and brittle. In addition to the health hazards of acrylic paint, gel manicures and ultraviolet lamps used to strengthen nails during manicures are also health killers. A 61-year-old woman's nails looked like they were bitten due to long-term use of gel manicures, while some women even experienced symptoms such as nail loss and bleeding in the nail bed.

Medical experts say that manicures threaten the health of nails and may even cause permanent damage to the nail bed.
