Gel nails look glossy, elegant, and last longer — but they also come with a few skin and nail health concerns you should be aware of 👇 ✨ 1️⃣ UV exposure: The curing lamps used to harden gel polish emit UV light, which can cause premature aging and increase skin risk with frequent exposure. ✅ Tip: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen or wear UV-protective gloves before your session. ✨ 2️⃣ Nail dehydration & brittleness: Frequent gel applications can dehydrate and thin out your natural nails. ✅ Tip: Take short breaks between manicures and use a nourishing cuticle oil daily. ✨ 3️⃣ Aggressive removal: Peeling or scraping off gel polish damages the nail bed. ✅ Tip: Always get removal done professionally and never peel it off yourself! ✨ 4️⃣ Infections & lifting: Tiny gaps between the gel and your natural nail can trap moisture, inviting fungal or bacterial infections. ✅ Tip: Keep nails clean and dry, and avoid picking at lifted edges. ✨ 5️⃣ Allergic reactions: Some gel ingredients (like acrylates) can cause irritation or redness around the nails. ✅ Tip: If you notice persistent itching, redness, or swelling — consult a dermatologist early. ✨ Takeaway: Gel nails are safe when done right — with the right hygiene, breaks, and UV protection. Beautiful nails should never come at the cost of healthy nails! 💅💖
