The world of hybrid manicure opens up many possibilities for us. Long-lasting effect, glossy appearance, and a variety of colors make more and more people choose this type of nail styling. However, we are not always aware that some ingredients in hybrid polishes can lead to allergic reactions. Eczema and allergies to hybrids are problems affecting an increasing number of people. Do you know how to recognize an allergy to nail polishes? Let’s take a closer look.
What is eczema and how does it manifest?
Eczema is an inflammatory skin disease that manifests as itching, redness, blisters, and peeling of the skin. It often occurs on the hands, making those who use hybrid polishes particularly susceptible to its development. It’s important to remember that eczema can result from both contact with allergens and other factors such as stress or hormonal changes.
Allergies to hybrids – where do they come from?
Allergies to hybrids may result from the presence of certain chemical ingredients in them. Methacrylates, which are present in many nail styling products, often prove problematic. Allergic reactions can manifest as itchy rashes, redness, or swelling around the nails. In extreme cases, they can also lead to more serious health problems.
How to recognize an allergy to nail polishes?
Recognizing an allergy to nail polishes can be difficult, especially since the symptoms often resemble other skin conditions. If you notice itching, redness, blisters, or swelling after applying a hybrid, it’s worth consulting a dermatologist. A specialist may recommend allergy tests to help identify the specific allergen.
It’s also worth paying attention to the ingredients of the hybrid polishes we use. By choosing products from reputable brands, we have greater assurance that they have been tested for safety. It’s worth looking for certifications that confirm the product is hypoallergenic.
Natural alternatives
For people with sensitive skin or a tendency to allergies, natural alternatives can be a good solution. More and more brands offer polishes free from harmful chemicals, which are safer for health. It’s also worth considering using nail conditioners and regularly moisturizing the skin of the hands, which can help prevent irritation.
What can we do to reduce the risk of allergies?
One of the most important steps in preventing allergies to hybrids is education. Knowledge about ingredients that may be potentially allergenic and the ability to avoid them is key to the health of our nails and skin. Regular moisturizing of the hands and caring for the condition of the nails are other aspects that can help avoid problems.
