When it comes to nail care, treating your digits like cargo is a common practice, particularly during the winter. We know: It’s cold, it’s dark, it’s hectic and just let our fingers alone for once, right? Right. But having one bite of that stylist’s choice can do more than keep your mani-pedi nails from chipping.
Turns out, having clean nails can be incredibly important for your skin overall. Turns out, wearing a lot of socks — wearing too many, in fact — can actually make your body much more sensitive to bugs and germs. Plus, a manicure or pedicure can leave a person slightly more exposed to chemicals that can cause the skin to break out, say dermatologists, as well as anything from chemical burns and rashes to alcohol-based bleach.
And of course, you need a salon that is hygienic and minimally crowded and crowded nail bars in particular should really be the last place you go to try to get your pedicure or manicure. After all, you have beautiful women (and pretty much all other nationalities) walking by, unbothered by the dirty floors and back-breaking work of scrubbing up, trashing and dying your nails just a bit.
So if you’re suddenly itching to have a pampering at-home or travel-grade manicure (which is even better for your skin!) or if you ever happen to notice any of these unhealthy-looking (and unusual) nail hands, here are the six most common red flags that your mani-pedi salon might not be hygienic enough, and can seriously put your skin at risk.
