5 reasons you shouldn't tear off gel nail designs

Although it may seem satisfying, ripping off gel nail designs can be dangerous to your health and aesthetics. Learn here the reasons why you should not do it!

We have all succumbed, at least once, to the temptation to tear off and bite our nail polish and, although at first it may seem like an innocent and insignificant action, the truth is that it can have more repercussions on our health than we imagine.

Keep reading and find out what are the reasons why experts recommend not doing it and better go to your trusted beauty spa to remove it!

Why should we avoid ripping off gel nail designs?

-Detach the layers of your nail

Although at first glance it is not so easy to perceive, when you lift the gel polish you are also removing the most superficial layers of your nails, leaving them unprotected against possible bacteria from the environment.

For this reason it is so important that you go to a beauty spa so that the professionals remove your gel polish with the appropriate liquids.

At On Post Beauty we will always be happy to welcome you!

-Generates more sensitive and brittle nails

This point is closely linked to the previous one, because when you remove the layers of your nails, you take away volume and protection.

That is why after doing it your nails can hurt or even burn, and in the long term what you can generate is that your nails grow weak, making them more likely to break.

-Alter the skin of your nails

If the temptation to bite your nails also leads you to bite the little skins around from time to time, let me tell you that this is also completely harmful.

Although the skin is powerful and regenerates automatically, it no longer does so in the same way, because by leaving that area unprotected, your body interprets that you need "greater protection" and therefore begins to form thicker and more resistant skin that keeps you safe.

In other words, the famous "calluses" begin to appear.

-You make it difficult for your manicurist

When you peel off your gel polish, you make it difficult for your manicurist, as they not only have to worry about removing your design, they also have to treat your damaged nails to avoid thinning, sensitivity and infections.

Thus, the removal and change of look become a much longer visit that requires more care on your part.

-You delay your next mani look

If you thought ripping off your gel nail art had no future repercussions, let me say you're wrong.

Since your nails are left sensitive and unprotected, on many occasions it is necessary to let them rest so that they can recover and regenerate the layers lost in the process. Delaying your new mani look from a week to 15 days!

Now that you know the reasons why you shouldn't bite your nails let alone peel off gel nail designs, I know you'll think twice before doing so.

Remember that it will always be better to visit your trusted manicurist and leave the enamel detachment in her power.
