I had gotten a no-chip manicure the last time I went to my dermatologist, and thought to ask her about these manicures. I thought she might say that just putting a 30 SPF sunscreen would suffice, but her answer shocked me. She said that all of the case studies she’s recently seen STRONGLY suggest that there is a significant correlation between skin cancer and the UV light used in the no-chip GEL manicures. I don’t get manicures very often (one ever 2 months) but when I do, it’s always a no-chip because I just don’t have time to sit there and let it dry or go back the following week.
She had a very simple solution; UV Shield Gloves! The ones she showed me on her phone were $7, and are these here. Since I’m an Amazon Prime believer, I opted for these! Either way, it’s a very small investment to offset lots of potential damage! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 🙂 XO, Z
