The hazards of nail polish, be careful if you love beauty

Many women like to do manicures and apply various kinds of nail polish, but they are not aware of the harm that nail polish brings to our body. Frequent application of nail polish can lead to chronic poisoning and skin allergies. If the woman is pregnant, it will also affect the development of the fetus.

1. Chronic poisoning

The reason why nail polish can cause poisoning is, first, because of its various bright colors. These colors in nail polish are generally produced by natural pigments or artificial synthetic pigments. The harmful ingredients contained in the pigments may cause chronic poisoning; second, the chemical solvents contained in nail polish may contain diformate, formaldehyde and other harmful substances. Long-term use of nail polish can easily cause chronic poisoning.

2. Affects nails

The hardness of nails is very important for the nails to retain moisture and gelatin content. Frequent application of nail polish can cause the nails to become thinner, and trimming the soft cuticles before applying nail polish may increase the chance of nail injury. The soft cuticles can help form a protective barrier with the nails to prevent bacteria from invading and causing suppuration. Frequent application of nail polish will reduce the moisture and gelatin content of the nails, making the nails weaker and more brittle, and may also cause other nail diseases.

3. Skin allergies

Applying nail polish on nails may cause problems such as discoloration, brittleness, thinning, etc. More seriously, because nail polish contains a lot of toxic chemicals, frequent application of nail polish may cause allergic reactions in the skin around the nails, and even paronychia, etc. due to the formaldehyde and heavy metals contained in it.

4. May cause cancer

Nail polish contains high levels of phthalates, which are very harmful to the human body. Female friends who often apply nail polish should be careful, as this substance can easily enter the body through the female respiratory system and skin and be absorbed by the human body, which may increase the risk of breast cancer in women.

5. Dizziness and discomfort

Most nail polishes have a certain fragrance, and some even have a very pungent smell. This pungent smell is mostly because nail polish contains volatile chemicals, which have certain biological toxicity. If you smell this toxic air for a long time, it may cause dizziness and discomfort.

6. Impact on the fetus

Pregnant women should be especially aware that applying nail polish during pregnancy can cause great harm. The harmful substances in nail polish may increase the risk of miscarriage. In severe cases, the harmful substances may pass through the placenta and affect the fetus in the womb, which may cause genital malformations in the fetus and affect the normal development of the fetus. In addition, young mothers who want to get pregnant should also be careful not to apply nail polish for a long time to avoid infertility.
