Well-groomed hands with beautiful manicure are the adornment of any woman. Manicure is the most popular procedure in beauty salons. It can be edged or unedged. It can also be done by professionals in the salon or on your own at home.
For some women, after a manicure, most often an edged one, one painful and unpleasant consequence appears - a burr.
A burr is a violation of the integrity of the skin of the nail fold, it puffs up unpleasantly and hurts.
Several factors contribute to the appearance of burrs.
- Removal of live skin, not keratinized skin. In such areas, wounds appear, which are accompanied by pain.
- Poor preparation before removing the cuticle. Before removing the cuticle, it should be treated with oils, as a result of which it will become tender and can be easily removed.
- Sloppy removal. Cuticle removal should be done in one go.
- Initially dry skin around the nail plate. To avoid this, you should constantly monitor your hands, moisturize the cuticles well, and do hand baths.
- Constant cleaning and seasonal dacha work lead to this problem.
At unedged manicure there is also the possibility of burrs. This happens when the manicure technique is not followed. Before a manicure, it is necessary to constantly use special oils to nourish the cuticle. Not using oils will cause severe damage to the cuticle when using nail files.
To push back the cuticle, wooden sticks are used that do not injure the skin roll. But, sticks should be made of smooth wood so as not to put a splinter. Most often they use orange, which have a hardness, like a nail.
Gel manicure has gained particular popularity. However, a gel polish manicure (or nail extension) can negatively affect not only the cuticle, but also the nail itself. Indeed, during the procedure, the nail is degreased with special agents that dry the cuticle. As a result, burrs may appear.
Also in gel manicure, solid nail files are used to process the nail for better adhesion to the gel. And most often, with this action, a fairly strong trauma to the cuticle occurs.
What is the danger of burrs
- The burrs themselves are not so terrible, the consequences are dangerous.
- The burrs that appear should not be gnawed or torn off, this will lead to even more damage to the cuticle.
- Burrs must be disinfected 2 times a day with 3% or 6% hydrogen peroxide. Further, when it dries, carefully remove the burr with special scissors.
