Nail Enemies – Drying Chemicals

Filed under: Beauty Tips — editor @ 4:26 am

While overabundant moisture damages nails, so does a lack of moisture. That’s why drying household chemicals, the oil-zapping ingredients in some face products, rubbing alcohol, and some nail products are so damaging to nails – they dry nail keratin out. When moisture is taken from nails, the nail cells shrivel. The result? The smooth, tight interlocking of nail cells becomes disrupted; in its place is a bunch of ruffled, barely joined cells, which lead to nail weakness, brittleness, and breaking.

If there’s one thing that really dries out nails, it’s nail­polish remover. In fact, nail-polish remover is the reason most dermatologists recommend that you manicure nails no more than once every 7 to 10 days. Nail polish remover works by dissolving nail polish. There are two types of remover: acetone and non-acetone. Acetone removers have a reputation for being especially drying. Non-acetone removers, usually formulated with a chemical called acetate, are billed as gender to the nails. Yet, despite the claims of many nail technicians and cosmetic companies, both remover types are drying.

Zit Zappers

If You’re Like Me the very sight of a new blemish has you searching for your cover-up. A better approach, however, is to make sure zits never show up or at least, never grow very big – in the first place. Whether pimples are a daiy battle for you, or a once-in-a-while occurrence, over-the-counter help is available.

Easy spot treatments

Do not pick at your zits – you can cause nasty scars! If you positively cannot leave a blackhead or whitehead alone, try placing a clean forefinger on each side of the cloggea pore and spread the skin taut. Often, you’ll find the stuff in the pore pops out on its own.

For mild to moderate acne and occasional blemishes, over-the-counter products are effective. Benzoyl peroxide is the best spot-stopper around. It unblocks pores, dries up excess sebum, exfoliates the area, and kills the bacteria that cause pimples. Sulfur has long been used in zit medications – either alone, or with benzoyl peroxide – to dry excess sebum, lightly exfoliate the area, and kill bacteria before it can cause a pimple.

A dermatologist may prescribe a topical antibiotic, Retin-A, or azelaic add, which is a grain-derivative that unblocks pores, exfoliates, and kills bacteria.

Salicylic acid (also known as beta hydroxy acid) is a popular ingredient in zit creams and is found in some cleansers, astringents, and masks. A relative of aspirin, it works by penetrating pores to loosen impacted sebum and dirt, which cause blackheads and can lead to whiteheads and cystic pimples.
