Advantages of the remover and its disadvantages

Every fashionista knows that remover is necessary to keep nails in excellent condition. To be more precise, it helps to get rid of overgrown periungual folds. What is it and why is this product becoming so popular?

Remover is a product in the form of a gel, which, when applied to the cuticle, corrodes the dead skin, after which it is removed as safely as possible.

The gel-like product has enough advantages. The cuticle remover is different:

  1. Security. There is almost no risk of infection.
  2. Ease of use. To use scissors, you need skill, without which cuticle care results in skin injury. The gel, in turn, is easy to apply.
  3. The speed of the procedure. Thanks to this universal product, you can get your cuticles in order in a very short time.

Judging by the reviews, using the remover is not only convenient, but also very pleasant. Unfortunately, there are still some disadvantages:

  1. Due to the application of remover, the nail plate can deteriorate, because it is difficult to treat only the skin itself. The result is a softening of the nail located in close proximity to the cuticle and the appearance of unevenness on it. Therefore, it is not advisable to use the remover too often.
  2. The gel is not recommended for those who have a skin disease or fungus. The condition of nails is seriously deteriorated by the influence of the acid composition.
  3. The solution may cause allergic reactions. Pregnant women should be especially careful.

Varieties

Cuticle gels are classified depending on what components are present in their composition. There are such types of remover:

  1. Acid. Thanks to this product, the removal of periungual ridges is carried out literally within 3 minutes. Such gels are often used by beauty salon professionals for their work. However, during the procedure, itching, redness of the treated area and thinning of the nail plate cannot be ruled out.
  2. Alkaline. The product is softer and suitable for home use. Despite the fact that to get results you will have to keep the gel on the cuticle for almost 25 minutes, your nails practically do not suffer from the procedure.
  3. Oil. The safest remedy. The remover simply softens the skin, and removal must be done using a flat stick. This product can be used to treat very delicate skin. Recommended for frequent procedures.
  4. Mineral based. Such gels are the best of all named. They are rich in mild active ingredients. Thanks to the presence of calcium, zinc, magnesium and other beneficial components, nails and cuticles will be well-groomed and healthy.
