Why is it important to use gloves when using certain products?

Using gloves when handling certain products is important primarily to protect the skin from chemicals and reduce the risk of skin reactions. Many products used in manicures and pedicures, such as nail polish removers, gels, and various chemical solutions, contain harsh substances that can be harmful or irritating to the skin. These chemicals can lead to allergic reactions or dermatitis with repeated exposure.

By wearing gloves, nail technicians can create a barrier between their skin and these potentially harmful substances, helping to maintain skin health and safety while performing nail services. This practice not only protects the technician but also ensures a cleaner and safer environment for clients.
