| Nails can dry out, just like skin. They can also be infected: toe infections, for instance, can come from dirty soks, certain types of aggressive exercise as well as walking unprotected in an unclean environment. They can even be defected by wearing tight footwear. Manicures and pedicures are health and cosmetic procedures to groom, trim, and paint the nails and manage callouses. They require various tools such as cuticle scissors, nail scissors, nail clippers, and nail files. However, nail salons use tools that potentially infect people. Regarding nail tools such as files, "If they're used on different people, these tools may spread nail fungi, staph bacteria or viruses", warns Rick Lopes, a spokesperson for the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.[3] In fact, over 100 bacterial skin infections in 2000 were traced to footbaths in nail salons. To avoid this, new improved contactless tools can be used, for example, cuticle removers in gels and creams instead of cuticle scissors. |
