What can be a consequence of using old or contaminated nail products?

Using old or contaminated nail products can indeed lead to an increased risk of allergic reactions. These products can harbor bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens that can trigger allergic responses in sensitive individuals. Additionally, chemical degradation over time can change the formulation of the products, potentially resulting in irritants that were not present when the product was new. This can lead to skin irritations, rashes, or other allergic reactions when applied to the nails or surrounding skin.

Maintaining the integrity and safety of nail products is crucial not only for aesthetic outcomes but also for the health and safety of clients. Fresh, properly stored products help minimize any risks associated with allergies or infections, ensuring a safer experience for both the manicurist and client.
