It\u2019s true. <\/span><\/p>\r\n But\u2026<\/b><\/p>\r\n The<\/span> internet<\/b> has become a double-edged <\/span>sword<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\r\n We learn really amazing things from people we will never meet physically. Our lives are improved immensely. <\/span><\/p>\r\n But\u2026 we also learn really <\/span>dangerous<\/b> and destructive things. The \u201cRussian\u201d manicure is a <\/span>technique<\/b> that could <\/span>cripple the global nail industry.<\/b><\/p>\r\n In this article you will learn:<\/span><\/p>\r\n By Vitaly Solomonoff – Dermatologist, Cosmetic Chemist, International Nail Judge and Author.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u2018Beauty is pain\u2019 is the well-known quote from Voltaire’s play, La B<\/i><\/b>\u00e9<\/i><\/b>gueule (the prude woman). This manifests when women are ready to sacrifice everything on the journey to aesthetic perfection.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n The \u2018Russian\u2019 manicure\u2014a variation on high-speed <\/span>microdermabrasion<\/b> with e-files, is seen as an effective contemporary method of removing unwanted living skin as part of the preparation process of a nail service. <\/span><\/p>\r\n It is seen to negate the need for clipping, removers or wooden sticks. However, there are <\/span>many concerns<\/b> surrounding this method.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n Frankly speaking, we <\/span>should not <\/b>remove living skin surrounding the nail plate at all. The only exception would be in cases when excessive skin or hangnails can become a source of infection. <\/span><\/p>\r\n The skin is a secure and <\/span>strong guard<\/b> to the most sensitive and fragile structure\u2014the nail matrix, which is the only layer of germinative cells. This is <\/span>the innermost layer of the epidermis from which new tissue is constantly formed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n The function of the matrix is to <\/span>produce keratin<\/b>, the main substance of the fingernail. The nail matrix is <\/span>so sensitive<\/b> that factors of temperature, insignificant pressure, minor injuries, and skin damage lead to inflammation. These <\/span>external factors<\/b> may impact the formation of the normal healthy keratin in the nail plate. <\/span><\/p>\r\n There are also plenty of <\/span>internal factors<\/b>, such as health and skin conditions which can influence the process too. These factors include diabetes, psoriasis, and lung disorder, just to name a few. <\/span><\/p>\r\n The <\/span>incorrect synthesis <\/b>(creation) of the nail keratin <\/span>always<\/b> results when the nail grows. Changes in shape, structure, texture, color or even separation from the nail bed (onycholysis) are all symptoms of damage to the matrix. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
