    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology and Cosmetic Science
    • Hand Hygiene and Skin Health

    Background:

    • Concerns exist regarding the potential for cosmetic nail products, such as UV-cured gel and Shellac nail polish, to cause skin dryness or dermatitis.
    • The role of hand hygiene practices in maintaining skin integrity, particularly in relation to wearing accessories like rings and jewelry, requires clarification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of wearing nail polish, specifically UV-cured gel and Shellac, on skin hydration and the incidence of dermatitis.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of hand hygiene in preventing dry skin and related conditions, irrespective of nail product or ring usage.

    Main Methods:

    • Observational study assessing skin condition in individuals wearing various types of nail polish.
    • Correlation analysis between nail product use, ring/jewelry wearing, and reported skin dryness or dermatitis.
    • Evaluation of hand hygiene compliance and its association with skin health outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Wearing nail polish, including UV-cured gel and Shellac, was not significantly associated with increased rates of dry skin or dermatitis.
    • Adequate hand hygiene practices were found to be a key factor in preventing chapped skin and dermatitis, regardless of nail polish or ring status.
    • No adverse skin reactions were directly attributed to wearing common jewelry, such as wedding bands.

    Conclusions:

    • Cosmetic nail polishes, including advanced formulations like UV-cured gels and Shellac, can be safely used without compromising skin health.
    • Consistent and proper hand hygiene is paramount for preventing dry skin, chapped skin, and dermatitis.
    • Wearing rings and jewelry does not inherently pose a risk to hand skin health when combined with effective hand hygiene.
