Don't lie.
They say UV\LED lamps for curing nails are not any more harmful than a daily 15 minute sun exposure ...
For gel users, how many of you have noticed accelerated aging in the hands? New visible wrinkles over night? Sagging of the skin in the hands?
I apply high spf sunscreen hours, barrier lotion, and at least 4 mil gloves before any work. Still the damage has been done.
I know because although I don't have naturally pretty fingernails, my hands always had a youthful appearance and always get compliments about it. Practically only after a few applications, I have noticed significant damage. I was in denial about it. I don't wanna be anymore.
I don't think it's the same damage 15 minutes of sun bathing will do to my hands or normal aging! They look like pre-cancer (exaggeration for impact).
I have tried to reverse the effect by using quality moisturizers and anti-aging agents. I am really starting to wonder if gel is worth it when I love its applications so much.
