The next time you go for a manicure – skip the drying routine!

If you enjoy a manicure on a regular basis - skip the UV drying!

Those nail salon dryers are like little tanning beds – and according to a report in the Archives of Dermatology, that UV light increases our risk of cancer and wrinkles. If you use them every two weeks or so, that’s considered significant exposure.

Dermatologists are reporting more cases of skin cancer on the fingers – typically a very rare location – in patients who have frequent exposure to nail-drying lights.
