Nail polish remover<\/a> is used by many women to remove their nail polish. However, it is also used by many women to remove other things, like tattoos. While it is the same product, the effect on skin is drastically different than it is on nail polish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nA nail polish remover works by softening the nail polish. It is not harsh enough to damage skin, but it does soften the nail polish so that it can be removed. This is not the case with tattoos. The chemicals in the nail polish remover dissolve the tattoos so they can be washed away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhen it comes to nail polish remover there is a lot of information out there about how to choose the best remover for your particular type of nails and nail polish. However, there is less information out there about how to actually remove the nail polish from your skin if you happen to get some on your skin. In this blog I will talk about the different types of remover and how to remove nail polish from skin if this should happen to you.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat are effects that can damage your skin?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n Nail polish remover is quite flammable and it has to be handled with utmost care. It can remove the regular nail polish with relative ease, but it may take some time on the glittery one. Moreover, nail polish remover on skin needs some time to take effect on the varnish, so don’t expect it to make your nails clean at the moment of application. The chemicals in the nail polish remover are quite harsh but they are not as dangerous as many people think. Still, you shouldn’t apply these ingredients on the skin, as it may cause some irritation.<\/span><\/p>\nNail polish remover is a harsh chemical which is used to remove nail polish from your fingers. It is a liquid, similar to water, but it evaporates very fast. The liquid also contains some other chemicals which are the reason for its strong smell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe liquid may have some adverse effects on your skin, but they are usually temporary. As the liquid itself is mostly water, the liquid does not damage your skin tissues. In case of contact with eyes, you should flush with water immediately. The liquid may cause some redness on skin, but it disappears in a while. A strong smelling liquid may sometimes cause some irritation on your skin, but it is not a serious problem. You should not put it on the skin, only on the nail. If you accidentally spill some liquid on your skin, you must wash it with water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDangerous chemicals involved in nail polish remover:\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n The chemicals in nail polish remover can sometimes cause allergic reactions, but it is more common with the ones with the strong smell<\/span>. <\/b>The chemicals present in nail polish remover are acetone, toluene, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, isopropyl alcohol, hexane, heptane, petroleum ether, trichloroethylene, and xylene. These chemicals are highly irritating to the skin. If you accidentally spill nail polish remover on your skin, then wash it off with soap and water. Always wash the skin thoroughly after using nail polish remover. If you accidentally spill nail polish remover on your clothing, then wash it with cool water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAlso, some people are sensitive to the chemicals contained in nail polish remover. It doesn’t mean that it is damaging, though. That is why the product has to be labeled ‘not for internal use’. Sometimes, nail polish remover can be harmful, though. If it is used frequently, it can weaken the fingernails. Therefore, it is not recommended for children under 12.<\/span><\/p>\nIf you are sure that it is the only product that can remove your nail polish, then go ahead and use it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWith regards to nail polish remover on skin, it can be argued that acetone gives you a faster, more efficient way of getting the nail polish off than other products. Acetone is also less irritating to the skin because it evaporates faster than other nail polish removers. Because it evaporates faster, acetone does not leave behind any residue on the skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nNail polish remover seems like the best solution to remove your nail polish after a long day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHowever, it can be a problem if your skin is sensitive to acetone, a chemical in nail polish removers. Acetone can have a negative effect on your skin if it is in contact with your skin for a long period of time. Nail polish removers can also cause a burning or itching sensation on your skin. The best way to remove nail polish without harming your skin is to use a nail polish removal kit.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nail Polish Remover on Skin and its Effects\u00a0 Nail polish remover is a well known product that we apply on our nails to remove nail paint from nails.
