What can excessive use of nail polish remover lead to?

Excessive use of nail polish remover, particularly those containing acetone, can lead to dryness and damage to the nails. Nail polish removers often strip away not just the polish but also essential moisture and oils from the nails and surrounding skin. This can cause nails to become brittle, leading to breakage, splitting, and peeling. Additionally, the surrounding cuticle area may also become dry and irritated, contributing to overall nail health issues. It’s important for nail technicians and clients to understand the potential effects of frequent and excessive use of these products in order to maintain healthy nails.
