The exposure risks of air pollution for manicurists include grinding dust, nail polish remover, and gel nail resin aerosols,

We need better mask to protect our self

Manicurists bring infinite beauty and confidence to their clients' fingertips, yet often overlook a crucial issue while working—Our respiratory health.


During the manicure process, shaping and grinding steps or the removal of nail polish generate a significant amount of fine dust particles. Although we use vacuum cleaners, aprons and tables are still covered in nail dust. These particles not only float in the air but also get inhaled into our lungs.

The fine particles produced during manicure grinding and the powders used in crystal nails are extremely small and easily dispersed in the air. The smell emitted by resin during nail polish application or the chemical components evaporating from nail polish removers may harbor potential threats to our health. Prolonged exposure to these environments may damage our respiratory systems, skin, and overall health.

 

Wearing a mask during grinding is not just about hygiene but also about protecting our lungs.

While we wear masks during work, it's essential to understand why. Many manicurists wear medical masks, but they aren't effective in blocking the fine particles produced during grinding. Moreover, the electrostatic filter material used in medical masks loses its filtering efficiency over time. We cannot determine how much protection the medical mask provides for our lung health after wearing it for a while.

More importantly, the oil-based/aerosol particles released during the curing of nail polish or gel nails are not effectively protected by medical masks. This is one of the important sources of pollution that we often overlook, exposing us to a polluted environment for extended periods.

Wearing a high-quality mask is the first step in protecting ourselves. Many manicurists are now focusing on air quality and installing ventilation systems or air purifiers. Although these devices can improve dust, the dust scattered on aprons and tables indicates that ventilation systems cannot address all particle dust problems. Although we have air purifiers, our respiratory system is quite close to the nails during treatment, and the dust first spreads near our breathing before reaching the position of the air purifier. Without proper mask protection, we are using our lungs to filter dust.

In the clean world of pollution prevention, the Micro Particle Protection Mask can directly replace N95 masks for dust protection and even P95 masks for chemical aerosol particle blocking. Utilizing thin film filter material, the mask provides high protection and comfortable breathing. It's eco-friendly and washable for reuse. Through aesthetic design, the N95 mask can also be stylish and beautiful, making it perfect for fashionable manicurists.

Partnering with Micro Particle Protection Mask, let's create a healthy and beautiful working environment together. While we bring beauty to our clients, let's also take care of our own health.
