Burrs, in spite of the fact that it's just peeling skin at the base of the nail, can spoil the mood for many - both women and men. They cause painful sensations when clinging to something, and also create a sloppy look of the hands.
Sometimes a hangnail arises at random, and in this case causes minimal harm. But when the burrs occur constantly on several fingers at the same time, this gives an occasion to think about how to prevent their occurrence and what the reason may be.
Causes of burrs on the fingers
The reasons for the appearance of burrs can be different, and often they coincide. Therefore, in order to get rid of them, it is necessary to eliminate all possible factors that lead to their appearance.
Reason number 1 - lack of vitamins
Why there are burrs, first of all, your health will answer - if there are not enough vitamins in the body - in particular, A, E and B, it can lead to loss of skin elasticity, its cornification at the base of the nails, and, consequently, to detachment in the form of a burr.
Reason # 2 - wrong hand hygiene
To find out why the burrs occur on the fingers, pay attention to how often thermal procedures are taken in which the skin is rinsed in water (for example, a bath) and how often you make a manicure and use a hand cream.
If there is a burr, then it means that the skin around the nail is very dry and has not been renewed for a long time - the keratinized cells have accumulated at the nail and have formed a layer that has peeled off. To avoid this, use a hand scrub after the steamer trays, and also use a moisturizing hand cream daily.
Reason # 3 - wrong manicure technology
The answer to the question, why after the manicure there are burrs, is contained in the question itself - because the manicure is done incorrectly. With trimmed manicure, the appearance of burrs is a frequent "side effect". This may be due to several factors:
- First, it is likely that you are wrongly cutting the cuticle , pinching too much.
- Secondly, the use of substandard wire cutters often leads to the appearance of burrs - if they are dulled and loosely adhered, it will lead to burrs.
- Thirdly, insufficient moisturizing of the skin after manicure can lead to the appearance of burrs - in winter it is especially important, because the skin of the hands is exposed to stress - a strong cold wind and low temperatures. To prevent this, use not only a moisturizing, but also a nourishing hand cream.
