Salon Secret for Polish Removal: Headbands

lint free roll of cotton
As nail techs, we remove nail polish all day long at the salon so we have learned a few tricks to remove nail polish quickly and effectively.

First, you need to use the best nail polish remover.
Second, you need to use the best absorbent cotton.

The best remover for a fast effective polish removal is pure acetone. It take any nail polish off fast and easy. It is what you soak in to remove gel polish. Don't even waste your time with non acetone polish remover!

Now, you need the best cotton to saturate with that acetone to get your polish off.

Cotton balls and the ropes of cotton used for perms leave cotton fibers that stick on the nails during the nail polish removal.  Those annoying fibers seem to get stuck on everything and even linger in the air then they get stuck in the polish creating a mess. I will share with you the best salon secret for nail polish removal

The Best Cotton to Remove Nail Polish

We use rolls of cotton called lint free cotton bands. They can also be called cotton headbands.

 They are an old time product designed to be used with chemical hair services, like perms, to prevent chemical drippage on the client's face. 

They are simply the best for removing nail polish. The cotton is compacted, nice and tight leaving no fiber behind.  The compact roll fits easily into a manicure table drawer or in to nail supplies bag.

You can get them right on Amazon for only $5.99!

I hope these tips help you do our nails like a pro!

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out.

I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j...
