Excited to be here this evening Dr Dray Happy Wednesday .Thanks for addressing this issue have a good night.
I use acetone (nail polish remover) to remove finishes and dyes from leather projects I work on It always leaves my hands super white, and is super strong in my opinion. While it doesn’t damage the leather — skin — I was always curious what other effects it has on other body parts 😮 thanks, dr. Dray
sadly my meds have the worst effect on my nails, I don’t polish my nails often & always moisturize well after removing polish. 😕
Petroleum jelly does not hydrate your skin whatsoever. It just locks in moisture that skin has. So use some lotion first if you do this or just don’t use jelly at all bc it is a byproduct of gas. Yes the gas you put in your car :|
It’s 100% safe to use. Don’t spread fear just for the hell of it.
Byproduct doesn’t mean unsafe. That’s how people who don’t understand chemistry talk.
I see the thinking folks made it here already…😂🧠
Dr Dray did another short explaining petroleum jelly’s composition. From what she said, we’ve all been duped into thinking it’s something bad. (Probably so that we would by more expensive cosmetic products)
Locking in moisture = less water loss = not as dry as it would be without petrolatum. I use petrolatum as is on my lips and feet every night and it makes a huge difference. But yeah, it’s also great over moisturizer.
I wonder if clear nail polish itself damages the nails… 🤔
Great info, washing dishes with no gloves. And using Clorox does same damage but faster. Lesson learned.
Ugh. Thick dip acrylic nails are th e most helpful tool to help me with my skin picking disorder. Way better than every kind of therapy, anxiety meds etc. but they RUIN my nails! And so many nail salons are unhygenic, and the remover dries out my skin, and my nails get brittle etc. idk what to do instead :(
I have the same issue!!! I hope we can find an alternative that works. 😢
Use cuticle oil after
I have had dry nails do thank you
As someone with psoriasis that has really affected my nails, I’ve had to give up on painting my nails because of how drying and damaging acetone (and even non-acetone!) polish remover is. Lacquer ain’t much better. Vaseline is great, especially after some Eucerin!
There are acetone free nail polish removers out there. They take a little longer to get the polish off, but they don’t dry out your nails as nearly as badly as acetone.
Would it lead to eczema just where the acetone was or could it lead to eczema elsewhere on the hands or even face? Trying to figure out what is triggering the eczema on my ear and on where my thumb joins the palm of my hand (which I don’t get acetone on but i do use acetone on my nails and it gets on my fingertips (which do not have eczema). Thanks!
can you make a video on scalp psoriasis? everytime I go to see my dermatologist she just recommends Otezla but I can’t afford the $5k a month!! I can’t tolerate salicylic acid or flucinolone acetonide, it just brings me a deathly itch and I’ve tried everything from prescribed 2% ketoconazole, coal tar, pyrithione zinc and nothing topical has helped! The only thing that has calmed it is not itching and I just got into the habit of itching everything as of late. Is there anything to control the itch like hydrocortisone?
5k a month 😵
I looks like Kane Williamson

You actually don’t need conditioner with a mask
It’s literally impossible to remove nail glue without acetone..
