Ooo, watch out. Vanity can lead to unexpected health issues

The Claim: Salons’ UV Nail Lights Can Cause Skin Cancer - Not fiction or myth, but a fact. If you have ever been to a nail salon you obviously know this. UV lights are used for fast drying of nail polish. After the manicure is done, women are guided by their manicurists to sit under these lights to let their nails dry. These nail lamps can be dangerous. The finding is UV rays penetrate the skin deeply and lead to cancer of the skin. A couple cases prove this to be true. "One had a 15-year history of twice-monthly UV nail light exposure to dry her nail polish.” The other used nail lights about eight times in a year before her diagnosis.

Something to think about ladies before you go under those little bright white lights!
