Dr Oz 3 Dangers In the Nail Salon

What dangers are lurking at your local nail salon?. Learn what three dangers to avoid, and what Dr Amy Wechsler recommends to do.

1. Dirty Tools: Traces of E. coli bacteria have been found on nail salon tools. This can cause serious infections on the hands and feet.

Protect Yourself: Look for salons that use UV sterilizers. A UV sterilizer can kill most of the bacteria on the tools in as little as one minute. Tools should be placed inside the sanitizer for 5 minutes.

Bring your own tools to the nail salon. The tools in Dr Oz's undercover in nail salons they just moved the tray of tools they used on the client to the next customer.

2. Dirty Tubs: Mycobacteria, fungus and yeast have been found in the pedicure tubs.
Protect Yourself: Use a tub liner to keep your feet away from the tub walls. These liners cost only about $1. These tubs were only rinsed, they were not disinfected.

Never shave your legs the day you are planning to get a pedicure. The micro-nicks in the skin more readily allow these dangerous bacteria in.

3. Illegal Procedures: The “foot razor,” used to remove calluses, is illegal in most states. Often, nail salon employees cut the skin by accident; most don’t clean the bloody razors properly. This is a serious health violation and should be avoided entirely.

Protect Yourself: Use a callous solution(foot razor) Callus Shaver
or heel cream at home to safely dissolve hardened skin. Dr. Wechsler recommended Carmol 20 20% Carbamide Cream

Remember Dr Oz and Dr Amy Wechsler Nail salon Tips; Purchase your on tub liners, Plus it it safer to take your own Pedicure Tools .
