What precaution should be taken when using UV light for curing gels?

When using UV light for curing gels, it is crucial to avoid prolonged exposure to clients' skin. This precaution is necessary because UV light can cause skin damage, including burns and an increased risk of skin cancer with excessive exposure. Protecting the skin from prolonged contact with UV light not only ensures the safety of the client but also aligns with best practices in the nail care industry.

Maintaining safety while using UV light enhances the overall client experience and promotes responsible service in manicuring. Proper techniques and client education about the importance of limiting exposure help to mitigate potential risks associated with UV radiation during the gel curing process.
