What action is prohibited by regulations concerning living skin during nail services?

The prohibition against cutting or removing living skin during nail services is rooted in maintaining health and safety standards for clients. Living skin, or the cuticle area, is sensitive and serves as a protective barrier against infections. Cutting or removing this skin can lead to various complications, such as infections, irritation, and other adverse skin reactions. Moreover, it can create an entry point for bacteria and other pathogens, which increases the risk of serious skin conditions.

By adhering to regulations that restrict cutting or removing living skin, nail technicians demonstrate their commitment to client safety and proper hygiene practices. This approach not only helps to maintain the integrity of the skin but also fosters a more positive and safe experience for clients receiving nail services.
