Four types of gloves are actively used in the beauty industry – polyethylene, nitrile, vinyl and latex.
Gloves protect hands from exposure to chemicals, prevent the likelihood of developing allergies. During procedures with a risk of damage to the skin, their use is mandatory according to San PiN – this is your protection against diseases.
Glove material
Latex and nitrile gloves provide the best protection against infections.
Latex are very durable, elastic, stretch well, provide reliable contact with the skin and most importantly – they have a much higher tactile sensitivity than others. But in some craftsmen, they can cause allergic reactions to the proteins contained in natural latex. It is also important to know that latex is not resistant to oils and acids.
The main purpose of latex gloves is medical procedures, invasive procedures in cosmetology, tattoos, piercings.
Nitrile gloves are made from synthetic rubber, so they are a great alternative for people with latex allergies.
Nitrile is stronger than latex and more resistant to aggressive chemicals and reagents.
Vinyl gloves are dense, do not stretch, they are easy to put on and take off. But they do not protect against infections and germs. They should be used when working with minimal risks of violating the integrity of the skin.
