Your Nail Polish Doesn’t Need SPF

Believe it or not, the skin under your nails can get cancer. Subungual melanoma, as it’s known, appears as a dark stripe under the nail. This is why some nail polishes come with SPF. But you don’t need that added protection, says the American Academy of Dermatology.
If you get a manicure, you don’t need a fancy polish to protect your nails. An ordinary opaque polish is enough. Otherwise, a regular layer of sunscreen can guard against cancer.
