Which product temporarily stops the production of oils on the nail plate?

The product that temporarily stops the production of oils on the nail plate is the nail dehydrator. Nail dehydrators are specifically formulated to remove moisture and oils from the nail surface, creating a dry environment that is essential for better adhesion of enhancements such as nail polish, acrylics, or gels. By eliminating excess oils, a nail dehydrator enhances the bond between the nail plate and the products applied, reducing the likelihood of lifting or peeling.

Nail primers, while also important, primarily serve to promote adhesion by altering the surface of the nail, but they do not have the same oil-reducing effect as dehydrators. Nail polish is a cosmetic product applied over the nails for color and protection but does not interact with the oils on the nail plate in the same way. Nail treatments are designed to nourish or strengthen the nails but, similar to polish, don’t serve the primary function of oil removal necessary for subsequent application processes.
