The rest of your body can occasionally be overlooked because hair and skincare receive so much attention. This is the reason I wanted to talk about nail health today and how to properly give your nails the care and attention they need. For the past year or so, I've been having gel manicures religiously. However, a few weeks ago, I ended up pulling the manicure off myself because I didn't have time to visit a nail salon! (Note: don't do this ever.) It dawned on me then that I needed a nail detox badly because regular gel manicures are hard on the nail beds.
After doing some research and asking around the office, I developed the following nail care advice: First, notice those cuticles. As vital as your nails themselves is the condition of your cuticles! Your fingertips and cuticles stay incredibly hydrated and silky thanks to it. It's ideal to use it just before bed so that the benefits can seep into your skin all night long! While it's best to avoid excessive cuticle cutting, a small tool like this one works well for trimming or removing any hangnails.
Second: No Love, No Gloves Wear gloves while you're cleaning or doing the dishes. These rubber gloves are a great way to protect your hands and nails from any harsh chemicals you may be handling! Moisture, Moisture, Moisture It may seem obvious, but your hands and nails require hydration just as much as your face! An excellent, non-greasy, multifunctional super balm. It absorbs quickly into your skin and is incredibly light.
Lastly, Consume vitamin supplements There are vitamins and supplements that are specifically designed for your hair and nails, in addition to being beneficial for your general health and well-being!
