Strong and beautiful: how to properly care for nails
Well-groomed hands are not only silky skin, but also healthy, shiny nails. It is they who take all the attention to themselves and make an impression of our hands as a whole. Find out what it takes to keep them strong and beautiful.
1 Cream
When using hand cream, don't just focus on the back of your hand, and don't forget your nails. Take care of your cuticles too. Massage the skin around each nail with a cream – this will improve microcirculation and deliver nutrients to the nail.
2 Cuticle treatment
Use cuticle products regularly. They nourish the nails well and soften the skin around them, which can then be corrected with an orange stick or with a manicure set.
3 Rest
Give your nails a break from aggressive gel polishes. Nail strengthening coatings, such as those with calcium, seaweed, B vitamins and D-panthenol, protect and improve the structure of the nail and give the nails a well-groomed appearance. At the same time, when applying a coating, it is important to “seal" the nail on the end surface with it, which will prevent its delamination. The care coat should be renewed every 2-3 days.
4 Hand protection
If you frequently use hand sanitizers, which can dry out your skin and affect nail health, be sure to reapply moisturizing hand lotion as well. It will not be superfluous to use a nourishing mask for hands and nails once a week. And, of course, clean only with rubber gloves.
5 Health
Nails, as a rule, reflect the state of health of the body, and if you notice that they have become weaker and brittle for no apparent reason (for example, frequent application of gel polish or contact with household chemicals), do not be too lazy to contact a therapist to find out the internal reasons.
