Whether you paint your nails yourself or get your nails done regularly at the salon, know that what you do at home has the biggest impact on keeping them looking healthy. How you take care of your hands, how often you wash them and how you treat them ... all this has a real impact on the appearance of the nail plates. Therefore, let's look at daily rituals and care that can restore their youthful appearance.
Nail conditioner
Let's start with the basics, i.e. how to shorten nails to avoid mistakes that lead to delamination and cracking of the plates. It would seem that this is the simplest thing in the world, but we do not always do it in accordance with the principles that guide manicure masters. And here the question should be asked: how to shorten them? Accessory number one is a good file. The good news is that most nail care accessories cost less than PLN 10, so the choice should not depend on the price. Well, it is important to choose a thin and smooth file, and in no case metal! Sharp nails can worsen the condition of your nails, causing them to split and break. If you have very thin and weak nails, choose a glass file, such as Inter-Vion double-sided.. or paper with the smallest grain, for example, from Beauty Tools. Always file in one direction, for example, from outside to inside. And although it's a bit of a hassle, it's worth taking a few more minutes to shorten your nails this way. This ensures that their ends become stronger and there are no split ends. Professionals say that this is the only way to “close” the nail plate, giving it smoothness without microdamages. There is something else. The shape of the nails matters. If you like square tiles, remember that they make your hands look old and are easily damaged, for example, by getting caught on clothes. Try rounding the sides, you'll see the difference!
The next step in skincare is moisturizing. Like hands, nails need cream. Otherwise, they become dry and sensitive, begin to break and exfoliate. And it will not be an exaggeration if, after each wash, cream and oil are rubbed into the nails. Thanks to this, you will keep healthy, elastic plates and even crusts around them. A good and natural composition of the hand care product can be found in the Siberica Professional formula, and the nail and cuticle oil can be rubbed into the soothing and emollient Gehwol.
Oil for hands and nails
It's time to deal with the myth that hybrid nail damage is not true. The torture is damaged by a cut that precedes the spreading of the colored gel. In addition, its removal also requires smoothing the plates with a file, which further destroys the keratin of the nails. It is not surprising that after removing the hybrid, the nails grow back within a month and regain their hardness. Therefore, in everyday life, it is best to use traditional varnishes with a nourishing base to strengthen and extend the durability of the color. Gel nails are best reserved for special occasions such as a wedding or holiday.
To protect your nails and keep them looking flawless, don't forget to rinse off your nail polish. Among cosmetics, nail polish removers, detergents and water have the most destructive effect. So wash off your nail polish with oil-rich formulas like Delia Regenerating. And when it comes to hand soap, opt for rich, nourishing formulas with vitamins, oils and a gentle cleansing base. You can try Buna soap with oils and sage extract.
If you are a supporter of dietary supplements, it is worth remembering that the only supplement with a scientifically proven effect of strengthening nails is biotin, i.e. water-soluble vitamin B. Its use requires patience, because the nail needs to fully recover. up to six months. If you are patient, try Swanson Biotin Tablets.
