Maintaining healthy nails and hands between manicure appointments is essential for prolonging the lifespan of your manicure and keeping your nails looking their best. While regular visits to PURE NAILS can help address any issues and provide professional care from our nail technicians, there are several simple steps you can take at home to ensure your nails and hands remain healthy and strong. Here are some tips for nail care between manicure appointments:
Keep Nails Clean and Dry
One of the most important aspects of nail care is keeping your nails clean and dry. After washing your hands, make sure to thoroughly dry your nails, paying special attention to the area around the cuticles. Moisture trapped under the nails can lead to bacterial or fungal infections, so it’s essential to keep your nails clean and dry to prevent any potential issues.
Moisturize Regularly
Hydrating your nails and cuticles is key to maintaining their health and preventing dryness and brittleness. Use our PURE NAILS cuticle oil and apply it regularly throughout the day, especially after washing your hands or exposing them to harsh chemicals or water. Massage the product into your nails and cuticles to improve circulation and promote healthy nail growth.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Limit your exposure to harsh chemicals, such as household cleaning products. These chemicals can strip your nails of their natural oils and weaken them over time. Whenever possible, wear gloves when cleaning or performing tasks that involve exposure to chemicals to protect your nails and hands.
Protect Your Nails
Wear gloves when performing tasks that may expose your nails to potential damage, such as gardening or household chores. Gloves provide an extra layer of protection against chemicals and moisture, helping to keep your nails strong and healthy.
Maintain Healthy Habits
In addition to external care, maintaining overall health and wellness is essential for promoting strong, beautiful nails. Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and nutrients, stay hydrated, and get plenty of rest to support nail growth and strength from within.
By following these simple tips for nail care between manicure appointments, you can keep your hands and nails looking and feeling their best. Remember to keep your nails clean and dry, moisturize regularly, avoid harsh chemicals, protect your nails, and maintain healthy habits to promote strong, beautiful nails that last. With a little care and attention, you can enjoy healthy, strong nails every day.
