Never forget nailcare

We no longer justify trends by saying ‘beauty hurts’; the latest beauty crazes focus on achieving that longed-for look with care instead of at all costs.

Skincare, haircare, next up is nailcare: a seemingly insignificant yet crucial aspect of your overall appearance. Beauty pageant contestants are judged right down to their fingertips. Nails indicate grooming etiquette, a commitment to self-care, and provide a polished, finished appearance. Day-to-day, nails are just as important a detail. Consider your nails, with or without colour, another accessory to a completed look.

Our nails are exposed to weather, humidity, touchpoints, harsh chemicals, and potential ripping, chipping, and biting. This can naturally lead to brittle-looking nails and weak nail health. If you notice ridges or uneven textures in your nails, it might be a sign to give your nails some tender loving care.

Proper care is critical to saving our nails as they endure the elements. The best in the industry suggest a classic manicure, with trimming, shaping, cuticle care, and a good-quality clear or coloured polish. Always seek a well-trained technician who uses the correct filing, application, and removal techniques to avoid further trauma to the nail. Experts advise that frequent manicures can be harmful, so let your nails breathe every so often.

TAKING CARE OF NAILS:
– Opt for a natural-looking manicure, to avoid manipulating and harming the nail.
– Nails need hydration, so apply cuticle oil and hand creams to protect and strengthen the nailbed, and stimulate growth.
– Wear gloves when cleaning or using harsh chemicals.
– vVisit a manicurist or your nail technician often for regular professional manicures and nail health upkeep.
– When typing, ensure the pads of your fingers touch the keyboard instead of your nails.
– Maintain regular iron, vitamin C, biotin, iron, and zinc intake within your diet to promote nail growth.
