 Keeping hands and nails beautiful
can become a challenge.
Here are some simple
steps that will improve the appearance of your hands and
nails and keep them looking great all year long.
- Moisturize
on a regular basis.
- Nails
and cuticles require a little extra attention - use cuticle oil, it is better able to penetrate
the skin and moisturize the cuticle area than a cream.
- Once
a week try soaking your nails in some warm olive oil
for a few minutes and then rubbing the oil into your
nails and cuticles.
- Use
professional nail strengtheners to combat peeling
and brittle nails. Be sure to consult a professional
salon as nail hardeners sold in drugstores often contain
formaldehyde and other damaging ingredients, which
will actually dry out your nails and make the problem
worse rather than better.
- Some final points to remember:
- Invest some time and effort in your hands and
nails.
- Wear gloves when your hands are in water or using
chemicals.
- Always protect them from the elements including the sun, cold, wind etc.
- Keep nails filed smooth so as not to get caught
or snagged.
- Finally, moisturize regularly.
