Revive Nails at Home: Expert Tips for Cuticle Care
After harsh gel removals left the author's nails in poor condition, they decided to pause salon visits and focus on at-home care. Experts suggest that maintaining clean, hydrated, and healthy cuticles is key to strong nails and a 'clean' look in DIY manicures.
Cuticles, the thin layer of skin at the base of your nails, protect the nail bed from bacteria and infection. Neglecting them can lead to weaker nails, hangnails, and other issues. To care for cuticles at home, start by washing hands and gently pushing back cuticles using a soft brush or cotton swab. Trim any loose skin, but avoid cutting too much. Regularly apply cuticle oil and use a rich hand balm or cream to keep them hydrated. Certain polishes and strengtheners can also help improve nail health. Remember, consistent care is crucial for maintaining nail health and the appearance of non-professional manicures. Healthy cuticles promote stronger nail growth, fewer chips and breaks, and longer-lasting manicures.
By following these simple steps, anyone can improve their nail health and achieve a clean look at home. Regular cuticle care, using the right products, and being gentle with your nails will lead to stronger nails and better-looking manicures.
