HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR NAILS

It takes just a few simple steps to get hands with well-groomed and chic nails. Here are the things to know to perform a perfect nail care every day.

Nail Beauty

To always have beautiful, well-groomed nails, here's what to do:

Remove all traces of glaze with an acetone-free solvent.
Immediately rinse both hands to prevent the solvent from remaining in contact with the nails for too long, risking to dry them.
Dip your hands in warm water and soap for a few minutes.
Eliminates dead skin around nails.
Once your hands are dry, dip them in warm olive oil, which nourishes and strengthens the keratin in your nails.
Then pass the file starting from the sides and going towards the center always in the same direction, so as not to flake them. Avoid metal files that break the nail.
Apply a moisturizing cream or lotion and then gently massage nails and fingers.
If you put a colored nail polish, apply a base coat, to avoid staining your nails.

Steel Nails

To show off your nails with pride, you have to take care of them every day: fortify them, treat them and protect them: that's how.

Fortify Them

If you have brittle nails that break easily, avoid growing them too much. Even cut, fairly short. Massage it every night with a special nail cream, or a little olive oil, to prevent it from flaking off.
Some dietary deficiencies can affect nail health. To cope, make a brewer's yeast cure. You can also eat soy, seafood and fish.

Treat Them

For healthy nails, take regular cuticles. These cuticles, which serve to protect the nail base, flake off easily. After massaging the nails with a special cream, remove them with a cotton swab or cuticle tweezers.

Protect Them

To protect your nails, use specific treatments:
for soft nails, a treatment that strengthens and hardens
for the nails that break, a hardening treatment
for dry nails, a nourishing nail polish

Last optional gesture: enamel. This can be purely aesthetic, but can also be used to solve some small problems of hardness or flaking of the nails, for example. There are enamels on the market that harden the keratin and prevent the nail from breaking.

The Right Advice

Don't eat your nails! If you have this habit, apply a specific nail polish with a bitter taste that will make you lose the habit.
To wash your hands, use cold water, or try not to use too hot water.
Avoid cutting your nails, it is better to file them to prevent them from flaking off.
Do not overdo the quick-drying enamels, because they favor weakening and the consequent breaking of the nail.
