Building a Simple Evening Nail Care Routine for Fall
Ready to keep your nails looking fab this fall? This simple evening routine will help maintain their health and strength, perfect for busy lives.
The ritual, step by step
- Remove old polish Start by gently removing any old nail polish with a non-acetone remover. This prevents damage and allows your nails to breathe.
- File and shape nails Use a fine-grit nail file to shape your nails. Always file from the outside towards the centre to avoid splits.
- Moisturise cuticles Apply cuticle oil generously to nourish the skin around your nails. Massage it in to promote circulation and hydration.
- Apply a strengthening treatment Use a nail strengthener to provide extra support while you sleep. This helps to fortify your nails against breaks.
- Finish with hand cream Don’t forget your hands! Apply a rich hand cream to keep your skin hydrated and your nails protected overnight.
Where people go wrong
Many people skip the cuticle care, thinking it’s unnecessary, but this can lead to dryness and damage. Others may file back and forth instead of in one direction, risking splits. Lastly, forgetting to moisturise your hands can leave them dry and cracked.
