Why this worksNails can become dry and brittle, especially after winter. A hydrating routine helps to maintain moisture, preventing breakage and promoting healthy growth. By using the right products and techniques, you can transform your nail care game this spring.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with a Gentle Cleanse Use a mild nail cleanser to wash away dirt and oils. This prepares your nails for better absorption of hydrating products.
  2. Exfoliate Your Cuticles Gently push back cuticles and use a cuticle scrub to remove dead skin. This helps to promote healthy nail growth and allows moisturisers to penetrate better.
  3. Apply a Nourishing Oil Massage a cuticle oil into your nails and cuticles. This provides essential hydration and nutrients, keeping your nails flexible and less prone to breakage.
  4. Use a Hydrating Base Coat Before applying polish, use a hydrating base coat. This not only protects your nails but also adds an extra layer of moisture.
  5. Finish with a Top Coat Seal your manicure with a high-quality top coat. This adds shine and helps to lock in moisture, giving your nails a polished look.

Where people go wrong

Many skip cuticle care, thinking it's unnecessary. Others use harsh soaps that strip moisture. Remember, a good base coat is crucial for hydration, so don’t overlook it!

The pro moveFor extra hydration, consider wearing gloves while doing dishes or cleaning.
