Staying Fresh with Manicure and Pedicure

The disadvantage of ignorance towards proper care for your nails can lead to the worst outcome during a special day. Another problem men and women have that they rely on harsh chemicals and treatments. You can save your nails from those by considering the steps below.

1. Never be the boss of your cuticles- the cuticle serves as the barrier to fungus and bacteria. When the cuticle is damaged, it becomes red and swollen; thus giving infection the freedom to thrive and can cause permanent nail damage. If you want your cuticles to be thin, pushing them back can be lesser evil just like how professionals work on your manicure and pedicure.
2. Avoid nail hardeners- the use of such chemicals can be harmful for healthy nails. A healthy nail is flexible, so usage of nail hardeners should be avoided. However, there is an exception for every rule, nails that are extremely weak and fragile benefit from nail hardeners so they can still enjoy a manicure and pedicure at its best.
3. Moisturize- just like the skin, the nails are made up of keratin which are natural proteins that maintain its glow. Professionals suggest additional services before or after manicure and pedicure to maintain the moisture of your nails. Another tip is to have adequate rest intervals between manicure and pedicures for the nails to retain its natural oils and avoid chipping and breaking.
4. Supplements- Biotin (member of the vitamin B family), is found as the perfect supplement for your nails. It increases the nail’s thickness and prevent them from splitting. This therapeutic regimen has not been incorporated with nail products yet but some contain silicon and the supplement MSM, which are both associated with nail health. Save yourself from the supplement that does not work at all, Gelatin. The misconception of this product can lead to nail weakness as it is soaked into water.
5. Avoid rough emery boards- traditionally, manicures and pedicures were done with rough emery boards; little do they know that these materials will only cause small fissures and cracks on your nails that can lead to further damage. Instead, you can use fine nail files in one direction only.
