Winter nail care
Winter is harsh on our bodies; we shared some skin care tips for this season a few weeks ago.
Today, let's talk about nail care... Between the freezing cold and the dry air from indoor heating, your nails can become brittle, dull, and dry. Discover essential care and suitable products to face the rigors of the cold season.
Hydrate and nourish your nails
Cold temperatures can dry out our nails and cuticles. Make sure to hydrate and nourish these areas regularly with a quality cream or oil. Ongles d'Or offers a fine selection of products to delight your beautiful hands.
Protect and anticipate damage
To protect your nails from any kind of damage and prevent them from getting damaged, wear gloves on cold days. This will also protect against cold and wind. If your nails are damaged, use keratin-based treatments that will gradually repair them. If necessary, use a fortifier or hardener to prevent brittle nails.
Maintain your nails
Longer nails are more prone to breaking, keeping them maintained can help avoid damage. Filing and softening your nails will help keep them healthy and looking good. This helps remove dead skin and stimulates circulation. Also, use a cuticle pusher and/or cuticle nipper to give your nails a beautiful appearance.
Avoid harsh and chemical products
Many household cleaning products, poor quality polishes, or strong removers can dry out nails; try to use them as little as possible. We advise you to use our all-purpose thinner to remove your gel and resin polishes while protecting your nails thanks to jojoba oil.
Hydrate your hands
In winter, our hands are particularly exposed to external aggressions such as cold, wind, and dry air. These factors can quickly dry out the skin and weaken the nails. Good hydration is therefore essential to keep your hands soft, nourished, and protect your nails from breakage. Here are our tips for pampering your hands and preserving their beauty throughout the cold season.
Eat a varied and balanced diet
Your nails need certain minerals and vitamins to stay healthy. So make sure to eat a balanced diet most of the time and vary foods rich in biotin, vitamins C and E, and simply more nutrients.
Be gentle
Avoid biting your nails and picking at the skin around them. This can weaken and damage them. Also, try not to use your nails to open products, bottles, or remove labels.
Remember to be gentle when taking care of your nails; do not use harsh tools or chemical products that could harm them. With a little suitable care, your nails will be able to stay healthy and strong all winter long.
