🥂🌈✨With the development of the economy and the love of beauty, more and more women like to do manicures. It is vital to keep your nails fresh, healthy, and long-lasting. Here’s a step-by-step guide to proper nail care post-manicure:
👉1. Keep Them Dry & Clean
(1) Avoid prolonged exposure to water (e.g., washing dishes, swimming) for at least 2-3 hours after a manicure to allow polish/treatments to fully set.
(2) Wear gloves when doing chores involving water or harsh chemicals.
👉2. Moisturize Regularly
(1) Apply cuticle oil (jojoba, almond, or vitamin E oil) daily to prevent dryness and peeling.
(2) Use a hand cream to keep nails and skin hydrated.
👉3. Avoid Picking or Biting
(1) Don’t peel off polish—it can strip layers of your natural nail.
(2) Resist biting nails or cuticles to prevent damage and infections.
👉4. Protect Your Nails
(1) If you have gel/acrylic nails, avoid using them as tools (e.g., opening cans).
(2) File nails in one direction (not back-and-forth) to prevent splits.
👉5. Maintain Polish (If Applied)
(1) Apply a top coat every 2-3 days to extend the life of regular polish.
(2) For chipped polish, touch up with the same color or remove it completely.
👉6. Strengthen Weak Nails
(1) Use a nail hardener or biotin supplements if nails are brittle.
(2) Avoid acetone-based removers (opt for acetone-free instead).
👉7. Give Nails a Break
(1) If you frequently wear polish/gel/acrylics, take breaks (1-2 weeks) to let nails breathe and recover.
👉8. Watch for Infections
(1) If you notice redness, swelling, or pain around nails, consult a dermatologist (possible fungal/bacterial infection).
👉9. Healthy Diet for Strong Nails
(1) Eat protein-rich foods (eggs, fish), biotin (nuts, avocados), and stay hydrated.
By following these steps, your nails will stay strong, shiny, and beautiful longer! 💅✨
