A destination for beauty, health, and wellness
The cold air, low humidity and indoor heating of winter months can take a toll on your hands and nails, affecting the results of your manicures. But with the right care and a few simple adjustments to your routine, you can keep your hands and nails healthy, hydrated and looking great all season long.
Cold air can strip your skin of moisture, so use a rich, nourishing hand cream at least twice a day. Look for products that contain ingredients like shea butter to lock in moisture. It’s also helpful to wear cotton gloves after applying hand cream at night to seal in the hydration.
Gently exfoliate your hands once a week with a scrub or a homemade sugar and oil mixture. This helps prevent the build-up of dry, flaky skin and allows your moisturizer to work more effectively. Pay special attention to areas like your knuckles and the backs of your hands, which tend to get the driest during winter.
To keep your nails strong and avoid ragged cuticles, apply a nourishing nail oil or cuticle oil daily to keep them moisturized and prevent cracking. Additionally, make sure you’re not overexposing your nails to water, as prolonged contact with moisture can weaken them, so wear gloves as needed.
With the right care, you’ll be able to enjoy soft hands and healthy nails for beautiful manicures even in the coldest weather.
