It seems like this warm fall will last forever, but your summer nail style is already on its way out! The nail technicians and manicurists at Dream Nails & Spa are already getting questions about the best way to take care of nails in the winter. Whether you want your natural nails to look their best, or want to make sure your nails are healthy under your new gel nails, try these winter nail tips!
Start and Finish Your Nails With A Visit To A Nail Salon in NJ
The first step to taking care of your nails is making sure they are properly cleaned, filed, and shaped—and buffed or polished, if that’s your style! You could DIY, or you could relax and let the nail techs at Dream Nail Salon handle it for you. We use the best tools in the industry, and we know how to use them right. After your manicure, your nails will be beautiful and ready for you to take care of at home.
Moisturize Your Nails and Hands to Fight Cold, Dry Weather
The biggest challenge during winter weather is the dryness. Between the cold air and the heater pumping out more dryness, your nails may start to chip, peel, or break—and your cuticles may look ragged or start to turn into hangnails. Put those clippers away and pull out some high-quality lotion or cuticle oil. If you like the products we use during your manicure, just ask and we’ll be happy to let you know what we use. Keep your hands protected while washing dishes, hanging holiday decorations, and going outside in cold weather by always wearing appropriate gloves.
Nail Techs in NJ Recommend a Nail-Healthy Diet
If you’ve ever been asked to remove nail polish before a medical procedure, you have an idea of how important nail health is to understanding the health of your body. Your nails are actually still growing, taking up water, vitamins, and proteins as they continue their slow growth. Feed them what they need by making sure to get plenty of water, lean proteins like chicken or beans, and a “rainbow” of fruits and veggies. Vitamin pills can help, but nothing is as good as the real thing for your nails.
