There are
just a handful of basic products you need to look after your hands and nails.
Looked after properly, hands can maintain a youthful look for much longer and
there is nothing more elegant than perfectly groomed nails. Here is a run
through the essentials you’ll need to keep both your hands and nails in top
condition always.
1. Cuticle Remover
Cuticles can
reduce your nail size and get in the way when your painting them a new shade,
so use a cuticle remover to create a clean area that will also give the
illusion that your nails are much longer too.
2. Hand Moisturizer
Keeping your
hands moisturized can turn back the clock and there are even combined products
that also keep nails healthy too as an added bonus. Moisturizing hands is
especially important in winter time when harsh weather can leave skin dry and
even cracked.
3. Nail File
Create
smooth, flawlessly filed nails by gently using a nail file whenever they need
a shape-up. You can create different finishes to complete the look, just file
in to either square tips or rounded edges.
4. Nail Oil
It may seem
like a luxurious addition to this list, but nail oil can greatly boost the
health and growth rate of nails, so it has plenty of benefits! Just dap on a
small amount and massage deep in to your nails and you’ll see the difference.
5. Top Coat
Finish off
your manicure or new nail colour with a top coat. It will make your nail art
last longer and you can add either a glossy or matt finish, depending on the
type of top coat you buy.
