Care for and strengthen your nails

To adjust the length, prefer the nail file to the nail clipper which breaks the material. A very important tip on this subject: Always file in the same direction in order to close the scales of your nails. And to make them stronger and more resistant you will file your nails at least once a week.

Particular attention should be paid to the cuticles, these small skins surrounding the nail. Their essential role is to prevent bacteria from getting lodged between the nail and the skin by forming a protective veil. Healthy nails therefore often require healthy cuticles. The best is to massage them with oil or your special hand and nail cream. Then, push them back with a wooden stick.

Protect them: good daily habits

Protecting your nails in all seasons. Know that you abuse your nails every day, if only by washing your hands: they suffer, soften, split and finally break. We will obviously not advise you not to wash your hands but to protect them as soon as possible with gloves.

In winter, avoid too hot water, in the shower or in baths that are too long: prolonged contact with hot water will weaken your nails. In summer, beware of UV rays and chlorine from swimming pools, which will also damage them.
